At the end of March, we got our first look at the interior of the refreshed Porsche Cayenne. The midlife update for model-year 2024 was notable because Porsche has put some buttons and other physical controls back where they belong, after the all-touchscreen dalliance that is the Taycan electric car. This evening, the German automaker showed off the rest of the 2024 Cayenne and released some technical details, including what sounds like a decent upgrade to the plug-in hybrid version.

As is normally the case with a midlife update, there’s new styling for the Cayenne front end that in this case includes new headlight clusters as well as a new front bumper and hood. The taillights and rear fascia are also new, and Porsche has added three new colors, including a pair of metallic blues.

There have been some more significant changes under the skin of the Cayenne E-Hybrid, the plug-in variant that for 2024 will start at $91,700.
