2024 Porsche Cayenne - Magnificent High-Performance SUV!

Thanks: Ava Gmbh Moscow 2025 Porsche Cayenne Starting at $86.695 Highs: Handling worthy of the Porsche badge, gutsy powertrains, SUV practicality helps make it a defensible purchase decision. Lows: Almost everything costs extra, dashboard is a whole mess of screens, no three-row option. Verdict: Rather than compromising Porsche's sporting image, the Cayenne SUV defines it, with soul-satisfying speed-and handling. Overview Just like the 911 sports car, the 2025 Porsche Cayenne SUV serves as the de facto benchmark for driving enjoyment in its respective segment. 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. The Cayenne is also surprisingly easy to live with as a daily driver, with a comfortable cabin, a generously sized cargo bay, and plentiful luxury and tech features. Excellence doesn't come cheap, though, and to outfit a Cayenne with the most desirable features adds big numbers to the bottom line. Those in the know understand that you get what you pay for though, and the Cayenne is certainly worth the investment. For even higher performance (bordering on insanity) in a Porsche SUV, consider the 650-hp Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT or the 729-hp Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, both of which we review separately. What's New for 2025? A 493-hp GTS model joins the Cayenne lineup for 2025. This racier variant uses the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 as the Cayenne S but gets a 25-hp power boost. It also inherits some performance-enhancing features from the outrageous Turbo GT model (reviewed separately), including a water-cooled all-wheel drive system and some suspension components designed to improve steering response. The GTS comes standard with the Sport Design package, which adds black exterior trim, dark bronze exhaust tips, and black wheels. Interior flourishes, including GTS logos on the headrest, are also included. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Porsche Cayenne starts at $86.695 and goes up to $126.895 depending on the trim and options. Base: $86,695 E-Hybrid: $99,195 S: $103,595 S E-Hybrid: $107,095 GTS: $126,895 Engine, Transmission, and Performance Porsche will let you spec the Cayenne in several ways, starting with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that makes 348 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid (called the E-Hybrid) marries an electric motor and a turbocharged V-6 for a combined 463 horsepower. The Cayenne S boasts a 468-hp twin-turbo V-8 with a great-sounding exhaust note and breathtaking acceleration; the GTS model gets the same engine but with 493 ponies. There's also an S E-Hybrid, which uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 and an electric motor for 512 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. All engines pair with an astute eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While making anything that weighs more than two tons move gracefully is challenging, the engineers in Stuttgart were successful with the Cayenne. When we sampled a Cayenne S we found it just as athletic and refined as last year's model. Adaptive dampers are now standard across the Cayenne lineup, and most trims will have additional performance options that include an adjustable air suspension, four-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, and active anti-roll bars for flatter cornering. 0–60-MPH Times When we tested the base Cayenne with the 348-hp turbocharged V-6 we recorded a brisk 4.7-second 60 mph time. The Cayenne S, GTS, and S E-Hybrid models will no doubt prove quicker, but we haven't had any of those on our test track yet. We did test the mechanically similar Cayenne S Coupe, which hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Read More ? Instagram ▶ ? Tiktok ▶
