Porsche confirms that the beloved Cayenne will maintain combustion engine options beyond 2030, alongside new electric variants, ensuring availability for enthusiasts.

Porsche Cayenne with Combustion Engine Set to Continue Sales Beyond 2030

Porsche’s most popular model, the Cayenne, will continue with an internal combustion engine beyond 2030. The German brand has confirmed that it will introduce a "further upgrade" to the current third-generation Cayenne, which received a major mid-cycle update last year.

  2. Fourth-gen Cayenne is a Pure EV SUV

The third-generation Cayenne will be sold alongside the upcoming fourth-generation electric version of the SUV. The new Cayenne EV will be technically unrelated to its predecessor, which will still be available with internal combustion and hybrid powertrains.

The "further upgrade" to the current Cayenne will focus on its 4.0-litre V8 engine, producing 475hp in the Cayenne S, 659hp in the Cayenne GT, and an impressive 739hp in the top-spec Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid PHEV. A majority of these updates will aim to enhance the engine’s efficiency.

However, there is no information about upgrades on the 3.0-litre V6 engine, which is available with 355hp or 470hp in the Cayenne e-Hybrid and 528hp in the Cayenne S e-Hybrid PHEV models.

While the internal combustion-powered Cayenne will be available post-2030, its future also depends on market regulations as some countries like the United Kingdom have announced a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035.

The announcement comes just after a significant dip in year-on-year EV sales in Europe, witnessing only a negligible 2% increase in the first half of 2024 compared to a robust 28% growth during the same timeframe last year. This decline may have led Porsche to extend the life of the Cayenne, its most popular combustion-engine model, amid concerns that the Cayenne EV might not be readily accepted by buyers.

While the future of the combustion-engine Cayenne appears secure, its smaller sibling, the Macan, is set to go fully electric by 2026.
