Porsche AG unveiled a revamped Cayenne sport utility vehicle at the Shanghai auto show to keep its best-selling model fresh before a more comprehensive shift to electric cars.

The new Cayenne, which starts at €89,097 ($99,419), got more powerful engines, an updated chassis and a new interior with displays for both the driver and front passenger. The vehicle, also available as a plug-in hybrid, will compete with increasingly luxurious battery models from Chinese automakers as parent Volkswagen AG tries to regain momentum for its EV push.
