Porsche’s popular mid-size Cayenne SUV is set to go all-electric in its next generation. Recent spy shots have sparked a buzz in the automotive world, revealing the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV fitted with Hankook’s Ion tires, specially designed for electric vehicles (EV).
The spy photos, which caught the Porsche Cayenne EV during a charging session, clearly show the Hankook-branded tires. Hankook’s Ion line has garnered praise for its noise reduction and ride comfort, making it a strong contender for the production version of the Cayenne EV.
The Cayenne has been a cornerstone of Porsche’s lineup, with impressive sales figures in the competitive luxury SUV segment. Hankook’s selection for this key model underscores the tire maker’s growing presence in the premium EV market. Porsche’s electrification strategy continues to unfold, with the Cayenne EV following the Macan EV in the brand’s transition to electric power. The Cayenne EV is expected to hit showrooms in 2027.
In related news, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe EV has been tested at Germany’s Nürburgring, signaling that development is well underway. The test vehicle maintains the familiar Cayenne silhouette while incorporating advanced aerodynamic features, such as an active rear spoiler, strategically positioned air brakes, and front aero flaps—all designed to enhance high-speed stability.
While Porsche has yet to release official specifications, industry insiders speculate that the Cayenne EV could boast around 900 horsepower. The lithium-ion battery pack is expected to deliver a range exceeding 500 kilometers (310 miles) on a single charge, positioning the Cayenne EV as a formidable competitor in the luxury electric SUV market.
