Porsche: Next Cayenne with optimized chassis
CARE IN DETAIL Since 2017, the Porsche Cayenne has been manufactured entirely at Volkswagen Slovakia in Bratislava. Now the Zuffenhausen-based company has decided to produce the fourth generation of the sports SUV in Bratislava as well.
The fourth, all-electric generation of the Porsche Cayenne will be launched in the second half of the decade. Porsche AG has decided to also manufacture the next Cayenne at Volkswagen Slovakia's multi-brand site in Bratislava. After the Taycan, the Macan and the 718, the Cayenne will be the fourth Porsche model series with an all-electric drive. An additional all-electric SUV above the Cayenne will then be built at the Porsche plant in Leipzig in the second half of the decade.
Future Cayenne an all-electric SUV
Albrecht Reimold, Member of the Executive Board for Production and Logistics at Porsche, knows the strengths of the Bratislava site from his own experience: "The plant in Bratislava has done an outstanding job in recent years and has received several awards. The future Cayenne will be the first purely electric SUV to be manufactured there. I am sure that the team is preparing meticulously for this and will bring the new generation to the starting line in typical Porsche quality."
Long-distance comfort and off-road capability
In addition to realigning the drive portfolio with combustion engines and hybrid drives that are as powerful as they are efficient, the engineers also worked on the Cayenne's chassis technology. The soon-to-be-launched facelift variant was redesigned with the aim of creating an even wider range between typical Porsche on-road performance, long-distance comfort, and off-road capability.
The Cayenne has been shaping the sports SUV segment for more than 20 years. With 95,604 vehicles delivered, it recorded the highest demand among the Porsche model series in its anniversary year 2022. And that is set to remain the case.
