The Porsche Cayenne is one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in its class and backs it up with an impressive interior and plenty of opportunity for customization. In typical Porsche fashion, it's expensive. But there's nothing better if you need a family-friendly SUV to complement your 911.

Part of the third Cayenne generation introduced for 2019
Overview
No matter what you're looking for from your midsize luxury SUV, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne probably delivers it. As with all Porsches, the Cayenne prioritizes performance and driver engagement, but the SUV still offers loads of luxury and tech and it's highly customizable. Still, this latest-generation Cayenne has been out since 2019 without a whole lot of changes so it's nice to see that Porsche is making a raft of updates to the 2024 Cayenne.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Porsche Cayenne 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.
Edmunds spotlight: New technology for the 2024 Cayenne
On the inside, the Cayenne sports a new 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster (the same one used in the all-electric Taycan), a redesigned center console with new climate controls, and a relocated gear shifter that's now to the right of the steering wheel on the dashboard. The 12.3-inch center touchscreen hasn't changed, but it displays Porsche's latest infotainment system. There's also a new optional 10.9-inch touchscreen that's placed in front of the passenger, a feature that's not very common, and more standard driver assist features. Finally, Porsche has improved the Cayenne's engine lineup. The engines are more powerful and the available plug-in hybrid powertrain, the E-Hybrid, has considerably more all-electric driving range.
Competitors to consider
The Cayenne's 2024 refresh has made the Cayenne an even more compelling luxury SUV, particularly if performance is one of your higher priorities. Still, it might be hard to pick among other options including the Audi Q8, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE as well as their performance variants. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to get our in-depth review of the Cayenne's comfort, utility and more.

edmunds TESTED
The Porsche Cayenne is one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in its class and backs it up with an impressive interior and plenty of opportunity for customization. In typical Porsche fashion, it's expensive. But there's nothing better if you need a family-friendly SUV to complement your 911.
How does the Cayenne drive? You don't expect a large SUV to feel so quick. But when it wears a Porsche badge, it's expected. Even the base Cayenne unspools steady streams of power from any double-digit speed. The transmission is well calibrated for smooth and prompt shifts, but the brake pedal takes some extra familiarization to consistently get smooth stops.
Handling is superb. Our test vehicle — with 21-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension and the Sport Chrono package — produces seemingly endless amounts of grip in curves. The steering is a little heavier than a typical SUV's requires but certainly plays into the Cayenne's sporting pretensions.
Comfort
8.0/10
How comfortable is the Cayenne? Porsche's secret sauce for combining athletic and confident handling with a firm and cushy luxury ride quality is on full display in the Cayenne. The ride quality is firm but comfortable — a Porsche hallmark. Airflow from the climate system can be a little weak at times, but cranking up fan speed also cranks up the fan noise.
The standard seats stay comfortable over long distances for a range of body types, though drivers pushing it through corners might want for additional lateral bolstering. Wind and road noise is a bit elevated for a luxury SUV.

How’s the interior? Most of the controls are easy to reach and well labeled. But there are no real buttons for anything beyond the climate control, and that means you'll be taking your eyes off the road to operate things. The menu system can be a bit cumbersome to navigate too, especially in the instrument panel. That said, the digital instrument panel shows a good variety of information, and the wide display allows for a lot of info on screen at once.
All Porsches are meant to be driver's cars, so it's no surprise that there's a lot of adjustment for the wheel and seat. You can sit low to feel more like a hatchback or higher for a more traditional SUV seating position. Getting in and out is relatively easy. For visibility, the Cayenne's seating position affords a good view out of the front, but the view to the side and rear is limited by narrow windows. We also had some intermittent issues with the backup camera.
Technology
8.0/10
How’s the tech? The wide touchscreen features one of the best interfaces in the class that's easy and intuitive to use and configurable. The navigation map is easy to read, and the available voice commands allow you to input an address or adjust other things like the climate control. Our vehicle was also fitted with the available Bose audio system. It's good, but most of our staff thought the audio quality didn't fully match the price.
While blind-spot warning is standard, features like adaptive cruise control must be added as options. That's a drawback considering you get these same driver aids as standard equipment in rivals.
Storage
8.0/10
How’s the storage? The Cayenne offers real daily usefulness, though it has less cargo space than many competitors. Storage in the cabin is decent. The center console bin is still a bit small, but the door pockets are useful and offer enough space for tall water bottles.
