Porsche has unveiled its new all-electric Cayenne SUV, after saying it would rework its electric vehicle strategy.
The Cayenne Turbo Electric model can accelerate from 100 kilometres per hour in 2.5 seconds, while the standard Cayenne Electric can reach 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The electric Cayenne has up to 642 kilometres of range.
"The Cayenne Electric shows performance in a completely new dimension, with innovative technologies that we have developed in motorsport. It sets new standards in the SUV segment – in terms of driving characteristics as well as charging," said Porsche chair Oliver Blume.
"Outstanding electric performance meets very real everyday usability. Excellent long-distance comfort combines with uncompromising off-road capability.”
The standard Cayenne Electric’s top speed is 230 km/h, with 300 kilowatts of power. The Turbo Electric model’s top speed is 260 km/h, with 630 kW in normal driving use and an additional 130 kW available for 10 seconds at a time.
The Cayenne Electric vehicle family includes a 113-kilowatt-hour battery, and are Porsche’s first cars to support inductive wireless charging. The vehicles can charge from 10% to 80% in less than 16 minutes.
In Australia, Cayenne Electric deliveries will begin between July and September 2026. The standard model will be priced at A$167,800 and the Turbo Electric at $259,900, before on-road costs.
Porsche said in September that it would rework its electric vehicle plans in a bid to cut costs. Around 36% of Porsche sports cars sold globally are currently electrified, according to the company.
While Porsche had originally intended for its new SUV family above the Cayenne to be all-electric, it will instead first be offered as combustion engine and plug-in hybrid models. The Cayenne family will also be available in combustion engine and plug-in hybrid models.
Porsche has also delayed the launch of its new platform for electric vehicles, which had been planned for the 2030s.
The company left Germany’s blue-chip DAX index in September after several cuts in its outlook, with shares being down 23.7% across 2025 to date.
Porsche’s (ETR: P911) share price closed at EU€44.45, up from its previous close at €44.35. Its market capitalisation is €20.14 billion.
