All There is to Know About the All-New 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV
June 16 2025,
Summary
The 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV ‒with a base price soon to be revealed and possibly available in three trims‒ marks a turning point for the German manufacturer. Following the gasoline Cayenne, along with the hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, the luxury midsize SUV is now moving towards electrification.
2026 Porsche Cayenne EV: Price and Trims
Although we know that the 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV will eventually come to replace the entire range of gasoline Cayenne models, we are not exactly sure if the current versions will be carried forward.
However, it is very likely that there will be an entry-level trim as well as a 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV S, with a base price to be confirmed.
We can also expect a GTS trim for the 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV. Early estimates from the United States suggest that the starting prices will vary as follows:
- 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV; starting at $115,000
- 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV S; starting at $140,000
- 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV GTS; starting at $170,000
Please note that these are only estimates. Official prices will be released when the electric luxury vehicle is launched.
2026 Porsche Cayenne EV: Interior and Exterior Design
The first concept photos reveal a sloping roofline that hints at a coupe body style, which is already typical of the existing Cayenne.
There is also the possibility of a standard body option. Images display rectangular LED headlights positioned high on the front shield. Front bumpers also reveal large air intakes.
Similarly, the taillights adopt a linear shape and are positioned in a continuous light strip across the full width of the vehicle, adding character and panache.
Finally, the camouflage photos suggest that the electric vehicle's exterior design will closely resemble that of the current model, though enhanced with new aerodynamic touches.
Images of the Porsche Cayenne EV interior do not reveal much, but one thing is certain: it is expected to be as spacious as the gasoline-powered Porsche Cayenne.
2026 Porsche Cayenne EV: Dimensions
Official dimensions for the Porsche Cayenne EV have yet to be revealed, but they are likely to be similar to those of the current Cayenne coupe:
- Wheelbase: 2,895 mm
- Length: 4,930 mm
- Width: 1,983 mm
- Height: 1,678 mm
2026 Porsche Cayenne EV: Technical Specifications
What we know so far indicates that the technical specifications for the Porsche Cayenne EV will be impressive.
Engine and Power
It is already known that the new Cayenne EV will be based on an elongated derivative of the 800-volt PPE platform, which was introduced with the Porsche Macan, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Audi A6 e-tron.
Although we do not yet have the official specifications for the luxury midsize electric SUV, it is logical to assume that the figures will be as impressive as those we have grown accustomed to from the German manufacturer.
This suggests that the 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV S should produce over 750 horsepower; some even hint at nearly 800 horsepower. With these levels of power, the electric Porsche will be able to pulverize 0 to 100 km/h accelerations in under 3 seconds!
Towing and Cargo Capacity
The current towing capacities for the existing Cayenne are 7,700 lb. for the gasoline model and 6,000 lb. for the hybrid models. Official figures for the EV are yet to be confirmed.
Cargo space is similarly variable, currently extending up to 1,708 litres for the SUV and 1,502 litres for the coupe.
Range and Charging Time
Thanks to the 800-volt PPE platform, range for the 2026 Porsche Cayenne EV is expected to exceed 600 km.
