Porsche has officially launched the highly anticipated, all-electric Cayenne in India, with deliveries commencing immediately. While it retains the iconic nameplate, this high-performance luxury EV is built on a brand-new architecture distinct from its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart.
The all-electric luxury SUV is offered in two distinct trims before optional extras:
Cayenne Electric: ₹1.77 crore
Cayenne Turbo Electric: ₹2.28 crore
(All prices ex-showroom India)
Both variants feature a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) layout coupled with a large 113 kWh battery pack:
| Feature / Spec | Cayenne Electric | Cayenne Turbo Electric |
|---|---|---|
| Peak Power | Up to 442 PS (with launch control) | Up to 1156 PS (with launch control) |
| Peak Torque | Up to 835 Nm | Up to 1500 Nm |
| 0-100 kmph | 4.8 seconds | 2.5 seconds |
| Top Speed | 230 kmph | 260 kmph |
| WLTP Range | 642 km | 623 km |
The Cayenne Electric uses an 800-volt electrical architecture and supports DC fast charging of up to 400kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in around 16 minutes under suitable conditions. It is also the first production car to offer an optional 11 kW inductive wireless charging system.
Both versions get adaptive air suspension and rear-axle steering with up to five degrees of steering angle. The SUV also offers a 90-litre front storage compartment and up to 781 litres of rear boot space, which can increase to 1,588 litres with the rear seats folded.
Inside, the cabin introduces a triple-display layout:
14.25-inch curved digital instrument cluster
Central OLED touchscreen infotainment system
Optional 14.9-inch front passenger display
Additional cabin highlights include an AR head-up display, four-zone climate control, 18-way power seats with massage/ventilation, a panoramic glass roof, and an optional 21-speaker, 1470W Burmester 3D sound system.
For practicality, it offers 781 litres of rear boot space (expandable to 1,588 litres) plus a 90-litre front trunk ('frunk') for charging accessories.
The EV boasts a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating and is equipped with a full suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Dynamic enhancements include four-corner adaptive air suspension and optional rear-axle steering up to 5 degrees.
The Porsche Cayenne Electric will rival models such as the Lotus Eletre, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV and upcoming Range Rover Electric.
