The new Cayenne Coupé models combine commanding presence with the iconic roofline of the 911 – known as the ‘flyline’ within Porsche. The coupé models are different from the A-pillar back, while the windscreen has also been designed specifically for the Coupé.
"The gently sloping roofline sweeps elegantly over the car’s broad shoulders and gives the Cayenne Coupé a particularly sporting appearance," says Thomas Stopka, Head of Exterior Design, Style Porsche. The adaptive rear spoiler blends harmoniously into the body, while the way the rear window is embedded and flush-mounted with fewer joints ensures a clean, modern look.
"Precisely drawn lines, wide proportions and high-gloss black side window strips form a design that exudes sportiness in every detail. Extroverted and clearly positioned, the new Cayenne Coupé Electric is a sports car through and through," says Stopka.
The coupé shape with its sloping roofline helps to reduce drag. The new model’s cd value is 0.23 (SUV: 0.25). This increases the combined WLTP range of the Cayenne Coupé Electric by up to 11 miles to up to 415 miles, depending on the model, compared to the SUV. The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system includes features such as moving cooling air flaps and an adaptive rear spoiler.
Purposeful proportions with outstanding everyday practicality
At 4,985 millimetres long and 1,980 mm wide (excluding mirrors), the all-electric Cayenne Coupé is the same length and width as the SUV model. However, the highest point of the car is 24 mm lower, at 1,650 mm. Despite its sporting lines, the coupé offers a high level of practicality, with a load volume of 5341 to 1,347 litres and a front luggage compartment that holds an additional 90 l. The rear seating – available in either a two-seat or 2+1 layout – is electrically adjustable in two ways. As with the SUV, a towbar, and a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, is available. For customers with increased demands on the ruggedness of their car, an off-road package is also available for the Coupé.
More extensive standard equipment and optional Lightweight Sport package
The Cayenne Coupé Electric adopts the Porsche Driver Experience of the SUV and so offers a digital and driver-oriented operating concept. This is characterised by a generous display area including a fully digital instrument cluster, the central Flow Display, as well as a passenger display and an AR head-up display as an option. Digital and analogue controls complement each other and their ergonomically optimised for ease of access. With Porsche Digital Interaction, the focus is on individualisation and intuitive operation. The capability to personal widgets, customise the display themes and integrate third-party apps ensure a connected and individually configurable user experience.
With its panoramic glass roof – optionally with Variable Light Control, an electrically switchable liquid crystal film – and its Sport Chrono Package, the standard equipment of the Cayenne Coupé Electric is even more extensive than that of the SUV.
A Coupé-specific Lightweight Sport package is also available as an option. Depending on the model, it reduces the car’s weight by up to 17.6 kg. The package includes a lightweight carbon roof, sporty carbon inserts, package-specific 22-inch wheels and high-performance tyres. Inside, sporty elements feature heavily, such as the seat centre panels trimmed in classic Pepita pattern cloth, the Race-Tex headliner and open-pore carbon surfaces. As an option, the Lightweight Sport package can also be combined with black leather upholstery and a 2+1 rear seat system.
