A Cayenne coupe coming?
Many luxury-vehicle makers have already created fastback versions of their utility vehicles — starting with the BMW X6 years ago, and followed by the Mercedes-benz GLE — so why should
Porsche be left out? Since spies have spotted such a prototype vehicle already, it’s a virtual certainty that Porsche will introduce a four-door “coupe” version of the popular Cayenne utility vehicle. The new model, which is expected to launch sometime in 2019 as a 2020 model, will look just like a tall wagon from the front, but behind the rear doors a giant hatch will change the vehicle’s character from staid to sporty, with a unique roof-mounted spoiler in back. There’s no definitive word as to powertrains, but it’s likely that the Cayenne’s current engine lineup will carry over. Porsche has confirmed it plans to give the Cayenne a turbo S E-hybrid option, most likely with a Panamera-matching 671 horsepower, so we can expect the coupe version will eventually follow suit
with a performance electric version as well.
