2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe - Outstanding Innovative Sports SUV

Thanks: Cars of MRD 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 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 V-6 with a 468-hp twin-turbo V-8. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is expected to start around $ and go up to $ depending on the trim and options. Cayenne Coupe: $85,950 Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid: $97,350 Cayenne Coupe S: $103,750 Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid: $106,050 Cayenne Coupe GTS: $125,000 (est) Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Cayenne Coupe has several powertrain options to choose from. For starters, there’s a 348-hp turbocharged 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 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. Read More
