Your Definitive Guide to the Porsche Cayenne Electric Car Lease

The Porsche Cayenne Electric Car Lease - Your Definitive Guide 

A “Technological Milestone”, the Cayenne luxury SUV will be coming to the UK in 2026 in an all-electric format. To some degree, the market was surprised with the zero-emission option with this bigger EV from Porsche after the group announced concerns with the future of battery options compared to petrol and hybrid vehicles.

Indeed, it seemed that the latest revision of the Cayenne would be primarily a combustion endeavour, as the Porsche entity looks to create more long-term financial stability and efficacy. While this may be a little concerning for those of us involved in the EV industry, it is fair to say that more luxury and expensive vehicles have not perhaps been as popular as some manufacturers and brands envisaged.

The difficulty for the UK is that much of the incentives and support behind electrification has been for businesses and companies. Incredible tax benefits for the employer and employee are why so many fleets and salary sacrifice have flourished but for the retail and personal markets, the same cannot be said.

Targeting new and used EVs for individual (personal contract hire) customers is now being reviewed. If we are to ever attain the lofty political ambitions set by the UK Government this does need focus. Will 80% of the new cars being sold in the UK by 2030 be all-electric? While the team at e-car lease certainly hopes so, the reality is that the Government needs to do more and add weight to the transition.

As reported in the BBC , this is something which is being reviewed as we move towards the budget. Noted in the article is the admission that the Electric Car Grant (ECG) has perhaps not been as successful or beneficial as anticipated. Indeed, changing residual values, price wars and other complications have curtailed the uptake of EVs to a rate which is below the ZEV ambitions.

The SMMT does provide some data and statistics on vehicle registrations. For example, in October 2025 36,830 BEVs were registered, which equates to a 25% market share. While a considerable 5% increase on the 20% for the previous year, this is still a little behind what the Government expects.

With 386,000 all-electric vehicles registered so far in the UK, we are on course to a 450,000 - 500,000 registration year. However, the Government are purporting to make demand ever more buoyant, with an extra £1.3 billion funding to be unveiled in the upcoming budget.

While specifics are not yet available, there are submissions that funding will be available for creating charge points in the public domain, charging solutions for those without a driveway and further funds to support new and used EV economic growth. Identifying that more needs to be done to support manufacturer and customer confidence, it appears that more recognition of the industry obstacles are being resolved.

Having this level of confidence and progression is key on all levels but none more so for anyone looking to spend in excess of £100,000 on a vehicle. While company car and salary sacrifice users do get the great benefits, they are still customers and they need to ensure that the next 2, 3 or 4 years is worthwhile.

Introducing the new Porsche Cayenne Electric Car Lease

Even Porsche are not immune to these pressures having experienced some kickback on their Taycan and Macan Electric products, which led to product diversification. So seismic was this pressure, that it was alleged that the Cayenne would not feature with batteries. However, the German engineers are still committed to the zero-emission transition, confirming that two options will arrive in 2026 including:

•  PORSCHE CAYENNE ELECTRIC ESTATE 325kW 113kWh Auto; and
• PORSCHE CAYENNE ELECTRIC ESTATE 850kW Turbo 113kWh 5dr Auto.

Both the options will be AWD and equipped with the Porsche Traction Management (ePTM). The Turbo is a piece of engineering, with a 0 - 62 time of just over 2.5 seconds, 850kW (or 1,156ps) and top speeds of 160mph with Launch Control! Outside of the Launch Control, the vehicle still achieves 630kW (857ps).

The entry-model is still robust with 300kW (408ps) and just under 5 seconds on the 0 - 62mph times. The Porsche brand are offering the Formula E levels of performance hence the Ceramic Composite brakes available as an option. The vehicles will feature some other key facets as it pushes to be one of the leading SUV options.

Adaptive air suspension, Active Suspension Management and Torque Vectoring Plus will feature on the cars along with limited-slip differential too. Let’s not forget the electric car functionality with the new 113kWh high voltage battery with cooling thermal management.

As an 800-volt battery, DC rapid charging can peak at around 390kW DC which means a 15 minute 10 - 80% charging time. Quite interestingly, the Cayenne electric will feature inductive charging for 11kW AC; this means the car can park on a floor plate (rather than plug-in charger) to fuel.

With nearly 5m in length, 2m in width and 1.6m of height this is a bigger SUV option and perfect for families. Luggage capacity stands at 781L for the boot and 1588L with the seats down. The 3.5 tonnes towing capacity is available on the vehicle too (tow bar optional).

•  Standard (from £83,200) - this includes E-Performance powertrain, 20” alloys, Matrix LED lights, comfort seats (8-way electric), multifunction steering wheel, heated steering wheel, sound package plus, heated seats, black high-gloss exterior, adaptive air suspension, brake system, floor mats,  accent package black, floor mats, park assist, automatic parking, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, brake assist, climate control, automatic tailgate, driver memory package, digital key and navigation; and
