by Chris Chilton<\/a><\/p>\n 60 minutes ago<\/p>\n Porsche is testing a facelifted version of the range-topping Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid.<\/p>\n Exterior tweaks are hard to spot, but cabin updates likely to prove more significant.<\/p>\n Current Turbo E-Hybrid packs 729 hp, but could add more since EV has 1,140 hp.<\/p>\n If Porsche was hoping to keep attention focused on its brand-new electric Cayenne, these latest spy shots might complicate things. Our photographers have just caught another prototype of the facelifted combustion-powered Cayenne testing, and it\u2019s the hot one.<\/p>\n Last month, we brought you what looked to be the updated Cayenne GTS<\/a>, distinguished by its four round tailpipes. This latest prototype appears to be the range-topping Turbo E-Hybrid, identifiable by its signature quartet of square exhaust finishers.<\/p>\n Related: The 911 GT3 RS Already Looks Like A Race Car, Porsche Is Making It Even More Like One<\/a><\/p>\n As with the earlier prototype, this one\u2019s wearing only light camouflage, meaning a launch must be close and soon enough for this to be a MY27 car. Unfortunately for anyone hoping for a dramatic redesign, Porsche<\/a> seems determined to stick with subtlety.<\/p>\n The front end carries the same LED lights as before, but this car only has individual center grille bars, whereas the current Turbo E-Hybrid\u2019s grille has pairs of bars. At the back, those pairs of square exhaust finishers sandwich a lower bumper section that\u2019s designed to look like a mini diffuser.<\/p>\n So it looks like not much has changed, but the most significant updates may not be visible from the outside at all. We recently spotted a facelifted Panamera prototype<\/a> with its center console heavily concealed, leading to speculation that Porsche could be replacing the sedan\u2019s physical climate control toggles with a touchscreen interface.<\/p>\n A More Digital Experience<\/p>\n
And if that happens, the combustion Cayenne would almost certainly get the same treatment, which would also bring it closer to the new Cayenne Electric<\/a>. The EV launched last year with a more digital-heavy dashboard that makes the ICE Cayenne look a little old-fashioned.<\/p>\n Under the hood of the current Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is an electrically-assisted twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that makes 729 hp (739 PS), along with 700 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. Porsche hasn\u2019t revealed what\u2019s planned for the facelifted version, but a modest bump would help close the gap on the 1,140 hp (1,156 PS \/ 850 kW) Cayenne<\/a> Turbo Electric.<\/p>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cayenne-lead-2-Jun15262121-copy-1024x576.jpg\")
