Revealed: Cayenne EV curved display screen, interior, PCM, infotainment

[snstevens]

Ugh -- Porsche is really misreading the market in my opinion; I would like to see less screens and more timeless design with physical buttons, like this:

I want to see a beautiful interior with taste and minimalism -- not the latest tech trinket the engineers enjoy (e.g. a curved screen or youtube integration etc).

For the Taycan too, it would have been much nicer to remove the bottom center screen completely and add a row of climate control buttons right under the center screen. This would also free space to have two normal cup holders and a better center storage compartment.

Actually with the great Oled driver screen I would almost argue the center screen is also too much and we could control everything right on the driver screen with steering wheel controls....

So, the new Cayenne interior is a miss in my opinion -- Porsche should strive for beauty and stand out from the pack.

While I agree with the need for better storage and cupholders, I’m not at all a fan of all those physical buttons. From my perspective, you very rarely touched them and all they do is collect dust. The buttons in the Panorama that I drove as a loaner at one time just drove me nuts.

Same as Macan EV.

I believe it’s newer

The dashboard design is a complete miss in my opinion. Dashboard lines are all over the place. They needed some place for vents and just stick them on top, the arch above the instrument cluster is very strange, the mix of climate buttons but then no actual buttons for seat heating and cooling is a mixed bag. Do we really need any more screens in 2025 ? Finally, the sport chrono clock is somewhere in between all this mess and barely visible. I also don't like the middle tunnel design with a large hole/space where the cup holders are. Yes you can cover it but it will quickly become a waste collector in our cars. I am really disappointed.
In comparison the Taycan dashboard - with al its flaws - is a clean layout with arguably the wrong choice for the climate panel, and especially cup holders and the hatch of the middle tunnel are a practical nightmare.

I agree, besides the whole thing looks chunky, like what could have been the concept for the GMC Sierra interior … I’m not feeling this design language.

I think that there are a fair number of Taycan owners who consider or actually buy Macan EVs (and the forthcoming Cayenne EV, as well as E-hybrids).

For the life of me, i cannot understand why ?
A Macan EV is such a ginormous step back in terms of ride comfort and chassis dynamics. It is a cheaper car, but other than the badge, it is not in the same league.

I am not sure people realize how much they forego when they opt for SUVs, but Taycan owners should know.

Well, they are built on an Audi made platform. So yes, it is just a badge.

But 99% of people only care about the badge.

On the Macan EV you can only feel some porsche tunning on the Turbo.
Would expect the Cayenne EV to be much the same, as that’s the only trim level Porsche has shown to the media and let media drive
