What the Critics Say
“Porsche describes this upgrade as “one of the most extensive” in the company’s history. Porsche’s heritage comes from the sportier side of the automotive world, so it has made the Cayenne one of the few luxury midsize SUVs to bring genuine driver enjoyment. For those with the funds and the fascination, the new Cayenne is a must-consider.” — Kelley Blue Book
“This mid-size, two-row luxury crossover is unnaturally light on its feet, with chassis tuning derived from over two decades of performance-SUV supremacy. Turbocharged V-6, twin-turbo V-8, and plug-in hybrid powertrains are available, creating a broad lineup of Cayenne variants. All are expressly athletic, with delicate handling that’s a rarity in the SUV marketplace.” — Car and Driver
What’s New for 2025
For 2025, SUV enthusiasts will be excited to learn that the race-proven Porsche Cayenne GTS is back and better than ever. GTS models receive enhanced performance in the form of an improved 493-horsepower version of the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that’s also shared with the Cayenne S. Other key performance features of the GTS include black exterior accents, specialized suspension tuning, and a water-cooled all-wheel drive system. Finally, all Cayenne trim levels now include soft-close doors, ambient lighting, Surround View with Active Park Support, and locking wheel bolts as standard features.
Porsche Cayenne Features
Performance
The Cayenne is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 producing 348 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, giving it the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 MPH in 5.7 seconds (or 5.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). The Cayenne S is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that boasts 468 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate to 60 MPH from a standstill in just 4.6 seconds with the Sport Chrono package and continue on toward a top track speed of 170 MPH. Sitting atop the range is the Cayenne GTS and its impressive 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that delivers 493 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. A responsive eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission is included as standard equipment across the Cayenne line. Standard Porsche Active Suspension Management can automatically adapt to road surface conditions, strengthening both comfort and stability. An optional Sport Exhaust System provides a thrilling soundtrack as you rocket down the straightaway with your Porsche Cayenne.
Interior
Shown first on the Taycan, the Porsche Driver Experience now delivers a streamlined infotainment experience inside the Porsche Cayenne. A revolutionary feature, the dashboard of the Cayenne prominently boasts a remarkable 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch central Porsche Communication Management (PCM), and even an available 10.9-inch display passenger-side display. Without bothering the driver, passengers now have the option to stream content and access separate infotainment controls. Both comfort and ergonomics have been improved by relocating the gear selector to the upper portion of the dashboard, leaving manually adjustable air vent controls and a haptic volume knob in the center stack. Audio enthusiasts will appreciate the optional BOSE® Surround Sound system and its concert-like quality. There’s also an available optimized head-up display that lets you keep your eyes safely on the road while monitoring key information.
Design
While maintaining a strong visual connection to its predecessors, the Cayenne adopts bold design elements that hint at how this generation builds upon its legacy. Enlarged air intakes in the front fascia along with crisp horizontal light edges create a wider, more athletic appearance. The cargo area volume with the rear seats raised measures an impressive 27.3 cubic feet, great for bringing all of your essentials along for the journey. The standard HD Matrix Design LED headlights enhance the visual appeal of the Cayenne while providing illumination with exceptional clarity. Bold alloy wheel designs ranging from 20 to 22 inches in size provide the Cayenne with an unmistakable look, both at a standstill and while in motion.
Driver Assistance
Another signature component of the Porsche Cayenne is its comprehensive list of driver assistance technologies, designed to support and safeguard the driver. Standard Active Speed Limit Assist also relies on Traffic Sign Recognition when engaging cruise control. Going one step further, optional Adaptive Cruise Control features Evasion Assist which is able to support the driver in an emergency obstacle avoidance maneuver. Turn Assist scans oncoming traffic when making a left-hand turn at speeds up to 6 MPH and brings the vehicle to a complete stop if the potential for a collision is detected. Available Porsche InnoDrive has been enhanced with Active Lane Keep and Intersection Assist, providing assistance in traffic jams or on highways. As a whole, these advanced features help keep you one step ahead of danger behind the wheel of the Porsche Cayenne.
