Porsche Cayenne Electric: 2026–Present Guide
The Porsche Cayenne Electric is the first fully electric Cayenne, sold in the US from the 2026 model year. It rides on Porsche’s 800-volt PPE platform, makes 402 to 1,139 hp depending on the version and is rated at roughly 300 to 339 miles of range. It’s sold alongside the gas and plug-in hybrid Cayenne rather than replacing it. Here’s what each version offers, how it rates for safety and which one to buy.

What Makes the Cayenne Electric Different
The Cayenne Electric shares its PPE platform with the electric Macan, but it’s a much bigger, more powerful vehicle. Every version has two motors and all-wheel drive, an 800-volt system and a 113-kWh battery, and Porsche builds it in Bratislava on the same line as the gas Cayenne.
Inside, the big change is the curved OLED Flow Display that sweeps down into the center console, plus a 14.25-inch digital gauge cluster. Thankfully, Porsche kept physical buttons for the climate controls and volume.
It’s also seriously quick. The Turbo makes up to 1,139 hp with launch control, which Porsche says makes it its most powerful production model ever, and Car and Driver measured 0–60 mph in 2.1 seconds. Even so, it can still tow up to 7,716 lb.

What we like
- Huge power, even in the S
- Fast 400-kW charging and around 300 miles of range
- Tows as much as the gas Cayenne
What to watch
- Expensive, and options add up quickly
- Base model feels slow next to the S and Turbo
- Less cargo room than the gas Cayenne with the seats folded

Brand new, and growing fast
Cayenne Electric Changes by Model Year
The Cayenne Electric is still new, but Porsche has already added more versions and features in its first year.
- 2025 Porsche reveals the Cayenne Electric and Turbo Electric on November 19, and US orders open.
- 2026 Production starts in Bratislava in February. The S Electric arrives in March and the Coupe Electric in April, and US deliveries begin in late summer.
- 2027 Power-operated doors, massage seats with 4D audio and 105 paint colors become available. Prices run from $109,000 to $168,000 before delivery, with deliveries from early 2027.
Our verdict: if you’re shopping now, the 2027 model adds a few nice extras for the same price, so it’s worth waiting for unless you find a good deal on a 2026.

Cayenne Electric Safety Ratings by Region

| Region | Program | Rating | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|

| Australia, New Zealand | ANCAP | Not rated | ANCAP has never rated a Porsche, because Porsche doesn’t submit its cars. |
Buying a Used Cayenne Electric
Most Cayenne Electrics on the road are still brand new, so buying one is mainly about picking the right version and options.
- Watch the options. Motor1’s test Turbo came to $213,190, and Active Ride alone is $7,790 on the Turbo. So decide what you really need before you build one.
- Pick for range. The base Coupe Electric is rated at 326 miles, or 339 with Range Setup, while the Turbo SUV is rated at 298 miles.
- Plan your charging. It can charge at up to 400 kW on an 800-volt fast charger, and it has a NACS port, a J1772 port for home charging and an optional 11-kW wireless charging pad.
- Check space. Cargo space is 19.5 to 56.1 cubic feet plus a small front trunk, which Motor1 notes is about 4 cubic feet less than the gas Cayenne with the seats folded.
Our picks
- Best overall: S Electric
- Best range: base Coupe Electric
- Fastest: Turbo Electric
Think twice
- Loading up on options you won’t use
- The Turbo if range matters most
- Skipping a home charger
