The new Porsche Cayenne Electric has arrived in Bucharest: Complete details and prices for the brands most powerful production SUV
Porsche Cayenne Electric debuts in Romania: Over 1,100 HP and prices from 108,039 euros
The Porsche Cayenne, the SUV that redefined the success of the German brand in the early 2000s, is officially entering a new era. After a spectacular national premiere on the tennis courts of the Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca, the new Porsche Cayenne Electric was officially presented in Bucharest. The event, dedicated to the press, customers and fans, marks the arrival of the most powerful series model in the history of the Stuttgart manufacturer on Romanian soil.
Hypercar performance in an SUV format
The new Cayenne Electric is not just a “battery” version of the well-known SUV, but a demonstration of technological strength. The star of the Bucharest exhibition was the Turbo Electric version, finished in a mesmerizing shade of Mystic Green Metallic.
The figures of this model seem to have been taken from the technical data sheet of a race track: in the top version, the SUV delivers a colossal power of 1,156 hp and a torque of 1,500 Nm (with the Launch Control function activated). These resources allow it to reach 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, a performance that places it in the select league of hypercars, despite its generous dimensions. The top speed is electronically limited to 260 km/h.
For those looking for a balance between efficiency and dynamism, the base version offers 442 HP and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.8 seconds, being more than capable of meeting the demands of the premium segment.
First-of-its-kind charging technology: Say goodbye to cables?
Equipped with a 113 kWh battery, the Cayenne Electric promises a generous range: up to 642 kilometers for the standard version and 623 kilometers for the Turbo variant. But the real innovation lies in the 800V architecture, which allows record charging speeds at fast stations, reaching the threshold of 390 - 400 kW.
Furthermore, the new Cayenne Electric is the brand’s first model to introduce optional induction charging. With up to 11 kW of power, this technology allows owners to charge their car simply by parking it on top of a special plate, eliminating the need to fiddle with cables in their own garage.
From Cluj to Bucharest: A strategic partnership
The choice of the Transylvania Open for the national debut was no coincidence. Porsche, the tournament’s mobility partner for six years, transformed the Cluj arena into a stage for the brand’s electric future. The event’s fleet was completed by 16 units of the new Macan Electric, underlining the brand’s clear direction towards sustainability.
"We chose to premiere the new Cayenne Electric in Cluj because this city and the community here are extremely important to us, especially in view of the opening of the second Porsche Center in Romania," said the brand's officials during the event.
Prices and availability in Romania
The new Porsche Cayenne Electric can already be ordered in Romania. The prices reflect the technological leadership and the ultimate luxury offered:
- Cayenne Electric (Base): from 108,039 euros (VAT included).
- Cayenne Turbo Electric: from 168,525 euros (VAT included).
With this model, Porsche is not only electrifying its best-selling SUV, but is also raising the bar for the entire industry, demonstrating that the future of electric mobility can be sustainable, luxurious and incredibly fast at the same time.
Romanians' favorite models: SUV is the leader
Porsche's presence in Romania has long gone beyond the stage of a simple sales operation, becoming a barometer of the local luxury market. In 2026, the Stuttgart brand consolidates its position not only through record figures, but also through a strategic expansion outside the Capital.
In Romania, customer preferences follow the global trend, but with an even more pronounced inclination towards versatility and status. Although Porsche is a sports car manufacturer, the volume is supported by the SUV segment.
- Porsche Cayenne: It remains the "locomotive" of sales. Whether we are talking about the hybrid variants or the new electric model, the Cayenne is the preferred choice for families who do not want to give up performance.
- Porsche Macan: In second place, it is extremely popular in urban environments. With the transition to full electric propulsion, the Macan attracts a new segment of customers, younger and more technology-oriented.
- Porsche 911: Surprisingly for a small market, the 911 has a solid market share in Romania. It is considered the “safe” investment and the quintessential weekend car.
- Porsche Taycan: Although the electric market has stabilized in 2025, the Taycan remains the first choice for those looking for a zero-emission sports sedan.
How much does a Porsche cost in Romania in 2026?

| Panamera | Base | ~€115,000 |
Prices may vary depending on exchange rates and quarterly updates of the official Porsche Romania price lists.
Expansion: Beyond Bucharest
A turning point for Porsche in Romania is the opening of the Porsche Center in Cluj-Napoca. This major investment confirms that Transylvania has become the second most important region for the brand.
- Porsche Center Bucharest: Remains the central hub, offering complete experiences, from configuration to specialized service.
- Porsche Center Cluj: Served by a growing business community, the center eliminates the need for customers in the west of the country to travel hundreds of kilometers for maintenance.
- Charging network: Porsche has invested heavily in its own infrastructure of ultra-fast stations (up to 400 kW) in strategic locations and at top partners (premium hotels and restaurants).
Why is Porsche successful in Romania?
The success is not only due to the cars, but also to the resale value. A Porsche is considered one of the "safest" luxury cars on the second-hand market in Romania, with depreciation being significantly lower than its direct competitors.
The Stuttgart Verdict: A Bet on the Future and on Romania
The arrival of the new Porsche Cayenne Electric in Bucharest, right after the "massive bath" in Cluj, is not just a product launch, but a statement of intent. Porsche demonstrates that the transition to electric mobility does not have to be a compromise between sustainability and adrenaline. On the contrary, with over 1,100 HP under the hood, the Cayenne Electric rewrites the rules of the SUV segment, offering performance that, until recently, seemed reserved exclusively for race circuits.
The brand's success in Romania, supported by solid sales figures and a strategic expansion in economic hubs such as Transylvania, confirms that the Romanian public is ready for this new chapter. While prices reflect the brand's exclusivity, ultra-fast charging technology and innovations such as induction charging remove the last barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles in the luxury segment.
Whether you're a brand purist who values its sporting heritage or a technology enthusiast seeking the cutting edge of German engineering, the new Cayenne Electric proves one thing for sure: the future of Porsche is silent, incredibly fast and, starting today, much closer to the roads of Romania.
