BEIJING: At Auto China 2026, the new Porsche Cayenne Coupé Electric celebrated its world premiere.
Auto China 2026 takes place from April 24 to May 3 at the China International Exhibition Centre (Shunyi Hall) and the Capital International Exhibition Centre of China (CIECC) in Beijing.
At market launch, there will be a choice of three drive variants, with up to 850kW (1,156PS) on offer.
- Cayenne Coupé Electric producing 300kW (408PS), overboost power with Launch Control 325kW (442PS), 0 – 100kph in 4.8 seconds, top speed 230kph.
- Cayenne S Coupé Electric producing 400kW (544PS), overboost power with Launch Control 490kW (666PS), 0 – 100kph in 3.8 seconds, top speed 250kph.
- Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric producing 630kW (857PS), overboost power with Launch Control 850kW (1,156PS), 0 – 100kph in 2.5 seconds, top speed 260kph.
The coupé shape with its sloping roofline helps to reduce drag.
The new model’s cd value is 0.23 (SUV: 0.25). This increases the combined WLTP range of the Cayenne Coupé Electric by up to 18km to up to 669km, depending on the model, compared to the SUV.
The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system includes features such as moving cooling air flaps and an adaptive rear spoiler.
The Coupé features adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard.
For the Cayenne S Coupé Electric and Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric, the Porsche Active Ride active suspension system is optionally available.
Rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to five degrees can be added to all models.
Thanks to 800-volt technology, the Cayenne Coupé Electric charges at up to 390kW using a DC fast charger and, under specific conditions, even at up to 400kW.
AC charging speeds of up to 11kW are available with the car's standard on-board charger.
One with up to 22kW is available as an optional extra.
The new Cayenne Coupé models combine commanding presence with the iconic roofline of the 911 – known as the ‘flyline’ within Porsche.
The coupé models are different from the A-pillar back, while the windscreen has also been designed specifically for the Coupé.
"The gently sloping roofline sweeps elegantly over the car’s broad shoulders and gives the Cayenne Coupé a particularly sporty appearance," says Style Porsche head of exterior design Thomas Stopka.
"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 Stopka.
At 4,985mm long and 1,980mm wide (excluding mirrors), the all-electric Cayenne Coupé is the same length and width as the SUV model.
However, the highest point of the car is 24mm lower, at 1,650mm.
Despite its sporting lines, the coupé offers a high level of practicality, with a load volume of 534 to 1,347 litres and a front luggage compartment that holds an additional 90 litres.
The rear seating – available in either a two-seat or 2+1 layout – is electrically adjustable in two ways.
The Cayenne Coupé Electric adopts the Porsche Driver Experience of the SUV and so offers a digital and driver-oriented operating concept.
With its panoramic glass roof – optionally with Variable Light Control, an electrically switchable liquid crystal film – and its Sport Chrono Package, the standard equipment of the Cayenne Cou-pé Electric is even more extensive than that of the SUV.
A Coupé-specific Lightweight Sport package is also available as an option.
Depending on the model, it reduces the car’s weight by up to 17.6kg.
The package includes a lightweight carbon roof, sporty carbon inserts, package-specific 22-inch wheels and high-performance tyres.
Inside, sporty elements feature heavily, such as the 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 com-bined with black leather upholstery and a 2+1 rear seat system.
