The 434-hp Cayenne S goes from 0 - 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, same as the SUV.

Porsche Cayenne Coupe (2020 – Present)

The Cayenne Coupe is a version of Porsche's largest SUV with a heavy dose of extra swagger. Porsche introduced the new variant a year after the debut of the third-generation Cayenne, for the 2020 model year. While we like the look of the coupe, it feels out of place on the base Cayenne (which is more a family SUV choice). A nice package, but we would recommend spending a bit more and going for the Cayenne S or GTS. Read More
