Atlanta. Positioned between the Cayenne Electric and the top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Electric, the new 2026 Cayenne S Electric features an additional 165 kW (221 hp) of power compared to the standard model, sharpened exterior design, and even more extensive options previously reserved only for the top-model Turbo Electric. The Cayenne S Electric accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds when utilizing Launch Control and reaches a top track speed of up to 155 mph. Like the other two current Cayenne Electric models, the S variant features a high-voltage battery with a gross energy capacity of 113 kW, which at up to 400 kW² at a suitable fast-charging station, can be charged from 10 to 80% State of Charge (SoC) in less than 16 minutes³.
Direct oil cooling for high continuous load and efficiency
The drive system, which features permanent magnet synchronous motor on both front and rear axles, delivers a system output of 400 kW (536 hp), or up to 490 kW (657 hp) with Launch Control. Like the Cayenne Turbo Electric, the Cayenne S uses direct oil cooling for the rear-axle electric motor. Unlike with conventional electric motors, the heat is dissipated directly from the current-carrying components. The pulse inverter on the rear axle uses silicon carbide as a semiconductor material and processes currents of up to 620 amps.
The Cayenne S Electric is characterized by model-specific front and rear fascia pieces in Volcano Grey Metallic, while the inserts and diffuser are painted in the body color. The exterior styling is rounded off by 20-inch Cayenne S Aero wheels. Thirteen exterior colors and various interior and accent packages offer customers a wide range of possibilities for personalization.
Optional equipment includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) which provides even more precise driving dynamics. Optional Porsche Active Ride suspension almost completely compensates for body movements and aims to offer optimum comfort and handling. The high-performance Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system with yellow-painted brake calipers is also available for the Cayenne S, as is the Sport Chrono Package. Included with the Sport Chrono package is the Push-to-Pass function, that when activated, delivers up to an additional 90 kW (120 hp)¹ of power for up to 10 seconds. The built-in Track mode optimizes performance on track through targeted pre-conditioning of the battery.
Like all Cayenne Electric models, the Cayenne S will come equipped with J3400 (NACS) DC-only fast charging port on the driver-side rear fender, and a J1772 AC-only charging port on the passenger-side rear fender. It will also come standard with a Porsche CCS DC Adapter.
The 2026 Cayenne S Electric – part of the electric Cayenne line-up that complements the existing gas and hybrid Cayenne models – is available to order now. MSRP starts at $126,300, and does not include the delivery, processing and handling fee of $2,350. Total Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) shown excludes taxes, title, registration, other optional or regionally required equipment, and dealer charges. Deliveries are expected to begin at the end of Summer 2026.
New offering from Exclusive Manufaktur: the Interior Style Package
Under the “Style” product line, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is offering curated packages devised by the Style Porsche design studio and Exclusive Manufaktur. The first of these “Director's Cuts” is the Interior Style Package, which is now available as an option for all derivatives of the Cayenne Electric.
With a color and material scheme coordinated with the exterior color Mystic Green Metallic, the package creates a modern and exclusive ambience. At its heart is the two-tone leather upholstery in Black and Delgada Green, which extends to the door trims and the 14-way adjustable Comfort Seats, with the seat belts also picking up on the color theme. Delgada Green decorative stitching emphasizes attention to de-tail inside the car, as does the embroidered outline of the Porsche crest on the headrests.
Aluminum decorative trims, painted in Izabal Green, provide modern contrasts against the upholstered leather surfaces. The GT sports steering wheel trimmed in black leather features a 12 o'clock marking and cross stitching in Delgada Green. An Izabal Green ring on the airbag module, and a knurled Drive Mode selection wheel in the same color, emphasize the distinctive styling. In the driver's direct field of vision, the dial of the compass, the Sports Chrono stopwatch and the power meter in the instrument cluster all incorporate the Izabal Green accents.
The features are complemented by an accent package in Silvershade, as well as an armrest in the center console embossed with “Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur” lettering. The vehicle key is also finished in Izabal Green and is presented in a case with decorative stitching in Delgada Green. The overall look is rounded off with black anodized aluminum door sill guards with the model designation illuminated in green, as well as black floor mats with decorative edging, emblems and stitching.
