Porsche Cayenne Electric UK pricing confirmed: £83,200 OTR for the standard car, £130,900 for the 1,156PS Turbo Electric. UK deliveries from June 2026. Full math here.
Porsche Cayenne Electric UK pricing confirmed
The Cayenne Electric arrives with six configurator variants, three SUV and three Coupe, ranging from £83,200 OTR on the rear-drive standard car up to £133,900 on the Turbo Coupe Electric. Pricing was announced by Porsche Cars Great Britain alongside an early summer 2026 UK delivery slot. The first row of the table below is the entry point for salary-sacrifice quotes at the £900-a-month gross cap most premium schemes operate.
Porsche Cars Great Britain confirmed the on-the-road pricing structure for the new third-generation Cayenne, which is the first Cayenne ever offered as a pure EV. Pricing from the Porsche UK configurator and Carwow’s news desk:
| Cayenne Electric variant | UK OTR price | Peak power | 0 to 62 mph |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cayenne Electric | £83,200 | 442 PS | 4.8s |
| Cayenne S Electric | £99,200 | 523 PS | 4.0s |
| Cayenne Turbo Electric | £130,900 | up to 1,156 PS (launch control) | 2.5s |
| Cayenne Coupe Electric | £86,200 | 442 PS | 4.8s |
| Cayenne S Coupe Electric | £102,900 | 523 PS | 4.0s |
| Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric | £133,900 | up to 1,156 PS (launch control) | 2.5s |
For context, the outgoing combustion Cayenne starts at £75,400 in the UK and the Cayenne Coupe at £79,300 (Porsche UK configurator). So the Cayenne Electric carries a roughly £7,800 premium over the petrol equivalent at the entry point and a much bigger £25,000+ premium at the Turbo end, where the new Turbo Electric replaces both the V6 Turbo and the Turbo GT lineage with a single 1,156PS halo car.
Range, charging and the 800V platform
The Cayenne Electric uses an 800V architecture (shared in concept with the Taycan and Audi e-tron GT) with a 113kWh usable battery in the largest pack. Porsche’s published WLTP range figures land at up to 398 miles on the standard Cayenne Electric. DC charging tops out at 400kW peak, which is the same headline number as a Taycan and considerably faster than the BMW iX or Mercedes EQE-SUV. Real-world 10 to 80% on a 350kW charger should sit close to 16 to 19 minutes per the launch fleet test data summarised by Car magazine and Autocar.
For a P1 or P3 buyer this is the part that matters: the Cayenne Electric closes the charging-speed gap with petrol refilling about as far as current public infrastructure allows. A 400kW peak only matters if you actually find a 350kW+ charger; on a typical 150kW ultra-rapid, the Cayenne caps near 150kW like everything else.
Salary sacrifice math: a £83,200 Cayenne Electric at 4% BIK
This is where the new Cayenne gets interesting for higher-rate UK taxpayers. Per HMRC’s company-car appropriate-percentage tables, the BIK rate on zero-emission cars is 4% in 2026-27, rising to 5% in 2027-28, 7% in 2028-29 and 9% in 2029-30. For a higher-rate (40%) taxpayer on an £83,200 P11D Cayenne Electric in 2026-27 that is roughly £1,331 of BIK tax over a full tax year (4% of £83,200 = £3,328 taxable benefit, taxed at 40%). The same buyer on a personal lease at Porsche Financial Services’ representative APR would pay materially more in net cost per month once income tax is paid on the salary that funds it.
The catch on the Turbo Electric is that the £130,900 P11D drives the absolute BIK number up: 4% of £130,900 is £5,236 of taxable benefit, costing a 45% additional-rate taxpayer £2,356 in 2026-27. Still cheap-via-payroll versus a personal-finance equivalent, but the sal-sac sweet spot is the entry Cayenne Electric or the S, not the Turbo.

How the Cayenne Electric stacks up against rivals
Cross-shop list for a UK buyer at this price point:
- BMW iX xDrive60 (post-2026 refresh) at roughly £100,000 OTR is the most credible like-for-like rival on size and luxury, though it gives up around 200 PS at the Turbo end.
- Mercedes EQS SUV 580 4MATIC at around £130,000 lands close to the Cayenne Electric S on price but is positioned as a chauffeur-grade luxury cruiser, not a driver’s SUV.
- Audi Q8 e-tron quattro from approximately £75,000 is the closest in price to the entry Cayenne Electric but is built on an older platform and lacks the 800V architecture; charging caps below 170kW.
- Range Rover Electric (launching in 2026 to 2027 per JLR), as covered in our Range Rover Electric launch piece, is the in-segment rival the Cayenne will be compared with most, though Porsche is first to market.
Insurance, ULEZ and the practical UK ownership picture
Insurance group ratings for the Cayenne Electric will sit at the top of the Thatcham table given list price and 0-62 performance; expect group 49 to 50 on the Turbo Electric and group 45 to 48 on the base car. UK premiums for a 45-year-old in a low-risk postcode on a clean licence will run £1,400 to £2,500/year for the standard Cayenne Electric and well above £2,500 for the Turbo Electric. Specialist EV insurance from Adrian Flux, LV= or Aviva all quote on the new Cayenne; for a low-mileage, garaged car an agreed-value policy from a specialist may save money against mainstream quotes.
ULEZ-wise, the Cayenne Electric is zero-emission and exempt from ULEZ and all UK Clean Air Zone (CAZ) charges. VED on a zero-emission car costs £10 in year one and reverts to the standard rate from year two onwards under the 2025 reform; the new Expensive Car Supplement adds £425/year in years 2 to 6 because every Cayenne Electric trim is above the £40,000 threshold.
Our take
The Cayenne Electric is the first credible Porsche EV SUV at scale: a real 398-mile WLTP range, an 800V charging architecture that actually justifies the headline kW number, and pricing that mostly tracks the petrol Cayenne for the base car while running away with the Turbo Electric. For a UK P1 buyer who already wanted a Cayenne, this is the version to wait for unless you specifically need the V8 noise. For a P2 sal-sac buyer in a higher-rate or additional-rate bracket, the entry Cayenne Electric at £83,200 P11D is the rational pick: 4% BIK on a Porsche SUV is a deal the tax system rarely hands out. For a P3 cash or PCP buyer, the math gets less attractive at the Turbo Electric end because the £130,900 P11D plus the £425 Expensive Car Supplement and group-50 insurance load adds up. Order books are open at UK Porsche Centres now, deliveries begin June 2026; if you are picking a launch-allocation Turbo Electric, lock pricing today.
