Porsche’s mid-size Cayenne moves to a dedicated EV architecture with strong performance, roomy interior, 800-volt charging, and a wide spread of power and range that spans family-duty to hypercar-level acceleration.
Trim range covers 435 hp (base) to 1139 hp (Turbo), with the Turbo achieving 0–60 mph in 2.1 seconds.
Towing capacity is strong for the segment at 7716 pounds.
Interior offers ample space, a large curved OLED touchscreen, and the option of a sleeker Coupe model that trades some cargo/headroom for styling.
# Overview The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric and the Cayenne Coupe Electric replace the gas Cayenne with an all-new electric mid-size luxury SUV. Porsche positions these models to combine everyday functionality—passenger space and towing—with high-end performance and modern EV charging technology.
# What you get by trim Porsche offers three main power levels, all with dual motors and all-wheel drive: a base model rated at 435 horsepower, an S at 657 horsepower, and a Turbo that produces 1139 horsepower. The Turbo's performance is exceptional: Car and Driver recorded a 0–60-mph time of 2.1 seconds for that model. Claimed 0–60 times for the lower trims are 4.5 seconds (base) and 3.6 seconds (S).
# Battery, range, and charging Electric uses a 108-kWh battery and an 800-volt electrical architecture. Peak DC charging capability reaches 400 kW. Official EPA range ratings fall between about 298 miles (Turbo) and as high as 339 miles (base Coupe with 20-inch wheels). The Cayenne Electric is the first Porsche to ship standard with a NACS charging port, enabling access to a wide DC fast-charging network.

# Pricing and buying guidance MSRP range starts around $111,350 and extends up to about $170,350 for higher-spec models. The Turbo's extreme performance comes at the top end of that pricing spectrum. Choose the Turbo if you want maximum straight-line acceleration and the most advanced drivetrain hardware. Pick the base or S trims if you prioritize range, daily usability, and lower cost, or consider the Coupe if you prefer exterior style over some interior volume.
# Where it sits in the market Car and Driver ranks the Cayenne Electric highly among mid-size luxury EV SUVs for combining traditional Cayenne attributes—space and versatility—with Porsche-like driving dynamics and top-tier performance in the Turbo. It competes against other premium EV SUVs that emphasize range, towing, or luxury features, but the Cayenne's performance and towing capability are differentiators.
# Bottom line Porsche's mid-size SUV with a broad and credible set of choices: family-friendly range and towing for daily duty, plus a Turbo that delivers supercar-level acceleration. The tradeoffs are price and the optional nature of some ride-control hardware that influences comfort and handling.
