Like every car manufacturer in the early 2020s, Porsche revealed ambitious EV plans. Porsche was taking its best-selling car, the Macan, all-electric. The next-generation 718 sports car was going all-electric.

Porsche is committed to electrified SUVs. Really is. It makes no apologies for filling the Macan exclusively with volts. And yet, it might be filling an entirely new SUV with a series of expertly controlled explosions. That’s right, the Cayenne and Macan might be getting a naughty new sibling. Naughty because… well, combustion, right?

Porsche has confirmed that its electric Cayenne SUV will be launched in late 2025. The announcement was made by CEO Oliver Blume during a recent Q&A session. The fourth-generation model will be fully electric while the current Cayenne will continue to use combustion engines.

Richardson: Cadillacs do feature plenty of analog-style switches and buttons, like the Porsche, and active sport suspension is a $950 option. But at 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged four-cylinder, the XT4 is slightly less powerful than the Lincoln. Just sayin’.

Afterwards, Porsche will stick to its plan to sell the Macan purely as an electric SUV. But that leaves a gap in the brand’s line-up for a mid-sized SUV running combustion engines, and today Porsche CEO Oliver Blume announced a new model to fill that hole.

In addition to announcing plans to develop a new gasoline SUV to replace the Macan, the company also expressed its long-term commitment to ICEs. CEO Oliver Blume revealed during the Annual Press Conference that the Cayenne and Panamera will retain gas power "far into the 2030s.

Porsche has been more tempered than most automakers when it comes to electrification or at least as it relates to making promises. As the likes of the new Macan EV and the awe-inspiring Taycan have shown,

Porsche will continue producing gas and hybrid cars alongside EVs well into the 2030s, and a new one arrives this year.
