Porsche Cayenne and Panamera in Andorra: Registration Guide 2026
The Cayenne and Panamera are, by a significant margin, the two Porsche model lines most frequently registered in Andorra. This is not a coincidence: they sit at the intersection of high vehicle value (where the IGI/TVA differential is most impactful), executive and family use (buyers who hold Andorran residency or direct an Andorran company), and strong international resale markets. This guide covers every current model in both lines, with savings figures versus France and Spain, the ordering process through Cotxes Andorra, and a realistic timeline for 2026.

Why Cayenne and Panamera, Not the 911?
The 911 is Porsche’s flagship and commands intense enthusiasm, but it is a specialist car: two seats, sports-oriented, primarily bought by driving enthusiasts. The Cayenne and Panamera serve a different buyer, families, executives, business owners who want Porsche performance combined with practicality.
Crucially, this buyer profile overlaps heavily with the profile of people who have a genuine Andorran connection: company directors, high-net-worth individuals with passive Andorran residency, and international families based in Andorra. The 911 is also registered in Andorra, but in smaller numbers. The Cayenne and Panamera are the volume models for the Andorran premium market.
A second factor: both lines include plug-in hybrid variants with lower CO2 emissions. In Spain, the IEDMT (registration tax) is graduated by CO2 output, so a Cayenne e-Hybrid faces a lower IEDMT than a Cayenne Turbo, making the Andorra saving even more pronounced for hybrid buyers comparing against a Spanish registration. In France, the malus ecologique can reach EUR 60,000 on high-emission vehicles; PHEVs with sufficiently low official CO2 figures are exempt. Either way, registering in Andorra at IGI 4.5% avoids the question entirely.

Savings vs France and Spain
The table below shows the estimated tax saving of registering in Andorra versus registering in France or Spain, for each model at list price excluding taxes. The Andorra cost is IGI at 4.5% of the vehicle price. The France column includes TVA at 20% plus the malus ecologique applicable to the vehicle’s CO2 figure in 2026. The Spain column includes IVA at 21% plus IEDMT (up to 14.75% for high-emission vehicles).
| Model | IGI Andorra | Tax in France (TVA + malus) | Tax in Spain (IVA + IEDMT) | Saving vs France | Saving vs Spain |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cayenne S (EUR 110k) | EUR 4,950 | EUR 22,000 + EUR 3,000 malus = EUR 25,000 | EUR 23,100 + EUR 0 IEDMT = EUR 23,100 | ~EUR 20,050 | ~EUR 18,150 |
| Cayenne Turbo (EUR 180k) | EUR 8,100 | EUR 36,000 + EUR 40,000 malus = EUR 76,000 | EUR 37,800 + EUR 26,550 IEDMT = EUR 64,350 | ~EUR 67,900 | ~EUR 56,250 |
| Cayenne Turbo GT (EUR 200k) | EUR 9,000 | EUR 40,000 + EUR 50,000 malus = EUR 90,000 | EUR 42,000 + EUR 29,500 IEDMT = EUR 71,500 | ~EUR 81,000 | ~EUR 62,500 |
| Cayenne e-Hybrid (EUR 120k) | EUR 5,400 | EUR 24,000 + EUR 0 malus = EUR 24,000 | EUR 25,200 + EUR 0 IEDMT = EUR 25,200 | ~EUR 18,600 | ~EUR 19,800 |
| Panamera 4S (EUR 140k) | EUR 6,300 | EUR 28,000 + EUR 20,000 malus = EUR 48,000 | EUR 29,400 + EUR 13,650 IEDMT = EUR 43,050 | ~EUR 41,700 | ~EUR 36,750 |
| Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid (EUR 200k) | EUR 9,000 | EUR 40,000 + EUR 0 malus = EUR 40,000 | EUR 42,000 + EUR 0 IEDMT = EUR 42,000 | ~EUR 31,000 | ~EUR 33,000 |
Figures are estimates based on 2026 tax rates. Malus figures are indicative; the exact malus depends on the vehicle’s official CO2 certification and the applicable scale in the year of first registration. IEDMT figures apply the 14.75% maximum rate for vehicles above 200g CO2/km; lower rates apply for lower-emission models. Savings figures exclude specialist fees (EUR 1,500-2,800), transport, and other fixed costs.

