Porsche to launch Cayenne Coupe Electric with 850 kW output in late summer

Porsche will add an all-electric Cayenne Coupé to its lineup in late summer, with the top Turbo version listed at up to 850 kW, or 1,156 PS, of overboost power. The sloping-roof SUV will make its world premiere at Auto China 2026 in Beijing and reach U.S. dealers later in the season, extending Porsche’s EV push beyond the standard Cayenne Electric.

At launch, Porsche says the Cayenne Coupé Electric will come in three drive variants. The body shape is not just a styling exercise: Porsche says the coupé’s drag coefficient is 0.23, better than the 0.25 figure for the SUV, and that change can add as much as 18 km of range. Depending on the model, Porsche says the WLTP range will reach up to 669 km. The new model measures 4,985 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,650 mm tall, making it 24 mm lower than the SUV version.

Practicality remains part of the pitch. The Cayenne Coupé Electric will offer 534 to 1,347 liters of cargo space, plus a 90-liter front luggage compartment, and Porsche says it can tow up to 3.5 tonnes. Buyers will also be able to spec an optional Lightweight Sport package and an off-road package, a sign that Porsche wants the electric version to preserve the versatility that helped make the Cayenne one of the company’s most important models.

The charging hardware is equally aggressive. Porsche says the electric Cayenne uses an 800-volt architecture with a 113-kWh battery and can recharge from 10% to 80% in as little as 16 minutes on a 400-kW DC fast charger. In launch-control mode, the Cayenne Turbo Electric can produce up to 1,139 horsepower, making it Porsche’s most powerful production model to date.

The strategy behind the new coupé is as important as the specifications. Porsche introduced the original Cayenne in 2002, and the brand is now selling combustion-engine, plug-in hybrid and electric versions side by side rather than replacing the nameplate outright. The first all-electric Cayenne arrived in November 2025 with the Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric, and the coupé follows the same formula: keep the badge familiar, make the charging and performance numbers credible, and use premium pricing power to turn electrification into a profit engine, not just a compliance move.