Got small children? You'll be able to fit child seats without a problem thanks to easily accessed Isofix anchors. If your toys are the kind you haul around, the Cayenne can tow more than 7,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Fuel Economy
7.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The base Cayenne gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving while the V8 engine drops to 17 mpg combined. Both figures are below average for a midsize luxury SUV, though Porsche does offer the E-Hybrid plug-in hybrid versions that can help you get better fuel economy. We've been able to generally match the EPA's estimates in our own real-world driving tests.
Value
8.0/10
Is the Cayenne a good value? It's hard to qualify the Cayenne as a great value, especially when many rivals offer a similar luxury experience for less. But even when you're not exploring the Cayenne's unrivaled performance limits, the top-notch build quality justifies the cost. Once you plunk down money at the dealership, it'll be a while before you have to shell out for unforeseen costs. The Cayenne's basic and powertrain warranties, along with roadside assistance, are good for four years/50,000 miles.
Wildcard
8.5/10
Is it an SUV with a sports-car complex? Or a sports car built with the utility of an SUV? With the Cayenne, it doesn't matter. It goes fast and handles like a lower and smaller car, plus it can still act as an adventure getaway vehicle — a true best-of-both-worlds proposition.
Which Cayenne does Edmunds recommend?
Get a Cayenne in the S or S E-Hybrid for all-around appeal and you'll still have some room for extras. The S comes with a V8 engine, which best complements this SUV's sporty nature. Or if you want power and enhanced fuel economy, the S E-Hybrid is the way to go. Of the Cayenne's many options, the extra driver assist features from the Porsche InnoDrive package are well worth getting.

This is my third Porsche. My other two cars right now are a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Diesel and a 981 Boxster S (manual). The car was leased new and has around 600 miles on it so these are initial impressions.
Lets address the pros first. The car is very fast and handles exceptionally well. When is Sport or Sport + the car accelerates faster than my Boxster S (or at least … feels that way) and handles the curves superbly well. The seats are comfortable and there is a lot of room in the back seat. The battery gives you about 20 miles of range on fully electric which is speedy enough to get you around short errands easily.
Now for the cons. First, my vehicle had an MSRP of around $91K so pretty basic trim. Premium package plus the ventilated seats. But this is still $91K! I compare that against what I got in my Jeep Grand Cherokee (~$45K) and the value is simply not there (even for a Porsche).
Second, the are some pretty bad fit and finish quality issues. The paint is a joke and will scratch and get holes it in as if it were Play Doh. It also has an area where it looks like the paint dripped. How this got through quality control in Bratislava is concerning. I've toured the factory in Stuttgart and it wouldn't have gotten through those guys. I had to get ceramic coating because the paint is so bad and its a lease! There are also panels inside the car that do not align well (e.g., A pillar). Finally, I hear rattles with certain radio songs (at moderate volume) and it just doesn't seem as well put together as the JGC when going over bumps which is nuts to say about a Porsche.
Third, with the government subsidy the e-hybrid is the one to get over the S but if I were buying and not leasing I'd get the base. The hybrid tech is truly amazing (good job to the engineers), its hard to tell when the vehicle goes from electric to gas. However, if I were planning on owning (as opposed to leasing) I'd worry long-term about the impact of the hybrid drive and power train on the engine. The car needs to engage the ICE engine at any time (even if cold) and it will constantly need to go back and forth which is a lot for any engine to handle. The range of 20 very limiting and once its over, you don't have the speed anymore (just the weight). Overall, if you want an electric car, get a Tesla Porsche is just not there yet and the uncertainty of long-term residuals is too much to buy vs. lease. Plus the tech is changing at an exponential rate.
Fourth: Porsche, please go pick up a 2014-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and make it a required course for the folks who design your ergonomics. I've had Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, MB, and other Porsches and this is the worst ergonomic design I've ever seen. Simple things like being able to select previous track on the steering wheel, hang grocery bags in the back seats (or rear), and ability to easily control music are impossible in the new Cayenne. The controls look great but I think this car is a step back in this respect relative to the previous generation.
Fifth: The Bose Stereo system is not great. I have a lot of Bose products (e.g., headphones, speakers, stereo in Boxster) and this one is just not as good. It sounds only slightly better than the system in my JGC. I've tried every setting combination, multiple different sources, and even Tidal which streams at more than CD quality. Its just not a great system.
