Porsche introduces new colour options and wireless charging to Cayenne Electric

Porsche has broadened the number of options and introduced wireless charging to its Cayenne Electric SUV.

While wireless charging was announced when the new Cayenne Electric was first launched late last year, it has now become available to UK buyers – and can be retrofitted for drivers who have already purchased a Cayenne.

It consists of three parts – the vehicle hardware, a charging pad mounted to the car itself and a ground pad which is installed in a parking space. It’s all weatherproof, too, and means that the Cayenne Electric can be driven over the pad, at which point up to 11kW of charging power will be wirelessly sent through to the car.

The preparation for the system is already included in all cars, though the vehicle pad will cost £1,930, and the wireless charging ground pad an additional £5,355.

In addition, the Cayenne Electric is now available with electrically operated doors for the first time, with motors there to open and close all four doors at the press of a button. It can even close the doors when it detects that the driver has fastened their seat belt or pressed the brake pedal.

More than 100 new colourways are now available on the Cayenne Electric via Porsche’s Paint To Sample programme. This gives an even greater scope for customisation and gives access to some of the brand’s heritage colours.

Porsche has also added new interior options, including additional leather trims and decorative stitching in ‘Delgada Green’. You can also get greater use of the brand’s Race-Tex material on areas such as the interior sill planes and seat consoles.

All of these options are now available with the Cayenne Electric, which starts from £83,265.
