2023 Porsche Cayenne
Starting at $73.650

Highs Strong powertrains, sports-sedan driving traits, impressive 7700 pounds of max trailering.
Lows Easily optioned into six-figure territory, rides too stiffly on the largest tires, optional PSCB brakes are touchy.
Verdict If you consider an SUV a necessary evil, know that the fun-to-drive Cayenne is a bona fide superhero that's ready to save the day.

Overview

People love SUVs because the space is useful, the cabin is comfy, and some come with incredible towing capability. The Porsche Cayenne offers all of that but what puts it above the usual snore-utility vehicles is its rapid pulse. It's fun to drive and quick on its feet thanks to either a 335-hp turbo V-6, 434-hp twin-turbo V-6, or a more potent 460-hp twin-turbo V-8 exclusively available on the sporty Cayenne GTS. A 455-hp plug-in hybrid is feisty too, with a penchant for fuel saving as the most efficient Cayenne available. Its fiercest competitors, such as the Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 all have lower starting prices but they also have trouble keeping up with the peppery Cayenne when the driving gets speedy.
What's New for 2023?

Porsche keeps almost everything the same this year for the 2023 Cayenne, though Chromite Black Metallic paint has replaced the previously offered Jet Black Metallic.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Cayenne: $73,650
Cayenne E-Hybrid: $87,950

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
If you want more giddy-up than what the base Cayenne's 335-hp turbo V-6 provides, the 434-hp Cayenne S offers an even zestier setup courtesy of its twin-turbo V-6. The plug-in hybrid (called the E-Hybrid) marries an electric motor and a turbocharged V-6 for a combined 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The Cayenne GTS boasts a 460-hp twin-turbo V-8 with a great-sounding exhaust note and breathtaking acceleration. All engines pair with an astute eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While making anything that weighs more than two tons move gracefully is challenging, the engineers in Stuttgart were successful with the Cayenne. The S model that we tested moved quietly and steadily at highway speeds before seamlessly transitioning to twisty sections, where it showcased surprising athleticism for its size. However, the largest rollers diminish its ride quality on uneven roads. Most models have performance options that include adaptive dampers with or without an adjustable air suspension, four-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, and active anti-roll bars for flatter cornering. The Cayenne's brakes can be upgraded to Porsche's tungsten-coated iron rotors (called Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, or PSCB) or costly carbon-ceramic stoppers. The base model we tested had neither setup but still needed only 159 feet to stop from 70 mph.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Porsche essentially provides a blank canvas inside the Cayenne for customers to outfit as they see fit. Everything from the interior trim to the seatbelt colors to the surface materials can be individually selected. The driver faces a snazzy gauge cluster with an analog tachometer flanked by two 7.0-inch screens that display selectable information. In addition to traditional options such as heated and ventilated front and rear seats, the Cayenne offers desirable upgrades, including more supportive seats, massaging front seats, four-zone climate control, and more. Whereas the rival Audi Q7 and the Volvo XC90 have three rows, the Porsche has only two. Still, its back seat is adjustable and provides plenty of stretch-out space. The Cayenne entices Porsche enthusiasts with ample passenger capacity and cargo volume, which are obviously far greater than any 911's. It's the largest Porsche SUV and provides 27 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats and up to 60 cubes with the seats folded flat.
