About the Porsche Cayenne Coupe
Engineered for performance, the dynamic Porsche Cayenne Coupe is a bold interpretation of the fastback SUV concept. You’ll have your selection of two turbocharged engines along with a performance-oriented plug-in hybrid drivetrain, each offering potent power delivery to suit all types of drivers. Infusing the confident presence and versatility of an SUV with the agility and poise of a sports car, the Cayenne Coupe is ready to compete with the most established entrants in the performance SUV segment. Even with its distinctive sloping roofline, the rear seat headroom of the Cayenne Coupe remains uncompromised and is nearly identical to the traditional Cayenne SUV. Bold 20-inch alloy wheels and a standard adaptive suspension are representative of the impressive performance capabilities of the Cayenne Coupe. Use the most current generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) for uninhibited access to your favorite multimedia inside the Cayenne Coupe.
What the Critics Say
“The compromises to its cargo space in no way hinder the Cayenne coupe from successfully translating Porsche's storied sports-car attributes to an SUV format. Not only is the mid-size, two-row ute surprisingly entertaining and pleasing to drive, the more powerful versions are blindingly quick.” — Car and Driver
“Factor in the decades of motorsport success, quality of engineering, unrestricted German autobahns, knowledge, and thrills. They all seem to filter into the Porsche driving experience — every turn of the wheel, every squeeze of the throttle, and every prod of the brake pedal. Yet the Cayenne Coupe remains civilized and easily drivable in any situation.” — Kelley Blue Book
What’s New for 2024
For 2024, the Cayenne Coupe has been completely reworked. Although the exterior design is still undeniably Cayenne, each and every body panel has been changed in some way. The changes to the interior are more dramatic, including a new steering wheel which was taken from the 911. The gear selector has been moved to the dash, and there is now an available secondary infotainment touchscreen on the passenger side. The Cayenne S Coupe has a new engine, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 to replace the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6. This comes with more power, but the trims that didn’t switch up engines got more power as well.
Porsche Cayenne Coupe Features
Eye-Catching Style & Dynamic Performance
While it does share many similarities with the Cayenne SUV, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe offers a more athletic appearance thanks to a 1.9-inch lower roofline, steeply-raked windshield, and a striking active spoiler positioned below the lower edge of the rear windshield. Contemporary design combines with an aerodynamic profile to deliver maximum performance potential with outstanding capability for everyday life.
The Cayenne Coupe offers drivers their choice of two potent turbocharged engine options, as well as a sophisticated plug-in hybrid drivetrain. These include a 348-horsepower turbocharged V6, or the muscular twin-turbo V8 that delivers an astounding 468 horsepower or 650-horsepower. Additional performance options include the iconic Sport Chrono package, speed-sensitive power steering, and Porsche Active Suspension Management. Available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) deliver exceptional resistance to heat and brake fade while enhancing stopping power. E-Hybrid variants deliver an unrivaled combination of remarkable efficiency and instantaneous throttle response.
Driver-Centric Interior
Designed to support the driver throughout the journey, the premium interior of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe has all the amenities you need to get the most out of your drive - both on and off the track. For clear views of the sky overhead, its standard panoramic glass roof measures 23.2 square feet. An exclusive option found on Cayenne Coupe models, houndstooth cloth seat inserts add style to the interior and offer greater breathability. Even with its lowered roofline, the rear seats have also been lowered to ensure that no compromises are made in terms of rear-seat headroom as compared to the traditional Cayenne SUV. A high-resolution 12.3-inch Porsche Communication Management system is centrally positioned within the minimalist dash design of the Cayenne Coupe. You’ll have your choice of either a BOSE® Surround Sound System or Burmester® 3D High-End Surround Sound System, each featuring impressive clarity and depth.
Technology & Innovation
Another distinctive package available on the Porsche Cayenne Coupe is the Lightweight Sport package. Select this package to receive a signature sports exhaust, massive 22-inch GT Design wheels, a contoured carbon roof, and the Sport Design package with carbon diffuser trim accents on the exterior. Optional LED main headlights with HD matrix beams including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) offer 64,000 LEDs which can be adapted to the current traffic situation by switching or dimming accordingly. This innovation helps reduce blinding to oncoming vehicles while giving you crisp visibility for full concentration behind the wheel. It also includes electronic cornering lights along with an intersection light based on navigation data. An updated, full-color Head-Up Display enhances engagement and awareness.
