- Cayenne Coupe Electric has unique styling from A-pillar back.
- More slippery, longer range than Cayenne Electric SUV.
- Profile and shoulders intended to mimick iconic 911.
Porsche purists, brace yourselves: the company claims the new Coupe version of the Cayenne Electric has styling directly inspired by the iconic 911, and that this large SUV is a genuine sports car.
The Cayenne Coupe Electric is different to the standard SUV model from the A-pillar back, the gently sloping roofline and broad shoulders intended to directly reference the "flyline" of the 911.
"Precisely drawn lines, wide proportions and high-gloss black side window strips form a design that exudes sportiness in every detail. Extroverted and clearly positioned, the new Cayenne Coupé Electric is a sports car through and through," says Thomas Stopka, head of exterior design.
The coupe shape helps to reduce drag, increasing the combined WLTP range of the Coupé Electric by up to 18km for a maximum range of 669km, depending on the model. The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system includes features such as moving cooling air flaps and an adaptive rear spoiler.
At 4985mm long and 1980mm wide, the Coupé is the same length and width as the SUV. However, the highest point of the car is still 24mm lower.
The rear seating – available in either a 2-seat or 2+1 layout – is electrically adjustable in two ways. As with the SUV, a towbar, and a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, is available. An off-road package can also be optioned.
The Coupé models mirror the current three-tier lineup of SUVs in terms of drive variants and can be ordered immediately, with first arrivals in New Zealand expected in the 4th quarter of 2026. Prices start at $224,900 for the Coupé (325kW on overboost power), $249,000 for the S Coupé (490kW) and $311,900 for the Turbo Coupé (850kW).
The Coupé features adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard. For the S Coupé and Turbo Coupé, the Porsche Active Ride active suspension system can be added. Rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to five degrees can be added to any model.
With 800-volt technology, the Cayenne Coupé Electric charges at up to 390kW using a suitable DC fast charger and, under specific conditions, up to 400kW.
A Coupé-specific Lightweight Sport package is available for the new model. Depending on the model, it reduces the car’s weight by up to 17.6kg. The package includes a lightweight carbon roof, carbon inserts, package-specific 22-inch wheels and high-performance tyres.
Inside, new elements include seat centre panels trimmed in classic Pepita pattern cloth, the Race-Tex headliner and open-pore carbon surfaces. As an option, the Lightweight Sport package can also be combined with black leather upholstery and a 2+1 rear seat system.
