Porsche has unveiled the new 100% electric Cayenne Coupé, a model that draws from the classic design of the original SUV. It promises greater range and a luxurious interior, marking another step in high-end electrification. However, this technological advancement remains a luxury within reach of few wallets, while the majority seeks more realistic options to move without gasoline.
High-voltage batteries and controlled weight ⚡
The electric Cayenne Coupé mounts an 800-volt PPE platform, the same as the electric Macan, enabling fast charging of up to 270 kW. Its 100 kWh battery offers a range close to 600 kilometers in the WLTP cycle. Porsche has worked on aerodynamics and adaptive suspension to maintain sporty behavior despite the extra weight of the batteries. All-wheel drive is standard, with two motors delivering over 600 CV of combined power. A curious fact: the braking system is regenerative, but it has been designed so that the pedal feels like that of a combustion Cayenne.
The Chinese hybrid cousin that leaves you with change 😅
While Porsche sells electric luxury, the JAECOO 7 SHS arrives in Spain for 27,690 euros. It is a plug-in hybrid that consumes little, but its name seems taken from a random keyboard. The funny thing is that for the price of an entry-level Cayenne, you could buy three JAECOO and still have enough left to charge them for ten years. Electric mobility is advancing, yes, but your wallet decides whether you advance in a Porsche or in a car that sounds like a WiFi password.
