Porsche AG’s (P911.DE) new Cayenne Coupé Electric model with three drive variants celebrated its world premiere at Auto China 2026 in Beijing today. They can be ordered immediately. The Chinese market has been challenging for Porsche lately as customers are turning to less expensive and innovative EVs from Chinese makers.*
“The gently sloping roofline sweeps elegantly over the car’s broad shoulders and gives the Cayenne Coupé a particularly sporty appearance,” said Thomas Stopka, Head of Exterior Design, Style Porsche. “The adaptive rear spoiler blends harmoniously into the body, while the way the rear window is embedded and flush-mounted with fewer joints ensures a clean, modern look.

“Precisely drawn lines, wide proportions and high-gloss black side window strips form a design that exudes sportiness in every detail. Extroverted and clearly positioned, the new Cayenne Coupé Electric is a sports car through and through,” said Stopka.**
The coupé shape with its sloping roofline is said to reduce drag. The new model’s Cd is 0.23 (SUV: 0.25). This increases the combined WLTP range of the Cayenne Coupé Electric by up to 18 kilometers to up to 669 km, depending on the model, compared to the SUV. The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system includes features such as moving cooling air flaps and an adaptive rear spoiler. [footnote 3]
Dimensions
At 4985 millimeters long and 1980 mm wide (excluding mirrors), the all-electric Cayenne Coupe is the same length and width as the SUV model. However, the highest point of the car is 24 mm lower, at ,650 mm. The coupe is said to offer a high level of practicality, with a load volume of 5341 to 1347 liters and a front luggage compartment that holds an additional 90 [footnote l]. The rear seating, available in either a two-seat or 2+1 layout, is electrically adjustable in two ways. As with the SUV, a towbar, and a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons, is available. An off-road package is also available for the Coupé.
Three EV Models at Launch
The Cayenne Electric Coupé models mirror the current three-tier lineup of Porsche SUV models in terms of drive variants and can be ordered immediately:
- Cayenne Coupé Electric producing 300 kW (408 PS), over-boost power with Launch Control 325 kW (442 PS), 0 – 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, top speed 230 km/h, price in Germany from €109,000. [footnote 2]
- Cayenne S Coupé Electric producing 400 kW (544 PS), over-boost power with Launch Control 490 kW (666 PS), 0 – 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, top speed 250 km/h, price in Germany from €130,300. [2]
- Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric producing 630 kW (857 PS), over-boost power with Launch Control 850 kW (1,156 PS), 0 – 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, top speed 260 km/h, price in Germany from €168,500. [2]
The lineup of suspension systems corresponds to that of the SUV models. The Coupé features adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard. For the Cayenne S Coupé Electric and Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric, the Porsche Active Ride active suspension system is optionally available. Rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to five degrees can be added to all models.
With 800-volt technology, the Cayenne Coupé Electric charges at up to 390 kW using a suitable DC fast charger and, under specific conditions, even at up to 400 kW [footnote 3]. AC charging speeds of up to 11 kW are available with the car’s standard on-board charger. One with up to 22kW is available as an option.
Standard equipment and Optional Lightweight Sport Trim
The Cayenne Coupé Electric adopts the Porsche Driver Experience of the SUV with a digital and driver-oriented operating concept. This is characterized by a generous display area including a fully digital instrument cluster, the central Flow Display, as well as a passenger display and an AR head-up display as an option. Digital and analogue controls complement each other and their ergonomically optimized for ease of access. With Porsche Digital Interaction, the focus is on individualization and intuitive operation. Personalizable widgets, customizable display themes and the integration of third-party apps ensure a connected and individually configurable user experience.
With its panoramic glass roof – optionally with Variable Light Control, an electrically switchable liquid crystal film – and its Sport Chrono Package, the standard equipment of the Cayenne Coupé Electric is more extensive than that of the SUV. A Coupé-specific Lightweight Sport package is also available as an option. Depending on the model, it reduces the car’s weight by up to 17.6 kg. The package includes a lightweight carbon roof, sporty carbon inserts, package-specific 22-inch wheels and high-performance tires. Inside, sporty elements feature heavily, such as the seat center panels trimmed in classic Pepita pattern cloth, the Race-Tex headliner and open-pore carbon surfaces. As an option, the Lightweight Sport package can also be combined with black leather upholstery and a 2+1 rear seat system.
