People love SUVs because they have useful space, the cabin is comfy; plus, some come with credible towing capability. The Porsche Cayenne offers all of that but what puts it above the regular SUVs is its rapid pulse.
It’s fun to drive and fast. By leasing a 2023 Porsche Cayenne, you’ll have to choose between a 355-hp turbo V-6, 434-hp twin-turbo V-6, or a more potent 460-hp twin-turbo V-8 exclusively available on the sporty Cayenne GTS.
Its fiercest rivals, such as the Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 all have lower starting prices but they also have trouble keeping up with the peppery Cayenne when the driving gets speedy. You can say that the Porsche lineup is quite exciting and fun to own.
Engine & Performance
The Cayenne GTS boasts a 460-hp twin-turbo V-8 with the great-sounding exhaust note and breathtaking acceleration. 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.
The S model that we tested moved quietly and steadily at highway speeds before seamlessly transitioning to twisty sections, where it showcased surprising athleticism for its size. However, the largest rollers diminish its ride quality on uneven roads.
Most models have performance options that include adaptive dampers with or without an adjustable air suspension, four-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, and active anti-roll bars for flatter cornering.
The Cayenne’s brakes can be upgraded to Porsche’s tungsten-coated iron rotors (called Porsche Surface Coated Brakes) or costly carbon-ceramic stoppers.
Fuel Economy
The Cayenne E-Hybrid is the thriftiest of the bunch, earning a combined city and highway rating of 21 mpg. It also has an all-electric range of 17 miles.
The base Cayenne and Cayenne S share a 22-mpg highway rating, but in the city, they’re rated at 18 and 17 mpg, respectively. Despite its unimpressive highway number, the plug-in hybrid is the most eco-friendly option for folks who live in urban areas.
Interior
Porsche essentially provides a blank canvas inside the Cayenne for customers to outfit as they see fit. Everything from the interior trim to the seatbelt colors to the surface materials can be individually selected. The driver faces a snazzy gauge cluster with an analog tachometer flanked by two 7.0-inch screens that display selectable information.
In addition to traditional options such as heated and ventilated front and rear seats, the Cayenne offers desirable upgrades, including more supportive seats, massaging front seats, four-zone climate control, and more.
The Cayenne entices Porsche enthusiasts with its ample passenger capacity and cargo volume, which are obviously far greater than any 911’s. It’s the largest Porsche SUV and provides 27 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats and up to 60 cubes with the seats folded flat.
Interior cubby storage is unremarkable, with most small items seeking refuge in the door pockets or the shallow center-console bin. Every Cayenne includes a power-operated liftgate which is the optional passive-entry system that allows it to be opened or closed with a foot gesture.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
The Cayenne is available with a bevy of driver-assistance technology to help keep occupants safe. Every model has forward-collision warning and parking sensors at both ends. It even supports night vision with an optional infrared camera.
The major safety features include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Stop-and-go technology
- Available blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Lane-departure warning
- Lane-keeping assist
