Porsche has confirmed the coupe version of its latest model, the all-important Cayenne Electric.

Porsche says the 2026 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric, which debuted at the Auto China 2026 show in Beijing, is visually inspired by the Porsche 911's roofline.

Set to launch with three variants, the Cayenne Coupe Electric's reveal comes about five months after the unveiling of the Cayenne Electric.

The introduction of the Coupe versions of the Cayenne Electric doubles the number of variants, with the Coupe matching up with existing versions: the base Cayenne Electric, the Cayenne S Electric, and the Cayenne Turbo Electric.

Starting from $173,600 before on-road costs, the base Coupe is $5800 more expensive than the equivalent SUV.

That grade comes with the same 300kW drivetrain as the standard (good for 100km/h in 4.8 seconds), much like the other two mirror their SUV counterparts.

The Cayenne S Coupé Electric has a 400kW drivetrain, with a 490kW overboost function and 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds.

The Turbo Coupe Electric also boasts 630KW like the SUV with its 850kW launch control overboost output, and manages 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds.

Top speeds are 230km/h, 250km/h, and 260km/h respectively.

Dual-motor, all-wheel-drive set-ups are featured across the range, plus adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard, but another feature unique to the Coupe makes it better than the SUV body style in one major way.

The Cayenne Coupe Electric's lower drag coefficient of 0.23Cd (versus 0.25 in the SUV) means its 669km range (WLTP, base Coupe) is 18km longer than the SUV.

Like the SUV, it features active aerodynamics to improve performance and handling or efficiency, depending on the situation.

Its huge 113kWh battery charges at up to 400kW with peak conditions and suitable DC charging, while the standard 11kW AC charger can be upgraded to an optional 22kW AC charger.

Additionally, a Lightweight Sport package reduces the EV's weight by up to 17.6kg by adding a carbon roof, inserts, and specific lightweight 22-inch wheels.

The Cayenne Coupe Electric joins its standard SUV siblings in Australia and is available to order now.
