Crayon is the pale, almost chalky grey Porsche has kept in its range for years, and on something the size of a Cayenne it plays the bulk down rather than up. Against it sit the Platinum Edition's gloss black SportDesign package and 21-inch wheels.

Under that is the plug-in hybrid drivetrain shared across the E-Hybrid range: 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and electric motor, 462 horsepower and 700 Nm together, eight-speed Tiptronic S and permanent all-wheel drive. 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.0 seconds, top speed is 253 km/h, and around town it runs on the battery alone.
