Porsche is adding an all-electric Cayenne Coupé to its lineup

Porsche will begin selling the all-electric Cayenne Coupe in late summer, the latest sign from the German automaker that it still sees market demand for electric vehicles.

The Cayenne EV Coupé – which has four doors, unlike a traditional coupe – will join several all-electric versions of the SUV when it hits the market later this year, including the base Cayenne Electric, Cayenne S Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric. After all, Porsche loves its variants.

It could be the most successful. When Porsche introduced a coupe version of the gas-powered Cayenne in 2019, it only took a year for the sportier version of the crossover SUV to capture 20% of sales within the Cayenne lineup. Five years later, the coupe represents 40% of Cayenne sales, according to Porsche. In some markets, coupes account for up to 90%.

In other words, the numbers suggest that the all-electric Cayenne Coupe is a worthy bet even with its six-figure price tag.

The Cayenne Electric Coupe (as it is officially branded) will not replace its gas or hybrid siblings, unlike the Cayenne Electric Coupe. Porsche Macan The compact SUV, which will only be sold as an electric vehicle after this year.

The company says the Cayenne Coupe EV will be sold alongside other petrol variants after 2030, according to a Porsche spokesperson. This could yield some valuable data for Porsche about which flavor of Cayenne Coupe consumers actually want to buy – and whether that electric variant is the most popular. (The extra front trunk space alone could sway some buyers, not to mention fuel prices.)

None of these questions can be answered, however, until the Cayenne Electric, Cayenne S Electric, Cayenne Turbo Electric and Cayenne Coupe Electric go on sale globally later this year – about nine months after the electric car version was first revealed.

When the Cayenne EV Coupe goes on sale, it will be offered in three variants: the base version, the S Coupe, and the Turbo Coupe. (If you think that’s a lot, check out how many versions of the flagship Porsche Taycan EV exist.)

Pricing for the Cayenne Coupe Electric starts at $113,800, not including the $2,350 delivery fee. Prices rise from there with the Cayenne S Coupe Electric at $131,200 and the Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric at $168,000. Consumers can, of course, spend more by adding options like the Lightweight Sport Package, which includes a carbon roof, high-performance tires, and motorsport-inspired interior features.

For that amount of money, consumers will get plenty of horsepower and torque inside a crossover body with a sloping roofline reminiscent of the iconic 911. All EV coupe variants come with an 800-volt motor, air suspension, and a combined roof design featuring a new windshield and adaptive rear spoiler. The Cayenne Coupe EV is also equipped with the North American Standard Charging Port, or NACS, popularized by Tesla, as well as an auxiliary AC charging port.

From here, some specifications change depending on the version the consumer purchases. The electric coupe generates up to 435 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque, with a top speed of 143 mph and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds.

For those who are not satisfied, there are two more powerful options that push the performance specifications to a much higher level. At the top end, the turbo version generates up to 1,139 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque – putting it on par with the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. The turbo version has a top speed of 162 mph and can travel from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

Porsche has not released EPA estimates for the range these electric coupes will provide on a single charge. But early real-world testing is in line with other electric Cayenne variants, which is around 360 miles. Of course, if EV coupe buyers opt for those larger tires — which create more rolling resistance, and require the battery to work harder — range could drop by about 10%.
