The 2024 Cayenne Coupe has a lot going for it. It's sporty and fun to drive. It also has a premium interior, a comfortable ride, and loads of color and wheel options to customize your Cayenne to your heart's content. But that customization comes at a cost, especially when the Cayenne Coupe's already high base price quickly inflates with added options.Read full review

The Cayenne Coupe is the fastback version of the regular Cayenne, Porsche's largest SUV. The midsize SUV was developed for performance and driver engagement. But this Porsche also offers plenty of tech and luxury features, provides excellent ride quality and offers lots of customization. It basically offers almost anything you're looking for in an SUV except for a third row and a large cargo area because of its sloping roofline. However, its high starting price puts it out of reach of many SUV shoppers. For 2024, the Cayenne Coupe and the separately reviewed Cayenne received a host of changes and upgrades.

Edmunds spotlight: All of the Cayenne Coupe's changes for 2024
Porsche refreshed the Cayenne Coupe's exterior and loaded it with new standard features including blind-spot warning, a wireless smartphone charger, LED adaptive headlights, and an adaptive suspension that's been tuned to deliver improved ride comfort and handling. Drivers will enjoy the new 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster and redesigned center console. The 12.3-inch center touchscreen now displays Porsche's latest infotainment system and there's a new optional 10.9-inch touchscreen for the front passenger. The Cayenne Coupe also has a revamped lineup that includes three plug-in hybrid models that boast larger battery packs for longer all-electric driving ranges. All models now make more power, most notably the Cayenne S Coupe, which now sports a 468-horsepower turbocharged V8.
Competitors to consider
The Cayenne Coupe offers even more for 2024, but if that high price tag has you on the fence, consider some of its rivals. The Porsche competes against other sporty coupe-like SUVs including the Audi Q8, the BMW X6, the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and the new Genesis GV80 Coupe. Like the Cayenne Coupe, each has performance versions but lacks a plug-in hybrid model. There's also the smaller Porsche Macan SUV, with a lower starting price, to consider. As for all-electric rivals, check out the Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron.

We drove the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
Performance
8.5/10
How does the Cayenne Coupe drive? If there's anything Porsche truly excels at, it's how its cars and SUVs drive and handle. Even in its base spec, the Cayenne is a capable and confident car on the road. It's not the quickest machine in its base V6-powered trim, though a 5.5-second 0 to 60 mph sprint at our test track is still pretty solid. Braking and handling performance were much better with short, even panic stops, and it offers nimble handling in corners. The Cayenne Coupe's 1.03 g skidpad figure is among the best we've seen from an SUV, though our test vehicle's optional summer tires, air suspension and rear-axle steering helped a lot here. The steering is particularly notable for an SUV, with precise responses and more feedback from the road than you get from other SUVs.
Around town, the Cayenne is generally easy to drive. Our biggest complaint is the aggressive stop-start system. It takes a second for the engine to fire up at a light and makes the Cayenne feel sluggish. We noticed the Cayenne could feel a little lazy from a stop, even with stop-start deactivated. Once you get moving, it's a different story. The V6 is peppy, and the transmission is smooth and responsive.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Cayenne Coupe? The Cayenne Coupe offers a variety of front seat options. Our test vehicle had the 18-way adjustable seats with full leather. The padding is firm but comfortable, and we appreciated being able to tighten the bolstering in a vehicle that corners as fast as this one does. This one was set up in the 2+2 configuration with rear bucket seats; an optional bench seat is available. Ride comfort is good with the optional air suspension, though the standard steel springs still feature adaptive dampers. You feel the road, but the Cayenne does a good job of soaking up most imperfections.
The three- or optional four-zone climate control system is easy to use, though the temperature display can wash out if you're looking at it with polarized sunglasses. It blows cold, though the air conditioning cuts out if the engine is off because of the stop-start system. Not great on a hot day. There's a mild amount of wind and road noise on the highway, and the engine is only really loud in Sport and Sport Plus mode.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Cayenne's interior is a mixed bag. Most of the controls are easy to reach and well labeled. But there are no real buttons for anything beyond the climate control, and that means you'll be taking your eyes off the road to operate things. The menu system can be a bit cumbersome to navigate too, especially in the instrument panel. That said, the updated digital instrument panel shows a good variety of information, and the wide display allows for a lot of info on screen at once.
All Porsches are meant to be driver's cars, so it's no surprise that there's a lot of adjustment for the wheel and seat. You can sit low to feel more like a hatchback or higher for a more traditional SUV seating position. Getting in and out is relatively easy, though the sleek roofline on the Cayenne Coupe means dipping your head a bit. There's plenty of space inside, even with the low roof. Adults should be comfortable in either row. As for visibility, the Cayenne's seating position affords a good view out of the front, but the view to the side and rear is limited by narrow windows. We also had some intermittent issues with the backup camera.

