The 2024 Porsche Cayenne gets handling and tech upgrades, while the S model graduates from a turbo V-6 to a turbo V-8 with more power and fewer emissions.
for inspiration, the third-generation refresh of Porsche’s bestselling model represents its most significant update since it was launched new in 2002 to the consternation of Porsche purists. It was an unquestionable success, and Porsche needs it to stay that way.
Instead, I tested the projected volume model, the Cayenne S. It uses a heavily modified 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 making 468 hp and 442 lb-ft, which is 34 hp and 37 lb-ft more than the old V-6 it replaces in Cayenne S models. Porsche said it couldn’t improve V-6 performance and meet emissions regulations, so it turned to the new V-8 that better limits emissions and fuel consumption in high power situations.
The new V-8’s neatest trick was how quietly it remained in the background. Even under mild throttle to maintain speed, it emitted only a steady, reassuring thrum. Provoke it from Normal to Sport mode, or poke it with your toe, however, and the optional sport exhaust burbles and the engine barks like some well-trained Narco dog let loose on a border bust.
It also came in the $6,400 Coupe body style, bringing the tester to somewhere in the $120,000 range. Like 30% of Cayenne buyers, I prefer the Coupe for its more proportional looks and its better feel behind the wheel. I can’t explain why. It’s 65 pounds heavier than the SUV and comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, and the outward vision over the shoulder is much worse than the SUV, all of which should work against its favor. It doesn’t.