The Hybrid Angle
The plug-in hybrid versions of both lines (the Cayenne e-Hybrid and the Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid) deserve particular attention for buyers comparing against Spain.
In Spain, the IEDMT is calculated on CO2 emissions. A Cayenne e-Hybrid with official WLTP CO2 of 30-44g/km typically falls into the 0% IEDMT bracket, meaning the only Spanish tax is IVA at 21%. Compare this to a Cayenne Turbo (281g/km) which faces IEDMT at the maximum 14.75% rate. This is why the Andorra saving on the Cayenne Turbo is EUR 56,000 versus Spain, while the saving on the e-Hybrid is EUR 19,800: the IEDMT component collapses for the hybrid.
Conversely, for buyers comparing against France: the malus ecologique on a Cayenne Turbo (EUR 40,000+) makes the Andorra saving enormous. For the Cayenne e-Hybrid, the malus is zero in France (PHEVs with sufficiently low official CO2 are exempt), so the saving versus France is “only” EUR 18,600, still very significant, but driven purely by the TVA/IGI gap rather than malus avoidance.
Conclusion: if you are comparing against Spain, the thermal versions (Cayenne Turbo, Panamera 4S) show the largest savings. If you are comparing against France, the thermal versions dominate even more dramatically due to the malus. The hybrids still save EUR 18,000-20,000 versus either country, a strong case in their own right.

The Ordering Process
Step 1, Eligibility and setup. Confirm your legal link to Andorra (residency or company) and check that the registration structure is in place. If not, set it up before ordering.
Step 2, Get comparable quotes. Drive-Andorra sends your enquiry to 3 to 5 vetted registration specialists. You receive detailed, comparable quotes within 24 hours. Specialist fees typically range from EUR 1,500 to EUR 2,800 for a Cayenne or Panamera, confirm what is included (ITV, plates, administration, transport if applicable).
Step 3, Order at Cotxes Andorra. Once you have chosen a specialist, the vehicle is ordered through Cotxes Andorra. You can specify colour, interior, and options in the same way as any Porsche dealership. A deposit is typically required.
Step 4, ITV and registration. On delivery, the vehicle undergoes the ITV Andorrana (technical inspection). Your specialist manages the paperwork with the Govern d’Andorra. The permis de circulacio (Andorran registration document) and plates are issued within 2-4 weeks of a successful ITV.
Step 5, Collection. You collect the vehicle, or arrange transport if you are not based in Andorra. Andorran-registered vehicles can circulate freely in France and Spain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a Cayenne with any options available in France or Germany? Yes. Cotxes Andorra has access to the full Porsche configurator. Lead times on heavily specified vehicles or unusual colour combinations may be longer.
Is the Cayenne Turbo GT available in Andorra? Yes, but lead times are longer (6-9 months from order). The Turbo GT is a limited-production model with allocation constraints. Cotxes Andorra can advise on current availability.
Can I take the car to France immediately after collection? Yes. An Andorran-registered vehicle can circulate in France and Spain without restriction. You will need valid Andorran insurance covering France and Spain (a green card / international insurance certificate).
What happens when I sell the vehicle? If you sell to a buyer who keeps the Andorran registration, the process is straightforward. If the buyer is based in France or Spain and wants to re-register the vehicle locally, they will pay local taxes (TVA/IVA and malus/IEDMT) on the vehicle’s value at the time of import, not the original price. On a 3-year-old Cayenne, this is calculated on the residual value.
Do I need Andorran insurance? Yes. The vehicle must be insured under an Andorran policy. Several specialist Andorran insurers provide coverage valid throughout Europe. Your registration specialist can assist.
What is Drive-Andorra’s fee? Nothing. Drive-Andorra is free to use. The specialists pay us an introduction fee when they win your business. You pay only the specialist’s registration fee, which you see in the quote before you commit.
