Porsche fans have been waiting for the brand’s electric SUV, and it’s finally taking shape. The upcoming electric Cayenne is expected to debut in 2026, followed by the sportier Cayenne Coupe six to twelve months later.

Although official specs are still under wraps, the EV is set to be based on the same platform as the upcoming Macan EV, sitting just below the mysterious K1 electric flagship Porsche teased for later this decade. The Cayenne EV aims to keep Porsche's mix of sharp handling and family comfort, now with a zero emissions twist.

Design wise, the electric SUV is expected to stay close to its gasoline counterpart. That means drivers can expect familiar styling but with an all new drivetrain under the hood. With the gas powered Cayenne lineup eventually being phased out, this EV will become Porsche’s new standard bearer in the midsize SUV segment.

While the front half of the Cayenne Coupe stays nearly identical to the standard SUV, the back tells a different story. Spy shots reveal a sloping roofline, smaller rear doors, and a compact rear side window that give the coupe a more athletic stance.

This visual twist delivers a sportier vibe that Porsche fans love, and the coupe’s debut is expected a few months after the main SUV model hits the streets. Though still unconfirmed, both body styles will eventually go fully electric, offering buyers more choices without losing Porsche DNA.

The coupe’s sharper silhouette could attract performance focused buyers looking for style without sacrificing utility. As with previous generations, the coupe and SUV will share powertrain options and features, though pricing and trim levels for the electric versions remain unannounced.

Yes, and it looks outrageous. A heavily camouflaged prototype was caught testing at the Nürburgring, hinting at the arrival of the new Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT. Right now, the gas version packs a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with 650 hp, but it’s actually outgunned by the Turbo E Hybrid Coupe with 729 hp.

The next step? Full electric, full power. According to Porsche insiders, the most extreme electric Cayenne Coupe is expected to deliver over 1,000 hp using dual motors and a 108 kWh battery. 0 to 100 kmh? Under 3 seconds. That would make it one of the fastest SUVs ever built, and definitely Porsche’s boldest EV yet.

Design updates include a more aggressive front fascia, wider vents, and a reworked rear spoiler. Launch is rumored for 2027, and it could be the most radical interpretation of Porsche performance in an SUV format.