Having owned a couple of other Porsches, this doesn't feel of the same quality. Frankly it doesn't feel special. I think they need to bring the production back to Germany ASAP. Will report back after a few months.
Car breaking safety issue
1 out of 5 stars
DefectivePorscheBuyer, 04/29/2021
2020 Porsche Cayenne S 4dr SUV AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
My new Cayenne 2020 S had three different issues within the first week. The are four (4) different rattling noises, a dangerous braking issue (sudden jolts forward when you're trying to slow down) and an app that rarely connects. I'm now fighting with the dealership as they say these issues are "normal". Suffice to say, I've filed a complaint with the NHTSA and will pursue other legal … and non-legal means until they resolve this.
I would strongly recommend not buying the Cayenne. The breaking issue simply makes it unsafe.
3rd time is a charm
4 out of 5 stars
DM Taylor, 12/29/2019
2019 Porsche Cayenne 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
This is my 3rd Porsche. Previously owned a Boxster S and traded in a 2015 Macan S for the base 2019 Cayenne. Have put 4,000 miles on it over five months. Picked it over a Panamera.
Likes are the interior which is the most comfortable and elegant I have seen. Actually prefer the Cayenne’s ZF transmission over the PDK in the Macan! The Macan was always sluggish to get the turbo to spin … up. I always felt the programming was off.
The handling and acceleration are top shelf. Reliability has been bulletproof and the Biscayne Blue get s many compliments
Dislikes: The Macan could scroll through my favorite radio stations using the thumb ball on the steering wheel, and also adjust volume. Can’t do that on the Cayenne. Macan also displayed the speed limit on the dash. Again missing from Cayenne. I have completely given up on using my foot to get the rear to open. It has never worked for me, and when the dealer tried it, most of the time they couldn’t get it to open either.
A Driver’s SUV
5 out of 5 stars

2020 Porsche Cayenne 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Excellent vehicle. Buy a Cayenne if...
-You want the best handling mid-sized SUV in the world. Great handling, road feel, break feel. Look at Car and Driver ratings.
-You want a refined, elegant interior (after upgrades) that doesn’t look like a futuristic Japanese robot.
-You want a luxury SUV which is less common than an X5 or GLE
-You want to have fun, but you also want a big comfy … seat.
-You want a highly reliable brand.
-You can afford to pay over $1000 per year in regular maintenance.
Issues to be aware of:
2019 was the first model year. Early builds have some gremlins.
Infotainment has occasional bugs, but nothing compared to an X5.
Breaks can be crunchy or make squealing noise.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Porsche Cayenne, so we've included reviews for other years of the Cayenne since its last redesign.
Future Cars to Get Excited About | The Best New & Upcoming Cars for 2024-2025
New year, new cars! There are tons of all-new or updated vehicles coming to market next year, and we're here to tell you all about the most exciting models. Join Edmunds' Brian Wong and Alistair Weaver for a full rundown of 2024's upcoming cars!
The X5 is also refreshed for 2024 with revised front and rear styling, improved engines, new display screens and updated tech. The X5 is a superb all-around luxury SUV delivering lots of performance, luxury and tech. The Cayenne's superior handling, though, makes it more fun to drive. Both SUVs share similar engine lineups (V6, plug-in hybrid and V8), but the X5 offers a high-performance model, the 617-horsepower X5 M Competition. The Cayenne's high-performance GT model is only available on the Cayenne Coupe.
The GLE is another rival receiving a refresh for 2024. Mercedes updated the GLE with new front and rear styling and updated powertrains, including a new plug-in hybrid model called the GLE 450e. The GLE's impressive interior, top-notch luxury and class-leading tech make it one of our class favorites. But when it comes to performance and engaging driving dynamics, the Cayenne is the king of the hill.
Yet another of the Cayenne's competitors gets refreshed for 2024. The Q8's updated styling and tech make the Audi an even more compelling choice. The sporty version of the Q7 boasts sleek coupe-like styling and excellent handling. The Q8 doesn't offer an efficient plug-in hybrid model as many in its class do, but its base V6 is potent, and you can upgrade to the 500-hp SQ8 or the 591-hp RS Q8.
The Cayenne is the bigger of Porsche's two crossovers. It's been on sale, in various different forms, for the past 20 years, and is the Stuttgart automaker's answer to the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. For 2024, the Cayenne is getting a hearty series of upgrades that should placate the Porsche faithful until it's fully redesigned. Bear in mind, this particular Cayenne has been on sale since 2019 without much in the way of change, and this face-lift introduces new tech, reworked powertrains and a refreshed look.
