2025 Porsche Cayenne SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Porsche Cayenne is a five-passenger midsize luxury SUV. Porsche has expanded the lineup for 2025 to include Base, E-Hybrid, S, S E-Hybrid, GTS and Turbo E-Hybrid trim levels. Each trim gets its own engine (outlined below), but all use an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive.

Which Cayenne trim does Edmunds recommend?

The new GTS is the way to go if you want your Cayenne to best replicate the driving spirit of the 911. Otherwise, the S E-Hybrid offers excellent all-around performance and practicality while leaving plenty of room in the budget for extras. While you're checking options boxes, be sure to include the Porsche InnoDrive package, which adds more driver assist features.
