The 2027 Porsche Cayenne Electric arrives in a crowded market of luxury electric SUVs, but the Turbo version brings supercar numbers to a family-friendly package.
With 1,139 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque on tap, this five-seat SUV sprints to 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds.

Priced from $165,350, the Cayenne Turbo Electric aims to prove that an EV SUV can be both practical and thrilling.
Design and Styling
The Cayenne Electric's exterior is stately and understated, avoiding the overstyled look of some rivals.
Active aerodynamic blades at the rear extend at speed to improve airflow, a subtle but cool feature.
The headlights are technically impressive but lack the warmth of Porsche's best lighting signatures.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the high center tunnel and sporty seating position are nods to the original Cayenne.
The curved Flow Display dominates the dashboard, and a wrist rest makes it easy to use.

The optional passenger display supports Bluetooth headphones and YouTube, adding to the tech-heavy cabin.
Physical controls for volume are placed in the center, accessible to the passenger without reaching across.
Rear seats offer decent space even for tall passengers, with more lateral bolstering than most SUVs.
The cabin feels expensive, though some switchgear has a flat black finish that may not age as well.
With a 113-kWh battery, the Cayenne Turbo Electric offers up to 298 miles of range and supports 400-kW fast charging.
It can tow up to 7,716 lbs, making it as practical as it is powerful.
