Drivetrain
The Porsche Cayenne Electric uses a Electric producing 325kW and 835Nm of torque, sent through a single-speed automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.8 seconds.
The Toyota RAV4 responds with a Petrol Hybrid making 143kW, paired to a cvt (e-cvt) driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8.4 seconds.
The Porsche Cayenne Electric has the clear power advantage at 325kW vs 143kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Porsche Cayenne Electric is 3.6s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Porsche Cayenne Electric measures 4,985mm long on a 3,023mm wheelbase, 385mm longer than the Toyota RAV4 at 4,600mm (2,690mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Porsche Cayenne Electric generally means more rear legroom.

For towing, the Porsche Cayenne Electric leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 800kg. That 2,700kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
The Toyota RAV4 turns in a 11.4 m circle, kerb to kerb; the Porsche Cayenne Electric's turning circle is not on our record.

At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Porsche Cayenne Electric costs about $1,099 a year (22.9 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Toyota RAV4 about $1,283 a year (4.5 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 3 years / Unlimited (Porsche Cayenne Electric) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota RAV4).
Where each one leads
The Porsche Cayenne Electric: more power (325kW against 143kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (781L against 705L) and the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 800kg).
The Toyota RAV4: the lower starting price ($45,990 against $167,800) and the longer warranty (5 years against 3).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
