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

Devoid of ecological penalty 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% tax, is even more revolutionary.
It’s the magic of electric in 2025: manufacturers are progressing so rapidly in their industrial transformation, while production costs are collapsing. A boon for customers who can indulge themselves without breaking the bank. Customers in Europe have almost mourned the thermal Porsches due to the outrageous tax penalties. In France, a vehicle that emits more than 191 g of CO2/km will have to pay a penalty of 80,000 euros starting January 1, 2026!

With its new Cayenne, Porsche literally outdates Tesla and its Model X, which is nearly 15 years old. Range, charging speed, dynamism, and build quality – we are in a different league. Customers, particularly American and Chinese ones, will know how to differentiate. With each new model, Porsche makes giant strides in the electric arena.
In France, the entry-level model starts at 107,600 euros, offering a range of 642 kilometers, 442 horsepower, 835 Nm of torque, and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds. Its usable 113 kWh battery charges at 390 kW (if the station allows it) for a charge from 10% to 80% in just 16 minutes! And this is only the base model.
Porsche immediately unveils the Turbo version (857 nominal horsepower, peak at 1156 horsepower with Launch Control) which will attract wealthier buyers, along with a whole range of intermediate finishes like Cayenne S, GTS, Turbo S, etc., scheduled for release over time.
For comparison, the previous Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid offered just 739 horsepower for a price of 190,800 euros… before a penalty not for being ecological, but for weight due to its XXL mass. This weight penalty, to date, does not yet apply to electric vehicles in France. Until when?
