Porsche revealed images of the Cayenne EV prototype, giving us an idea of what the production-spec SUV will look like. The model will have a similar silhouette as the outgoing model, while sporting several EV-specific styling cues. The prototype featured DRLs similar to the Macan EV, which could make it to the production-spec model. The model will be built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture which also underpins the Porsche Macan EV and its sister car, the Audi Q6 e-Tron. Both these vehicles are offered in both all-wheel-drive (AWD) and rear-wheel-drive (RWD) formats, and are equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack.

The statement says that camouflaged prototypes of the all-electric Cayenne have already left the Porsche factory for testing.
