Porsche is now pursuing a plan that could see pure electric Boxster and Cayman variants using the company’s new PPE architecture offered alongside updated versions of today’s models featuring hybrid and plug in hybrid drivetrains.

2021 Porsche Cayenne has a high-end cabin, full of soft leather surfaces and other luxurious touches, as well as the seats are roomy and accomodating.The 2021 Cayenne plug-in hybrid models are expected to get more electric range thanks to a larger battery.

These versions get a 17.9-kilowatt-hour battery pack, up from 14.1 kwh before. The increased capacity will yield a 30% electric-range improvement on the European WLTP testing cycle, according to news reports.

Moreover, the Cayenne E-Hybrid uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 gasoline engine, a single electric motor, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Also, the Turbo S E-Hybrid swaps the V-6 for a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. Total system outputs are unchanged, at 455 horsepower for the Cayenne E-Hybrid, and 670 hp for the Turbo S E-Hybrid.

On other hand, Porsche offers the Cayenne E-Hybrid and the more powerful Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, the current versions of which debuted for the 2019 and 2020 model years, respectively. Both variants are available in standard-roof and Cayenne Coupe body styles.
