2021 Porsche Cayenne Base

The Cayenne is Porsche's mid-size SUV, the one that brought sports-car feel to a family hauler. You'll notice the steering is quick and precise, and the brakes bite hard, so it drives smaller than it is. The cabin is driver-focused with high-quality materials, and the rear seats fold flat for generous cargo space. Expect higher running costs than a typical SUV, but the performance and build quality justify the premium. The Base Cayenne is the entry point, giving you the same sharp chassis and premium cabin as the range without the hybrid or V8 powertrains. Its 3.0L I6 makes 335 horsepower and pairs with a smooth eight-speed automatic, delivering confident acceleration and an EPA-rated 20 mpg combined. The standard steel springs ride well, but the optional adaptive air suspension transforms the highway comfort and off-road capability.
