Porsche has unveiled the interior of the incoming Cayenne EV, featuring the largest array of screens yet fitted to any of its models.
The cabin is centred around a prominent infotainment touchscreen dubbed the Flow Display. It is angled into two distinct segments: the larger portion is used for more complex functions such as displaying maps and activating the new driving ‘mood modes’; and the narrower segment houses key functions for media, calls, heated seats and screen navigation.
Physical buttons can be found below the Flow Display and on the steering wheel. They control the most used features such as audio and climate.
The central display is flanked by a 14.25in curved instrument panel and a 14.9in infotainment touchscreen for passengers. The latter, as in the Macan, can be used to watch films and play video games. It also has a separate Bluetooth audio connection from the car’s main media output.
The passenger screen will be an optional extra on entry-level Cayennes and standard on higher trims. In cars that forego the screen, it is replaced with leather or cloth trim that matches the interior upholstery.
Porsche's high-tech approach for the new Cayenne is continues under the skin: the company said the luxury SUV will have power outputs nudging 1000bhp yet also ranges of around 373 miles, thanks to a large 108kWh battery pack.
It will be rechargeable at up to 400kW, allowing a 10-80% refill in roughly 15 minutes; but an innovative inductive charging system will also be offered to allow drivers to refill their batteries at home, without using a charging cable.

Don't worry, soon we'll be just passengers sitting not talking to each other in the car or heaven forbid doing an over night drive to the Costa del sol asleep in our seats, think stuff like this is killing of the enjoyment of travel in general anyway.
Is it only Rolls Royce that understand that a premium dash board needs classy buttons and knobs? Touchscreens are vulgar, distracting, dangerous and often very unreliable too.
