by New Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric: Impressive Power
The Porsche Cayenne Coupe has never been ideal on paper. It is a sportier, less practical version of an SUV, designed to add enormous practicality to a sports brand. Now Porsche is adding another powertrain, as buyers want to have a choice.
After about 40% of US buyers chose the less practical Coupe body style for the Cayenne in 2025, a completely new, fully electric version is now available, which, by the way, boasts up to 1,139 horsepower (850 kW).
Design and Platform
We have known this was coming for a long time. Porsche has already released the electric Cayenne SUV. This is the Coupe version with a roofline “inspired by the 911.” It also has a unique roof construction and Coupe-specific windshield, giving it a sleeker profile than the SUV.
Under the sheet metal and tight rear seat, you will find the same foundation as the regular electric Cayenne. This includes an 800-volt architecture, a 113 kWh battery, and the ability to use a 400 kW charger to charge from 10% to 80% in less than 16 minutes.
Power Options and Performance
The base model starts with 435 hp (325 kW) and 615 lb-ft of torque, which already seems excessive for a daily driver SUV. Move up to the Cayenne S Coupe Electric, and you get 657 hp (490 kW). But the real headliner is the Turbo Coupe Electric: up to 1,139 hp (850 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, with a claimed 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of just 2.4 seconds. This matches the fastest 911 sold today, the 911 Turbo S.
Top speed varies by model: from 143 mph (230 km/h) in the base version to 162 mph (261 km/h) in the Turbo version.
This is not just fast. This is supercar territory for something that can tow 7,716 pounds (3,500 kg). Adaptive air suspension, optional rear-axle steering, torque vectoring, and Porsche’s signature Active Ride system are also present. Buyers can also opt for the Off-Road Package, which improves approach angles.
Equipment and Pricing
The Sport Chrono package and panoramic glass roof are standard for the Coupe. Charging equipment includes a NACS port on the driver’s side rear wing and a J1772 AC port on the passenger side, with a CCS adapter included as standard equipment.
Prices start at $113,800 and go up to $168,000 for the Turbo version, with deliveries expected by the end of summer 2026.
Importantly, Porsche is not replacing the gasoline Cayenne. Or even the plug-in hybrid. They all remain. This is a key point as it clarifies the brand’s position. Customers can choose any type of powertrain they want for the foreseeable future.

Thus, Porsche is not just releasing another electric vehicle, but offering a genuine spectrum of possibilities: from a relatively “moderate” base option to a true performance monster in the Turbo version. Keeping the gasoline and hybrid versions indicates the company’s pragmatic approach, which is in no rush to completely abandon internal combustion engines, giving customers the freedom of choice. This is especially important in a market where electric vehicle infrastructure is still developing, and buyers value both performance and versatility. The arrival of such a powerful electric version, which rivals supercars while retaining SUV practicality, could significantly change perceptions of what a premium electric SUV can be.
