About the 2025 Porsche Cayenne

3rd generation Cayenne (E3, introduced for 2019), second year after the major 2024 refresh.

Porsche positions the Cayenne as the SUV for buyers who need everyday usefulness without giving up the sharp responses expected from the brand. Its message centers on sports-car-like driving feel, long-distance comfort, off-road ability, and a highly digital cabin. In this class, the Cayenne stands out less for maximum cargo room or value and more for steering feel, broad powertrain choice, and the way it blends luxury-SUV practicality with genuine performance character.

The 2025 range stretches from the 348-hp turbo V6 base model to plug-in hybrids designed for daily electric driving and longer trips. The returning GTS is the driver-focused step below the Turbo GT, with a 493-hp V8, lowered adaptive air suspension, a sport exhaust, and Race-Tex cabin trim. At the top end, the 729-hp Turbo E-Hybrid combines V8 and electric power, while the coupe-only 650-hp Turbo GT remains the sharpest gas model.

What changed, by category

Powertrain

The GTS returns in SUV and Coupe form with a 493-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8.

Styling

Tech

Ambient lighting, Surround View with Active Parking Support, soft-close doors, and an improved PM2.5 cabin filter become standard across the lineup. A heated steering wheel also becomes standard on the base Cayenne, E-Hybrid, S, and S E-Hybrid.
