Porsche Taiwan has officially introduced the all-new, all-electric Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Coupé Electric to the Taiwan market, marking a defining new chapter for one of the brand’s most successful model lines. The new models combine Porsche’s motorsport-derived engineering expertise with exceptional electric performance, everyday versatility and two distinctive body styles.
“For more than two decades, the Cayenne has been a cornerstone of Porsche’s success in Taiwan and has earned the enduring loyalty of our customers. The new Cayenne Electric opens the next chapter of this success story,” said Christian Nater, CEO of Porsche Taiwan. “Taiwanese customers expect exceptional performance, progressive technology and uncompromising luxury—and this new generation delivers all three. With the most powerful production Porsche models in our brand’s history, outstanding charging performance and the support of our expanding island-wide charging ecosystem, the Cayenne Electric sets a new benchmark for the luxury performance SUV segment. At the same time, our three-powertrain strategy gives customers the freedom to choose the Porsche that best suits their individual needs—fully electric, plug-in hybrid or combustion-engined.”
Porsche Formula E development driver Gabriela Jílková joined the premiere in Taipei to share her experience in testing and developing the new electric flagship. Jílková previously demonstrated the Cayenne Turbo Electric’s capabilities by accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds during a runway demonstration alongside the iconic 918 Spyder, and by showcasing its exceptional cornering agility at Shelsley Walsh—one of the oldest motorsport venues in the world—where she set a new SUV record of 31.28 seconds, improving on the previous benchmark by more than four seconds.
“Taking a full-sized SUV through a hillclimb and accelerating alongside a hypercar like the 918 Spyder shows just how exciting electric performance can be,” said Gabriela Jílková, Porsche Formula E Development Driver. “With 1,156 PS and advanced chassis technology like Porsche Active Ride, what impresses me most is how precise and agile the car feels despite its size. Coming from Formula E, I can really appreciate the importance of efficient thermal management, instant torque and precise power delivery. These are key elements in electric motorsport, and it’s exciting to see how Porsche brings that expertise into its road cars.”
The performance of a super sports car and Formula E levels of recuperation
The all-electric Cayenne family comprises three drive variants across both SUV and Coupé body styles: the Cayenne Electric, Cayenne S Electric, and Cayenne Turbo Electric – all featuring all-wheel drive and equipped with electronic Porsche Traction Management (ePTM).
The Cayenne Turbo Electric accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, from 0–200 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h. This powerful e-performance is made possible by a newly developed drive system that develops up to 1,156 PS (850 kW) and up to 1,500 Nm of torque when Launch Control is activated. The Turbo variant features direct oil cooling of the electric motor on the rear axle to ensure high continuous output and efficiency. This is an innovation from motorsport. In normal driving mode, up to 857 PS (630 kW) is available. By means of the Push-to-Pass function1, an additional 176 PS (130 kW) can be activated for 10 seconds at the press of a button. The entry-level Cayenne model has 408 PS (300 kW) in normal operation and 442 PS (325 kW) and 835 Nm of torque with Launch Control. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 230 km/h.
The Cayenne Electric also offers leading energy recovery figures, achieving Formula E levels with up to 600 kW2 of recuperative power. In everyday life, about 97 per cent of all braking operations can be handled purely by the electric motors. The mechanical friction brakes rarely need to intervene. For the Cayenne Turbo, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is also available for this case, as an option.
The Cayenne Electric owes much of its versatility to its chassis. Adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is fitted as standard across all three drive variants. The Turbo also features the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) limited-slip rear differential. All three variants can be equipped with rear-axle steering, which steers the rear wheels by up to five degrees. In addition, Porsche Active Ride is also available for the flagship model for the first time. The active suspension system, familiar from Porsche sports sedans and newly used on the Cayenne, almost completely compensates for body movements and ensures exceptional stability, dynamics and comfort.
Innovative charging convenience: fast and robust
At the heart of the all-electric Cayenne models is the newly developed 113 kWh high-voltage battery, which benefits from double-sided cooling for optimum thermal management. This results in a combined WLTP range of up to 642 km for the Cayenne Electric and up to 623 km for the Turbo (Data measured by Porsche according to procedures stipulated by EU regulations and WLTP standards. The official data published by local authorities should serve as the primary reference for actual values). Thanks to its 800-volt technology, the Cayenne charges at a DC charging capacity of up to 390 kW – and under specific conditions even up to 400 kW 5. The SoC (State of Charge) can be increased from 10 to 80 per cent in less than 16 minutes 3, and energy for a range of 325 km (Cayenne) or 315 km (Cayenne Turbo) can be added within 10 minutes 4. (Data measured by Porsche according to procedures stipulated by EU regulations and WLTP standards. The official data published by local authorities should serve as the primary reference for actual values.) Robust charging performance was a primary focus during the development of the new Cayenne.
