Porsche is a little like Burger King. Instead of letting customers build their ideal meat sandwiches, though, the automaker lets you build its cars and SUVs your way. For the 2027 model year, anyone planning to purchase a new Cayenne Electric will have even more choices than before thanks to several notable new options.
Cayenne EV customers can now participate in Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur Paint to Sample program. If you’re not familiar, it basically unlocks an even wider array of paint colors—105 total, according to the automaker. The SUV’s interior options have also expanded with the addition of the Extended Interior Style package, which covers more surfaces in leather and completes the look with Delgada Green contrast stitching.
People who like to be wined and dined, which includes this humble scribe, are the same people who will like the Cayenne Electric’s new party trick. It can now be optioned with power-operated doors that can open and close themselves. How do they work? Simply pull one of the door handles (inside or out), press a button on the key fob, or do it through the curved center touchscreen. Or, if you want to impress your unsuspecting passengers, tell them you have Jedi powers, buckle your seatbelt, press the brake pedal, and watch any open doors close without hand intervention.
The available massaging front seats can also be outfitted with a more theatrical feature. Not only are there five massage motions with variable intensity to pick from, but the new 4-D audio function syncs the seat’s six sound actuators with the music; this can be done separately from the massage mode too.
Porsche says you can now build and order your new 2027 Cayenne Electric, though the first deliveries aren’t slated to arrive until early next year. The lineup’s pricing also carries over for the new model year, with the base model starting at $111,350, the Cayenne S at $128,650, and the top-of-the-line Turbo opening at $165,350. All three variants can be converted to the coupe body style for between $4800 and $5000, depending on the trim.
