Porsche Cayenne electric coupe surfaces

Porsche has unveiled the 2026 Cayenne Coupé Electric, a sloping-roof version of its new battery-powered Cayenne SUV, at Auto China 2026 in Beijing. (newsroom.porsche.com 1) (newsroom.porsche.com 2) The new model went public on April 24 and launches with three trims: Cayenne Coupé Electric, Cayenne S Coupé Electric, and Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric. Porsche said the Coupé’s roofline is different from the A-pillar back and uses a specific windshield. (newsroom.porsche.com) Porsche said the lower roof cuts drag to 0.23 from 0.25 for the standard Cayenne Electric SUV, lifting combined WLTP range by as much as 18 kilometers to 669 kilometers. The body is 24 millimeters lower than the SUV but keeps the same 4,985-millimeter length and 1,980-millimeter width. (newsroom.porsche.com) Performance is the headline number. MotorTrend reported the base model at 435 horsepower, the S at 657 horsepower, and the Turbo at 1,139 horsepower, with Porsche-claimed 0-60 mph times of 4.5, 3.6, and 2.4 seconds. (motortrend.com) Charging is part of the pitch too. MotorTrend said the Coupé uses an 800-volt system, a 113-kWh battery pack, a North American Charging Standard fast-charge port, and peak DC charging up to 400 kilowatts, with a claimed 10% to 80% stop in less than 16 minutes. (motortrend.com) The Coupé does not replace the regular Cayenne Electric. Edmunds said Porsche now has six electric Cayenne variants across SUV and Coupé bodies, each with dual-motor all-wheel drive, while gas and plug-in hybrid Cayenne Coupé models remain on sale. (edmunds.com) (newsroom.porsche.com) That lineup expansion lands as Porsche leans harder into a mixed powertrain strategy. In its U.S. sales release for 2025, Porsche said the Cayenne Electric would join existing gas and hybrid models, and the company reported 20,314 Cayenne deliveries in the United States last year. (newsroom.porsche.com) Pricing is beginning to surface outside the United States. CAR magazine reported UK prices starting at £86,200 for the base Coupé Electric, £103,100 for the S, and £133,300 for the Turbo, with sales beginning in summer 2026 and deliveries later in the year. (carmagazine.co.uk) The practical tradeoff is smaller cargo space, not a different mission. Porsche lists 534 liters of rear load volume, 1,347 liters with the rear seats folded, and a 90-liter front trunk, while retaining an optional towbar with up to 3.5 tonnes of towing capacity. (newsroom.porsche.com) The reveal answers a question that had been hanging over Porsche’s biggest sport-utility vehicle since the electric Cayenne debuted in November 2025: whether the company would give its battery model the same Coupé treatment as the gas version. On April 24, it did. (newsroom.porsche.com 1) (newsroom.porsche.com 2)
