Porsche has launched the all-electric Cayenne in Malaysia, and the numbers are extraordinary. The top Turbo variant produces up to 1,156 PS with launch control, while even the base model offers well over 600 km of WLTP range. Prices start at RM699,000 nett before options, making it a serious but expensive proposition.
2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric Price List (Nett, Before Options)
| Variant | SUV | Coupe |
|---|---|---|
| Cayenne | RM699,000 | RM749,000 |
| Cayenne S | RM759,000 | RM805,000 |
| Cayenne Turbo | RM969,999 | RM999,999 |
Performance
All variants have dual-motor all-wheel drive. The base car makes 408 PS and 835 Nm (442 PS with launch control) and reaches 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The S raises output to 544 PS and 1,080 Nm (666 PS with launch control) with a 3.8-second sprint. The Turbo is the headline act: 857 PS and 1,500 Nm, or 1,156 PS with launch control, reaching 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and 200 km/h in 7.4 seconds, with a 260 km/h top speed. Regenerative braking can recover up to 600 kW.
Battery, Range and Charging
A 113 kWh NMC battery on an 800V architecture provides WLTP ranges from 624 km to 669 km, depending on the variant and body style; the Cayenne S Coupe is the longest at 669 km. DC charging is up to 390 kW, taking 10% to 80% in under 16 minutes, one of the fastest in the world. AC charging is 11 kW as standard, with 22 kW optional, and 11 kW wireless charging is available ex-factory, which is a rare luxury.
Chassis and Driving
Air suspension with PASM adaptive dampers is standard. Options include Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, rear-wheel steering up to 5 degrees, carbon ceramic brakes and Porsche Active Ride. The suspension can raise the ground clearance to 245 mm, and an off-road package is offered, with a 550 mm wading depth. Aerodynamics are impressive too: a drag coefficient of 0.25 for the SUV and 0.23 for the Coupe, which helps efficiency.
Interior and Technology
The cabin features a 14.25-inch curved OLED instrument display, an optional 14.9-inch passenger display, the Flow Display infotainment system and an augmented-reality head-up display with an 87-inch effective size. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Qi wireless charging pad are included. Wheels range from 20 to 22 inches.
Practicality
For a performance car, this is a practical one. The wheelbase is 3,023 mm, and the SUV has a 781-litre boot (584 litres for the Coupe) plus a 90-litre front boot. Rear passengers should have plenty of space.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: astonishing performance, very fast charging, long range, optional wireless charging, genuine practicality, striking technology
- Cons: very high price once options are added, large and heavy, charging infrastructure for 390 kW is limited in Malaysia
Verdict
The Cayenne Electric proves that a family SUV can also be a supercar rival. Most buyers will find the base or S more than fast enough, while the Turbo is for those who want the ultimate statement. At RM699,000 and above, it is a luxury purchase, but few cars at any price offer this blend of speed, range and usability.