New exterior design: progressive, aerodynamic and unmistakably Cayenne
The Cayenne Electric combines the Porsche brand’s signature proportions with a clearly developed design language. "The new Cayenne is unmistakably Porsche and unmistakably Cayenne. We've built on proven design features and preserved what makes this SUV unique. The result is a modern design concept that carries the Cayenne into the future," says Michael Mauer, Head of Style Porsche. Highlights include the low bonnet with slim Matrix LED headlights. These emphasise the width of the vehicle and combine all lighting functions into one module. The strongly contoured wings are also very typical of other Porsche designs, as is the flyline – the iconic gently sloping roofline.
The side view is characterised by frameless doors and a striking crease in the door surface. The side skirts have a distinctly three-dimensional design and are painted in Volcanic Grey Metallic and, on the Cayenne Turbo, in high-gloss black. The two-tone concept underlines the car’s sporting proportions. The model-specific wheel arch trims emphasise its off-road character. Striking details at the rear, such as the light strip with its distinctive 3D look and animated graphics, as well as the illuminated Porsche lettering, underline the modern design language. The Cayenne Turbo features numerous contrasting elements in the exclusive Turbonite colour. These include the Porsche crests, the faces of the alloy wheels and the side window trims. Delicate accents in Turbonite enhance the light strip and the Porsche lettering.
For customers with special requirements in terms of approach angle and robustness, there is the Off-Road package. Its front section with modified geometry helps to safely navigate rough dirt roads, particularly steep ascents or descents and difficult terrain.
With a drag coefficient of 0.25 for the SUV and 0.23 for the Coupé, the new Cayenne Electric ranks among the most aerodynamic SUVs in its class, offering benefits in terms of range and energy consumption. The Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) system precisely adapts the car’s aerodynamic properties to the respective driving situation and speed and, alongside an efficient control strategy, also contributes to the driving dynamics expected of the brand with extra downforce. The active aerodynamic elements include movable cooling air flaps in the nose, an adaptive roof spoiler and the innovative, active aeroblades at the rear of the Turbo. They extend the lateral tear-off edges and improve the flow characteristics, which leads to an increase in range, especially at higher speeds. Other aerodynamic measures include air curtains in the front bodywork, an almost completely enclosed underbody, special aero wheels and a diffuser at the rear.
A new level of utility, comfort and individuality
The new Cayenne Electric is 55 millimetres longer than the combustion-engined model. The new SUV is 4,985 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,674 mm high. The difference is greatest in the wheelbase (3,023 mm), where an increase of almost 13 cm means more rear legroom and comfort for the passengers in the back than ever before. The rear seat system is electrically adjustable as standard and offers flexible adjustment options from a comfort position to a cargo one. Luggage capacity is 781 to 1,588 litres, plus the 90-litre front luggage compartment. The new car’s utility value is also underlined by its towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, equipment-dependent.
The newly introduced Mood Modes turn the interior into an experience space that adapts to mood and situation. Depending on the selected programme, the seating position, lighting mood, air conditioning, sound profile and the display appearance change. The sliding Panoramic Roof with Variable Light Control, an electrically switchable liquid crystal foil, provides an airy feeling of space. Another highlight is the new panel heating: it not only warms the seats, but also large areas of contact surfaces such as armrests and door panels. The range of comforts is complemented by extended ambient lighting including a communication light – an animated light strip that welcomes passengers as they enter the car and visualises various vehicle states, such as the charging process.
Never before has a Cayenne been so comprehensively and individually customisable as the new all-electric model. Customers can choose from 13 standard colours, nine wheel designs from 20 to 22 inches, 12 interior combinations as well as up to five interior packages and up to five accent packages. Thanks to the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the extended exterior colour range of Paint to Sample and the Sonderwunsch programme, customers can also individualise their Cayenne according to their personal wishes, from a host of options all the way up to a complete one-off.
