The 2027 Porsche Cayenne Electric is a mid-size electric SUV that earns its spot in the lineup honestly. With its potent electric propulsion and advanced tech, it strikes a deft balance between luxury, speed, and agility. The Cayenne Electric comes with three powertrains, all with two motors and all-wheel drive. The base model produces 435 horsepower, while the S trim wields 657 horsepower. The Turbo is the most powerful, with 1,139 horsepower, an estimated 0-60 mph sprint of under 2.5 seconds, and active aerodynamics that improve range.
The Cayenne Electric has an estimated 340 miles of electric range and a generous amount of cargo space, making it a practical EV without abandoning the Porsche ethos. The cabin is more tech-focused than the gas-powered Cayenne, with a new infotainment screen design that takes up most of the dashboard real estate. The Cayenne Electric also features Porsche's amazing Active Ride suspension, which soaks up road imperfections and controls body motions.

The Turbo model also comes standard with a torque-vectoring limited-slip differential. The Cayenne Electric will have a maximum towing capacity of 7,716 pounds, which is mighty impressive for a luxury electric SUV.
