Porsche is getting ready for the next chapter and the spotlight is on the Porsche Cayenne EV. Due to arrive as a 2026 model in late 2025, this all-electric SUV will combine Porsche’s sportiness with the latest electric tech. From performance to range and design here’s everything you need to know.

A New Platform for Performance

The Porsche Cayenne EV will be based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), co-developed with Audi. This 800-volt system is designed for faster charging, lower centre of gravity and better battery placement, all of which should translate into more agile handling and a more dynamic drive. In short it won’t just be a Cayenne with electric bits – it’s an EV from the ground up.

Porsche Cayenne EV Power and Range

Numbers are still under wraps, but industry reports suggest a top-tier dual-motor setup could produce up to 1,000 horsepower and a similar amount of torque. Such figures would place the Cayenne EV squarely in supercar territory, with a 0-100 km/h time of well under three seconds. The most tantalizing rumor, however, is a potential driving range of up to 1,000 km (621 miles) on a single charge. If Porsche delivers on this highly ambitious figure, it would be a new benchmark and a massive differentiator in the luxury EV market.

Design and Interior

Spy shots show a sleeker, more aerodynamic shape than the current Cayenne. Expect a reworked front end, updated lighting signatures and smoother lines for better airflow.

Inside it will feature multiple curved digital displays, Porsche’s latest infotainment and sustainable luxury materials. To keep enthusiasts engaged Porsche may even add a custom sound profile including a simulated V8 note for those who miss the roar.

Launch and Price

The Porsche Cayenne EV will start production at Porsche’s Bratislava plant in Slovakia in late 2025. Price is still unknown but will sit above the current Cayenne, likely competing with top-tier luxury EVs from BMW, Mercedes and Tesla.
