About the Porsche Cayenne Coupe
Shaped by performance, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe is a dynamic interpretation of the fastback SUV concept. Drivers will have their choice of three turbocharged engines in addition to two potent electrified powertrains, offering exhilaration and response for any type of driving style. Combining the poise and agility of a sports car with the commanding presence and versatility of an SUV, the Cayenne Coupe is positioned to content with the segment’s most established performance SUVs. Despite its eye-catching sloping roofline, the rear seat headroom of the Cayenne Coupe is virtually identical to the traditional Cayenne SUV. A standard adaptive suspension and stylish 20-inch alloy wheels provide subtle hints at the tremendous performance abilities of the Cayenne Coupe. You’ll also have access to the latest iteration of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and Porsche Connect for seamless multimedia accessibility.
What the Critics Say
“The compromises to its cargo space in no way hinder the Cayenne coupe from successfully translating Porsche’s storied sports-car attributes to an SUV format. Not only is the mid-size, two-row ute surprisingly entertaining and pleasing to drive, the more powerful versions are blindingly quick.” — Car and Driver
“Factor in the decades of motorsport success, quality of engineering, unrestricted German autobahns, knowledge, and thrills. They all seem to filter into the Porsche driving experience — every turn of the wheel, every squeeze of the throttle, and every prod of the brake pedal. Yet the Cayenne Coupe remains civilized and easily drivable in any situation.” — Kelly Blue Book
What’s New for 2023
Porsche has made a few minor updates to the Cayenne Coupe for 2023. The new Chromite Black Metallic paint has replaced Jet Black Metallic, and the exterior color “Chalk” has been discontinued altogether. Android Auto now works wirelessly, and the infotainment has gained native Spotify support. There is also a new trim bundle, the Platinum Edition, which bundles some of the more popular optional equipment into one package.
Porsche Cayenne Coupe Features

Dynamic Styling & Performance
Although many may draw comparisons to the Cayenne SUV, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe has its own distinctive appearance featuring a 0.8-inch lower roofline, steeply-raked windshield, and unique active spoiler tucked below the lower edge of the rear window. Aerodynamics and exterior design combine in complete harmony to form a sports car character that ensures full performance potential along with tremendous capability.
At launch, the Cayenne Coupe will be available with your choice of three potent turbocharged engine variants. These include a 335-horsepower turbocharged V6, a twin-turbo V6 producing 434 horsepower, or the muscular twin-turbo V8 that delivers an astounding 541 horsepower or 631-horsepower. Other standard performance features include Porsche Active Suspension Management, the legendary Sport Chrono package, and speed-sensitive power steering. Available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) offer superior resistance to heat and brake fade while increasing stopping power. E-Hybrid variants offer a thrilling blend of remarkable efficiency and instantaneous throttle response.

Driver-Focused Interior
Precision engineered to support every action of the driver, the luxurious interior of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe has everything you need to make the most of your drive – both on and off the track. A standard panoramic glass roof measures 23.2 square feet, allowing you to enjoy uninhibited views of the sky as you enjoy the journey. A signature option unique to the Cayenne Coupe are houndstooth cloth seat inserts, giving you improved breathability in addition to a stylish complement to the interior. Despite its lower roofline, the rear seats have been lowered accordingly to make no compromises on rear-seat headroom compared to the traditional Cayenne SUV. A high-resolution 12.3-inch Porsche Communication Management system is housed seamlessly within the elegant dash design of the Cayenne Coupe. You’ll have your choice of either a BOSE® Surround Sound System or Burmester® 3D High-End Surround Sound System, each offering outstanding clarity and depth.

Porsche Innovations & Technology
Another unique package offered on the Cayenne Coupe is the Lightweight Sport package. Those who choose this option will receive a contoured carbon roof, SportDesign package with carbon diffuser trim on the exterior, bold 22-inch GT Design wheels, and a signature sports exhaust. Also available, LED main headlights with matrix beam including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) feature 84 LEDs which can be adjusted to the current traffic situation by switching or dimming accordingly. This technology helps mitigate blinding to vehicles in front of you while maintaining exceptional visibility to help you maintain full driving concentration. It also features electronic cornering lights and an intersection light based on navigation data. A full-color Head Up-Display also boosts engagement and awareness.
