As Porsche continues its drip feed of information on its new Cayenne Electric, the company has now seen fit to reveal the interior of its full-sized electric SUV. The car, set to debut at the end of the year, will feature a radical rearchitecting that places the fully-digital interface front and centre.
The big news here is the Flow Display, an OLED centre touchscreen that curves into the raised centre console. While the exact size hasn’t been made known, Zuffenhausen claims it is the largest display ever fitted to a Porsche, and when combined with the optional 14.9-inch passenger screen – which, as per the Taycan and Macan, features a polariser to prevent drivers from being distracted by what’s playing – it also forms the company’s largest continuous “digital surface”.
Underpinning the display is a new interface that places controls on the lower half the Flow Display, placing them within reach of the hand when placed on the wide palm rest. Porsche has also put the Taycan’s touch-based air-con controls firmly in the past, retaining physical switches for temperature, fan speed and the like – although the air vents still appear to be controlled via the touchscreen, for better or worse. A more powerful AI-powered voice assistant and a smartphone- and smartwatch-based Digital Key have also been added.
Ahead of the driver sits another curved 14.25-inch OLED instrument display, plus an optional augmented reality head-up display with an effective display size of 87 inches. True to Porsche form, the also-optional Sport Chrono analogue stopwatch still sits on top.
The Cayenne Electric’s screen-heavy layout has forced the dashboard to be more angular, giving the car a tough, almost off-roader vibe. To soften it, Porsche has widened the customisation options to include 13 colour combinations, including the new Magnesium Grey, Lavender and Sage Grey hues. Buyers can also opt for a leather-free interior with Race-Tex microfibre upholstery and classic Pepita houndstooth fabric, the latter usually reserved for Porsche’s two-door sports cars.
Other new features include standard power-reclining rear seats, expanded ambient lighting, the largest panoramic sunroof ever fitted to a Porsche (replete with an electrochromic “frosting” function) and surface heating on the armrests and door panels. There’s also a Mood Modes function that adjusts the lighting, air con, sound system and seat functions to create different “atmospheres”.
The new Cayenne Electric is set to offer a slew of Porsche’s latest technologies, including Porsche Active Ride – first seen on the third-generation Panamera – and what looks set to be the world’s first production EV wireless charger. Due to slowing EV demand, however, the company will continue to sell the existing combustion-powered third-generation Cayenne alongside it, with a comprehensive facelift planned.

Germans autos will see their downfall soon enough because one day most luxury car buyers would think there is no reason to buy conti cars over the chinese since the interiors are hardly distinguishable
nope u r wrong. This is typical poor man thinking. Just look at watches. a rolex or cartier that cost 100k to 1 mil is just a same watch as a RM100 watch. Probably the RM100 will outlast the lux watch without any maintenance care and daily usage. LV shoes that cost RM10-20k is just another shoes and probably less comfort and harder to take care with some raw leathers than a sub100 Bata shoes. They both are exactly shoes and watches without additional features. U know what? Ultra rich probably dont care bout price and wear cheap things which they see as beautiful because they already taste everything during their mid to high level period. normally mid will waste very much on lux brands. high level is a mix of both cheap and expensive consumer where they tend to use cheaper items which they like and see as reliable. however the high level will at least not compromise on vehicle for image or safety or personal taste. Talk bout their image fleet will always have the Germans or Conti parked at garage. For show or for assurance or image. They drive it or not it depends. Probably the 2nd and third car could be Chinese or Japanese which they drive more but keep in mind, the lux market never die since more than 1000 years. Even LV survived more than 100 years because they will always be wannabe middle class, and ppl will long for lux brand for self fulfillment once a while. A wife that can provide 24H work clean cook deliciously take care of family and everything and tough without complain ans still treat husband good is ideal but looks will be compromised. Men always long for a sexy, beautiful wife with extreme demon bed practice but those cant clean work or cook as good. So some with money will buy them as play doll or sugar babe. understand?
cars are not watches/shoes. main difference is LV brand selling price is 10x the price of Bata brand, but merc/bmw car selling price is maybe only 1.5x price of competing china brands. clearly the trend is conti cars global market share is already shrinking.
