2024 Porsche Cayenne SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne is a five-passenger midsize luxury SUV. For 2024, it comes in Base, E-Hybrid, S, S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid trim levels. Each trim level is powered by a different engine (outlined below), but all trims use an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive. All three trims are similarly equipped, and Porsche offers many option packages and stand-alone features. The more sleekly styled Cayenne Coupe is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Keep reading for our editorial breakdown of the Cayenne's most significant standard and optional features.

Which Cayenne trim does Edmunds recommend?

Get a Cayenne in the S or S E-Hybrid for all-around appeal and you'll still have some room for extras. The S comes with a V8 engine, which best complements this SUV's sporty nature. Or if you want power and enhanced fuel economy, the S E-Hybrid is the way to go. Of the Cayenne's many options, the extra driver assist features from the Porsche InnoDrive package are well worth getting.
