When Porsche unveils a new model, the world usually goes into ecstasy – forums explode, journalists gasp, and the whole thing feels like a well-orchestrated commercial for German engineering and automotive science. This time, however, the scene is a bit different. The Porsche Cayenne Electric has taken the internet by storm, but not necessarily for the reasons Zuffenhausen would like. First impressions – from both people who saw the car at the event and journalists who have already sat in it – are a mix of excitement, amazement, and that familiar “why did they do it like that?” feeling that we’ve come to associate more with Tesla than Porsche lately.

Porsche, the king of engineering precision, is not just introducing a new electric vehicle in 2026 – it’s completely redefining performance in the SUV class. And while the Taycan still stands as the pioneer of the brand’s electric future, the new Porsche Cayenne Electric is quietly taking the floor under its wheels.
