2026 Porsche Cayenne S

The 2026 Cayenne is Porsche's luxury SUV, offered as a traditional SUV and a sleeker coupe-like variant. It competes with the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Range Rover Sport, but brings Porsche's sports-car DNA to the segment. The Cayenne handles with remarkable poise for a large SUV, with precise steering and strong brakes that inspire confidence. Inside, the cabin is impeccably built with high-quality materials, and the coupe body trades a bit of cargo space for a sportier profile. All models feature a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a digital instrument cluster. The Cayenne S swaps the base V6 for a 4.0L V8, and adds adaptive dampers, red brake calipers, and 20-inch wheels as standard. Its 4.0L V8 makes 468 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, hitting 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and returning 18 mpg combined. The steel-spring suspension with PASM keeps body motions controlled, but the ride is firmer than the air-sprung models above it.
