2022 Porsche Cayenne: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The most important update for the 2022 Porsche Cayenne is the newer PCM 6.0 touchscreen system, which brings Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, improved navigation and over-the-air updates across the lineup. This is not a redesign, but the range also expands with a track-focused Turbo GT and three Platinum Edition models.
About the 2022 Porsche Cayenne
3rd generation (2019-2023), fourth model year, pre-refresh
Porsche positions the Cayenne as the sports car of the midsize luxury SUV class: a practical two-row SUV that still feels unmistakably like a Porsche from the driver’s seat. Its core draw is the blend of sharp handling, strong powertrains, high towing capability, and everyday usefulness, wrapped in a premium cabin with extensive tech and personalization. Compared with rivals, the Cayenne’s defining pitch is that it sacrifices very little driver involvement while still working as a family and travel vehicle.
The lineup stretches from the turbo-V6 base model and 455-hp plug-in E-Hybrid to the 453-hp V8 GTS and 541-hp Turbo. The new 631-hp Turbo GT is a harder-edged, four-seat Cayenne Coupe with carbon-ceramic brakes and track-tuned air suspension. The Platinum Editions take a more comfort-focused approach, adding Satin Platinum details and extra luxury equipment to the base Cayenne, E-Hybrid and S.