Porsche Design's programme of custom-built timepieces has been expanded to include the SUV model range. This means that Cayenne customers can now also order a watch from Porsche's own Swiss watch manufacturer that is tailored to their vehicle down to the last detail.
Porsche Driver Experience – largest display area in a Porsche
In the field of digitalisation, the Cayenne Electric takes the driving experience to a new level. At the heart of the newly developed Porsche Driver Experience is the Flow Display – an elegantly curved OLED panel that blends seamlessly into the centre console and allows clear separation between the display and control areas. It is complemented by a fully digital instrument cluster with 14.25-inch OLED technology and a 14.9-inch optional passenger display. Together, the result is the largest display area ever found in a Porsche. For the first time in the Cayenne, a head-up display with AR technology is also available, which visually represents an 87-inch display area 10 metres in front of the vehicle. All displays are seamlessly embedded into the interior architecture. In contrast, the buttons and controls for particularly frequently used functions, such as air conditioning and audio volume, are analogue. In addition, a hand rest has been developed that enables the driver to operate the digital and analogue elements ergonomically – even in particularly dynamic driving situations.
The new Porsche Digital Interaction is a digital operating philosophy and design language that expands the Porsche Driver Experience and is geared towards individualisation and quick access to functions. Widgets allow access to preferred functions, while the Themes app customises the colour scheme of all displays. Numerous third-party apps can be integrated directly into the vehicle via the Porsche App Centre. Diverse streaming and gaming features take the digital experience to a new level.
New standards through electrification—three powertrains beyond 2030
The new Cayenne Electric now complements the existing selection of drive types, which will continue to be offered in parallel worldwide. "Inspiring customers is our top priority at Porsche. With the electrification of the Cayenne, we are reaching a new level of performance that sets standards for the future. At the same time, we will continue to develop the Cayenne with efficient combustion and hybrid drive systems well into the next decade," says Matthias Becker, Member of the Board of Management, Sales and Marketing. "This strategy also applies to Porsche's entire model portfolio: in every segment in which we are represented, customers will in future have the choice between fully electric and combustion-engined powertrains."
Inspired by an icon: the new Cayenne Coupé Electric
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 Thomas Stopka, Head of Exterior Design, Style Porsche. The adaptive rear spoiler blends harmoniously into the body, while the way the rear window is embedded and flush-mounted with fewer joints ensures a clean, modern look. "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.
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 18 kilometres to up to 669 km, 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.
Sporty proportions with outstanding everyday practicality
At 4,985 millimetres long and 1,980 mm 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 24 mm lower, at 1,650 mm. Despite its sporting lines, the coupé offers a high level of practicality, with a load volume of 5346 to 1,347 litres and a front luggage compartment that holds an additional 90 l. The rear seating – available in either a two-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. For customers with increased demands on the ruggedness of their car, an off-road package is also available for the Coupé.
Three models at launch
The Cayenne Electric Coupé models mirror the current three-tier lineup of SUV models in terms of drive variants:
- Cayenne Coupé Electric producing 408 PS (300 kW), overboost power with Launch Control 442 PS (325 kW), 0 – 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, top speed 230 km/h.
- Cayenne S Coupé Electric producing 544 PS (400 kW), overboost power with Launch Control 666 PS (490 kW), 0 – 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, top speed 250 km/h.
- Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric producing 857 PS (630 kW), overboost power with Launch Control 1,156 PS (850 kW), 0 – 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, top speed 260 km/h.
The lineup of suspension systems corresponds to that of the SUV models. 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 390 kW using a suitable DC fast charger and, under specific conditions, even at up to 400 kW. AC charging speeds of up to 11 kW are available with the car's standard on-board charger. An optional on-board charger with a capacity of up to 22 kW is also available.
More extensive standard equipment and optional Lightweight Sport package
The Cayenne Coupé Electric adopts the Porsche Driver Experience of the SUV and so offers a digital and driver-oriented operating concept. This is characterised by a generous display area including a fully digital instrument cluster, the central Flow Display, as well as a passenger display and an AR head-up display as an option. Digital and analogue controls complement each other and are ergonomically optimised for ease of access. With Porsche Digital Interaction, the focus is on individualisation and intuitive operation. Personalisable widgets, customisable display themes and the integration of third-party apps ensure a connected and individually configurable user experience.
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 Coupé 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 17.6 kg. 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 combined with black leather upholstery and a 2+1 rear seat system.