It also simplifies the lineup in a big way. Only the base Cayenne, Cayenne S, Turbo GT (which is only available in the fastback coupe body style) and Cayenne E-Hybrid are living on with the refresh. That means models like the Turbo, Turbo S E-Hybrid and the GTS are all dropped for 2024. But don't discount Porsche from potentially bringing these models back in the future.
What the refresh takes away in terms of trims, it gives in new standard equipment. Blind-spot warning, lane keeping assistance, keyless entry and a wireless charger are now included on all Cayennes. Porsche's Matrix design LED headlights and Porsche Active Suspension Management (Porsche-lingo for adaptive suspension) are also now standard kit. This iteration of PASM features new shock absorbers with two-valve technology that have separate settings for compression and rebound. What that means for buyers is the new Cayenne will be more comfortable in its Normal setting and more taut for sharper handling in its Sport and Sport+ settings.
What's under the Cayenne's hood?
The big news is that the V8 is back in the Cayenne S ... again. Depending on the model year, the Cayenne S and GTS have waffled between V6 and V8 power, and with the discontinuation of the GTS, there's now room in the lineup for an eight-cylinder S. The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 makes 468 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque (more power, but less torque than the V8 that was in the GTS). The most powerful Cayenne is now the Turbo GT model, and it gets an extra 19 ponies underhood, bringing output to a nice, round 650 hp.
The more affordable variants benefit from upgrades too. The turbocharged V6 in the base Cayenne is bumped to 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque — gains of 13 hp and 36 lb-ft. That V6 is also used in the plug-in hybrid version, the E-Hybrid. The PHEV Cayenne takes the V6 and mates it with a 174-horsepower electric motor, bringing total system output to 463 hp. The hybrid's battery pack has grown considerably in size from 17.9 kWh to 25.9 kWh, which should grant more electric-only driving range than the current 15 miles, but the EPA hasn't rated it yet.
How's the Cayenne's interior?
For 2024 the Cayenne's interior gets a pretty big shakeup. The previous car's instrument cluster setup featured a mix of physical and digital gauges, but no more. The 12.6-inch gauge cluster has been taken straight out of the Taycan and is now fully digital and customizable with various different readouts. The center stack also gets a redo, with Macan-like switches for the HVAC controls. There's still a large panel of piano black plastic in the center console, underneath which rest backlit buttons for most of the car's functions, but the gear selector has been removed. It now sits to the right of the steering wheel, protruding slightly from the dashboard and is very similar to the one in the Taycan.
All other vehicle settings are handled by the Porsche Communication Management (that's fancy Porsche talk for the infotainment display). It's the same 12.3 inches as in last year's Cayenne and includes all of the software updates that Porsche made for the 2023 model year. These include a new menu structure and a more colorful icon array. Some functions, like the drive modes, are all controlled via the infotainment now as well, a change Porsche initially made in the 911. In addition to the center screen, there's also an optional screen that sits in front of the passenger. It measures 10.9 inches across and will allow the passenger to stream various media types. In order to prevent driver distraction, this screen features a special tinting, which blocks it from the driver's view.
Edmunds says
The new Cayenne can be ordered right now and will hit dealerships later on this year. We can't wait to see them literally everywhere.
The Porsche Cayenne might be the bulkiest vehicle in Porsche's lineup, but that does not take away from the fact that it is an impressive all-around machine. The wide selection of powertrains and add-ons available give this SUV desirability and, perhaps, a justifiable high cost. The Porsche Cayenne does a great job of offering sports car qualities in a luxury midsize SUV.
Recent spy shots suggest that the 2024 Porsche Cayenne will receive midcycle updates. With the overhaul we might see a face-lift bringing a sportier front fascia, including a larger grille and a redesigned bumper. We also expect to see modifications on the rear end with smoother lines and modified taillights. Images indicate significant updates inside the cabin with new upholstery options, a fully digital gauge cluster and a revised infotainment system. As for powertrains, there aren't any clues as of now, but we wouldn't be surprised to see all the variants carry over but with more power.
The Cayenne is fast, fun and luxurious. Advancements to any of its facets will just make it better. Shoppers in this segment have other impressive options such as the Audi Q8, BMW X5, Genesis GV80 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, but the Cayenne outshines them all with its performance.
