The Cayenne Electric will get the biggest continuous screen ever fitted inside a Porsche
Porsche reveals the cabin of its upcoming e-powered SUV
Porsche has revealed the first pictures of the Cayenne Electric’s cabin, and it’s not a cabin anymore. The company is now calling this area where you sit down and drive and eat snacks and listen to interminable podcasts an “experiential space”.
And it’s an “experiential space” absolutely dominated by the largest continuous display ever fitted inside a Porsche road car. Might want to give the cheese puffs a miss.
Because while the driver gets their own 14.25in OLED instrument cluster and head-up display, the passenger can enjoy an optional 14.9in display able to stream their favourite videos while on the move, paired seamlessly with the central ‘Flow Display’.
That Flow Display is a curved OLED touchscreen, underneath which sit actual physical controls for the temperature and volume. It’s a sleek bit of kit, for sure.
Naturally you’ll be able to personalise these screens with Porsche’s ‘Themes App’, offering a choice of five colour schemes to choose from. And perhaps less naturally, there’s an artificial intelligence voice assistant on board apparently able to “reliably understand complex instructions as well as spontaneous follow-up questions”.
There are ‘Mood Modes’ too, which change the light, climate, sound and even the seat functions to change the interior ambience, like when you want to chill, or focus, or drive the Cayenne Electric on its door handles.
Speaking of seat functions, the Cayenne Electric’s rears are electrically adjustable as standard, while we’re told the whole car offers “significantly more space and comfort features”. Said comfort features extend to heating not just the very air you breathe, but contact patches like door panels and armrests.
Above you rests a sliding pano roof that’s another first: it is the largest glass sunroof ever fitted inside a Porsche road car, able to change from clear to matte via liquid crystal film.
We’ll see the finished product before the year is out.
