Porsche Cayenne Electric gets wireless charging and more for 2027

Wireless battery charging is now available for the Porsche Cayenne Electric in both SUV and Coupe formats, along with fresh paint colours

The Porsche Wireless Charging Pad costs £5,355, and provides up to 11kW of power when the Cayenne Electric is placed atop it

Porsche has expanded the number of ways to personalise your new Cayenne Electric, and added wireless charging to the options list.

The arrival of 2027 model-year versions of the Cayenne Electric SUV and Coupe will allow buyers to make their new EV more bespoke.

Grabbing the most attention is a new range of Paint to Sample colours from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. 

These boost the paint choices from 13 standard hues to more than 100, although picking from the expanded menu will add £7,913 to the price of your luxury SUV. 

More practically, the updated Cayenne Electric is also the first production EV to offer charging without a cable, as wireless technology is introduced for UK buyers.

Recharge your SUV like a smartphone

Wireless charging was one of the major features touted ahead of the Cayenne Electric’s launch. Now the technology is being rolled out across Porsche’s EV model range.

Instead of relying on a traditional wallbox, the official Porsche Wireless Charging system can fully replenish a Cayenne Electric’s battery just by parking above it. 

Up to 11kW of charging power is provided, sent from a ground-mounted pad to a receiver unit mounted between the car’s front wheels. Charging starts automatically once the Porsche is positioned above the pad, with the suspension lowering automatically.

Convenience does not come cheap, though. Porsche buyers will need to spend £1,322 on the vehicle-mounted receiver, then a further £5,355 for the ground charging unit. 

The latter does not include installation of the required 400-volt three-phase home electricity connection to power it, either.

Enhanced luxury for 2027 Cayenne Electric

Along with new paint choices and the potential for wireless charging, the updated 2027 Cayenne Electric gains the option of power-operated doors.

This allows the doors to open fully with just a quick pull on the handle. They can also be activated using the Cayenne Electric’s infotainment system or vehicle key.

Enhanced comfort is offered by a 4D audio system with a new massage function. The £2,109 upgrade adds 16 air cushions to the front seats, plus six sound actuators in the backrests and seat cushions, to create an ‘intense’ massage effect that matches the music being played.

There is also a new £9,444 Interior Style Package, which incorporates two-tone black and Delgada Green leather upholstery – including on the Porsche’s interior door panels and steering wheel.
