This design suggests that Porsche intends to offer both traditional SUV and coupe-like body styles for the electric Cayenne.
Built on the 800-volt Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture—also utilized by the Macan EV—the Cayenne EV is expected to deliver high performance and efficiency. The PPE platform supports advanced features such as rapid charging capabilities and enhanced driving dynamics.
Despite a 37% decline in Taycan sales in the U.S. in 2024, Porsche is committed to expanding its electric offerings. The Macan EV is already on sale, and an electric 718 sports car is anticipated to debut soon. The Cayenne EV is projected to arrive in 2026, with U.S. availability potentially in 2027. Porsche plans to continue offering hybrid and internal combustion engine versions of the Cayenne into the 2030s, reaffirming its commitment to diverse powertrain options.
Porsche is set to launch an electric version of the Cayenne Coupe in 2027, available in both SUV and Coupe body styles, with a focus on high performance and design capabilities.
Like the regular future Cayenne, the new Cayenne Coupe will be built on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform with an 800-volt architecture, which is also used by the new Macan. The most powerful modification of the model is expected to receive an electric installation with a capacity of about 1000 hp, and the power reserve on one charge can exceed 600 km according to the WLTP cycle. For comparison, the top modification of the current Cayenne with the Turbo E-Hybrid prefix has 739 hp and 950 Nm of torque.
Porsche’s use of digital testing is seen as a significant advancement in vehicle development, allowing for extensive testing in simulated off-road conditions.
Porsche is developing a high-performance electric Cayenne.
The prototypes spotted at the Nurburgring showcase a new fixed rear wing and aggressive aerodynamic enhancements, including unique front elements and flared wheel arches.
The electric Cayenne is confirmed to produce at least 1,000 horsepower in its flagship model, utilizing a 113 kWh NMC battery with 400 kW fast-charging capability, and is expected to offer a range of at least 370 miles.
The lineup will cater to various power levels, from an entry-level 400 hp to mid-range models delivering between 600 hp and 700 hp.
