Electric, is the Porsche Cayenne cheaper than its gasoline version?

Devoid of environmental penalties due to its electric propulsion, the new Porsche Cayenne becomes somewhat “affordable” again.
A Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 1156 horsepower has never existed. So a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 1156 horsepower priced at 167,200 euros in France, including 20% taxes, is even more revolutionary.
This is the magic of electric vehicles in 2025: manufacturers are advancing so rapidly in their industrial transformation, yet production costs are collapsing. It’s a boon for customers who can indulge themselves without breaking the bank. Customers in Europe have already almost mourned the thermal Porsches given the outrageous tax penalties. In France, a vehicle that emits more than 191 g of CO2/km will incur a penalty of 80,000 euros starting January 1, 2026!

An entry-level in market prices
With its new Cayenne, Porsche literally makes Tesla and its nearly 15-year-old Model X look outdated. Range, charging power, dynamism, and build quality are on another level. Customers, particularly Americans and Chinese, will be able to tell the difference. With each new creation, Porsche is making giant strides in the electric market.
In France, the entry-level begins at 107,600 euros for a vehicle offering 642 kilometers of range, 442 horsepower, 835 Nm of torque, and a 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Its useful 113 kWh battery can charge at 390 kW (if the charging station permits) for a 10 to 80% charge in just 16 minutes! And we’re only talking about the entry-level model here.
Porsche immediately launches the Turbo version (857 nominal horsepower, peaking at 1156 horsepower with Launch Control) which will appeal to the wealthiest customers, followed by a range of intermediate trims such as Cayenne S, GTS, Turbo S, etc., rolled out over time.
For comparison, the previous Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid had only 739 horsepower for a price of 190,800 euros… before a penalty, not for being environmentally unfriendly, but for its weight due to its XXL mass. The weight penalty currently does not apply to electric vehicles in France. Until when?