How’s the tech? The Cayenne is available with lots of in-car tech and driver aids, though few features are standard. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. The infotainment screen is clear and responsive, and we didn't have any issues with connectivity or lag. The map is easy to read, and the available voice commands will allow you to input an address or adjust other things like the climate control. Our vehicle was also fitted with the optional Bose audio system. It's good, but most of our staff thought the audio quality didn't fully match the price.
While blind-spot warning is now standard, features like adaptive cruise control must be added as options. That's a shame when you get these same driver aids as standard equipment in rivals.
Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? Porsche offers the Cayenne in two body styles: the standard SUV and the sleek-looking Coupe. The latter offers less cargo capacity than the regular Cayenne as well as coupe-style rivals such as the BMW X6. But, hey, compared to what you get in a 911, it's a lot! The cargo space is wide and flat, though the rear window does cut into the cargo area.
Storage in the cabin for small items is decent. The center console bin is still a bit small, but the door pockets are useful and offer enough space for tall water bottles. Getting a car seat inside is mostly easy, though that roofline means you have to duck a bit more to reach inside. There's plenty of space for a large rear-facing seat, and the anchors are easy to see and access. Note that the 2+2 configuration lacks a middle seat in the rear.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Cayenne Coupe with the base V6 engine has an EPA estimate of 19 mpg combined. We matched that figure on Edmunds' test route. Those figures are at the low end for this class, though no one excels outside of the occasional hybrid or plug-in hybrid variant like Porsche's own Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Cayenne Coupe a good value? Porsches are known for their rock-solid fit and finish. Look inside and out and there's nary a misaligned panel or rattle from an ill-fitting piece of trim. Everything you look at or touch has a premium feel, from the leather on the seats to the trim on the shifter. Rivals might have flashier or more impressive-looking designs inside, but the Cayenne's clean layout and luxury feel are unlikely to disappoint.
The Cayenne Coupe is one of the most expensive SUVs in its class. The value factor is made worse by the fact that the Cayenne is pretty light on standard features, lacking things like adaptive cruise control or air suspension that come standard on some rivals. You're just going to end up paying a good chunk for a Cayenne Coupe, though we feel like you're getting your money's worth overall. Porsche's warranty is average for the class, with a basic and powertrain warranty of four years/50,000 miles. You also get roadside assistance for the warranty period and one year of included maintenance.
Wildcard
7.5/10
When it comes to luxury SUVs, there's really nothing else short of an Mercedes-AMG or BMW M model that can touch the Cayenne when it comes to pure fun from behind the wheel. It's quick and nimble and genuinely fun on a winding road. It's not going to blow your socks off, and almost every other Cayenne Coupe is more fun than this one, but for a base trim, it's better than you would expect.
But that base trim comes with some drawbacks, mainly somewhat anonymous styling and a middling personality. Other Cayenne Coupes have burly exhaust notes or sporty accents to set them apart. The base Cayenne Coupe looks like every other Cayenne out there. If you want to stand out, especially in a big city, this isn't the car to drive.
Which Cayenne Coupe does Edmunds recommend?
As tempting as a 729-hp plug-in hybrid luxury SUV sounds, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupe's high price tag will likely make you reconsider. And plugging it in every day might not be ideal for you. With its new 468-hp turbocharged V8, the Cayenne S Coupe offers the most performance for the money. However, if you want the superior efficiency of a plug-in hybrid and don't mind plugging in at home, the similarly priced Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe offers comparable performance.
The Edmunds experts tested the 2024 Cayenne Coupe both on the road and at the track, giving it a 7.9 out of 10. What about cargo capacity? When you're thinking about carrying stuff in your new car, keep in mind that the Cayenne Coupe has 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space. And then there's safety and reliability. Edmunds has all the latest NHTSA and IIHS crash-test scores, plus industry-leading expert and consumer reviews to help you understand what it's like to own and maintain a Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
