Cayenne Turbo Electric 2026

With the Cayenne Turbo Electric, the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer is finally entering the age of fully electric SUVs. Back in 2002, the Cayenne was the model with which Porsche conquered the luxury off-road vehicle segment. With the fourth generation, a pure battery-powered vehicle is now available for the first time. Two variants will be launched in spring 2026: the Cayenne Electric and the top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Electric. Both feature all-wheel drive with one permanently excited synchronous motor per axle. The electric Cayennes are longer and wider than the previous models, yet still offer the characteristic silhouette with a low bonnet, curved roofline and striking fenders.Supercar-level performance and driving dynamicsIn the Turbo version, the E-Cayenne delivers a system output of up to 850 kW (1,156 hp) when the start or ‘push-to-pass’ function is activated. In normal operation, 630 kW (857 hp) is available; an additional boost of 130 kW (176 hp) can be called up for ten seconds at the touch of a button. The maximum torque is 1,500 Nm. With this power, the SUV, which weighs just under 2.72 tonnes, sprints to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. The top speed is 260 km/h. The standard Cayenne Electric achieves 300 kW (408 hp) in normal driving mode and 325 kW (442 hp) with the aid of Launch Control. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km/h. Both versions feature electronic Porsche Traction Management (ePTM), which regulates the power distribution between the front and rear axles in milliseconds.
