The 2021 Porsche Cayenne is an SUV with the heart and soul of a sports car. If you’re looking for an SUV that will make you grin from ear to ear each time you get behind the wheel because it handles like a sports car, yet doesn’t sacrifice the utility you want out of an SUV, then look no further. A range of engines is available starting at 335 horsepower and moving up to 670 horsepower with the Turbo S E-Hybrid model.
An SUV With the Performance of a Sports Car
The Porsche Cayenne is designed to be the high-powered sports car par excellence. You can choose from a more classic SUV or the coupe body. The Cayenne seamlessly integrates the power and handling of a thoroughbred sports car with the rugged utility of your average SUV. There are several powertrains available, including a pair of V-6’s, a modern plug-in hybrid, and a powerful twin-turbo V-8. For this model, the German, performance-minded automaker has brought the new GTS trim back, which is more of a track-focused version than its less-powerful siblings (which in themselves are still likely to provide more than enough power for the average driver).
Pricing
The Cayenne is the perfect example of getting what you pay for in life. What you get for the extra cash is a far more enjoyable ride than you’ll experience in any other vehicle in the segment, with many customizable extras, providing you with a car that is specifically tailored for your tastes and budget.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid starts at $83,150, the Cayenne S starts at $86,450, and the Cayenne GTS starts at $108,650.
New and Unique Features
Cayenne GTS
2021 sees the eagerly awaited return of the Cayenne GTS, which comes with a 460-hp twin-turbo V-8. Along with a solid base of standard features, you’ll also find a lowered suspension and other performance hardware. The 2021 Cayenne GTS is the top-of-the-line in the regular range and provides an introduction to the high-powered Turbo variants.
Cayenne E-Hybrid
The Cayenne E-Hybrid includes a larger battery, boasting a capacity of 17.9 kWh. Porsche also made sure that the battery, in its charged state, makes better use of the gas engine than ever before, which in turn helps with the overall life-span and efficiency of the engine and the battery.
New Exhaust System
While the 2021 model remains very similar to the 2020 offering in some ways, changes include a new exhaust system and the relocation of the rear diffusers.
If what you’re after is an SUV that refuses to compromise on power, handling, and utility, then the Cayenne is a sure bet. It is, after all, a Porsche at its core with the rugged yet sleek body of a modern SUV. With its numerous engine and trim options available for configuration, you can find a model that suits your requirements and your budget and still manages to surprise you every time you drive.
