EV Channels Review

Porsche's new all-electric Cayenne (E4) makes a strong debut, impressing with its advanced technology and dynamic performance. The vehicle is built on an extended PPE platform, offering a substantial interior with ample space, particularly in the rear, and a premium feel with high-quality materials and configurable options. Key technological highlights include an 11 kW wireless charging system, which offers remarkable convenience, and an 800V architecture enabling ultra-fast DC charging (over 400 kW) and significant regenerative braking (600 kW). The reviewer praises the active suspension for its ability to provide a stiff, sporty ride on track while maintaining off-road capability. Performance is exceptional, with the top-tier Turbo model delivering over 1000 PS and impressive towing capacity. Downsides are minimal, with the reviewer noting the US market's AC charging limitation to the passenger side or wireless charging, and a slight awkwardness in the air vent integration. Overall, the E4 Cayenne is presented as a highly capable and technologically advanced electric SUV that pushes boundaries.
