2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe
Starting at $85.950
Overview
The Porsche Cayenne is an impressive SUV with all the performance most people could ever want, but the Cayenne Coupe gives it the looks to match its speed-with some sacrifice in rear-passenger headroom and cargo space. The Coupe-ified Cayenne is built with the same guts as the boxier SUV version and carries that same Porsche sports car DNA along with its more aggressive proportions. In its most subtle form, the Cayenne Coupe comes with a 348-hp turbocharged V-6 but the fire gets as hot as 468 horsepower for Cayenne Coupe S's twin-turbo V-8. There's also a plug-in hybrid that gets help from a battery pack to produce 463 horsepower. If your family has outgrown the 911, the Cayenne Coupe is an alternative worthy of supporting your inner speed addiction. However, for even more adrenaline-inducing driving, we'd suggest reaching deeper into the savings account to acquire the more powerful Cayenne Turbo, reviewed separately.
What's New for 2024?
Porsche gives the Cayenne Coupe a mid-cycle refresh this year that is tougher to spot from the outside than from the driver's seat. Inside, the dashboard has been thoroughly updated with more screens, a new steering wheel, and a new toggle-type dash-mounted shift lever. There's an update in power this year too: the turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 base engine gets 13 more horsepower than before, while the E-Hybrid gains 9 horses. The Cayenne Coupe S nets the biggest power increase as Porsche replaces its 434-hp twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 with a 468-hp twin-turbo V-8.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Cayenne Coupe has several powertrain options to choose from. For starters, there's a 348-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6. The E-Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid that uses an electric motor working with a turbocharged V-6 for a total output of 463 horsepower. The Cayenne S gets a 468-hp twin-turbo V-8 with a penchant for rapid acceleration. 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. The top-of-the-line GTS trim hasn't been confirmed yet, but we expect it to produce the most horsepower with a stiffer sport-tuned suspension and an aggressive tire setup. All powertrains mate to an eight-speed automatic transmission and come with all-wheel drive. While we haven't driven this newest iteration of Cayenne yet, we did sample a prototype and were impressed by its performance. Options such as adjustable air suspension, four-wheel steering, and active anti-roll bars for flatter cornering are available. We'll update this space with performance metrics after we strap our testing equipment to one later this year.
