Porsche proved to the world that it could make highly coveted SUVs when it launched the Cayenne in 2002. Twenty-two years later, the 2024 model year is more desirable than ever, with comprehensive updates to the powertrain, chassis, design, and in-car technology.
The 2024 Porsche Cayenne arrives with a comprehensive makeover. It has a refreshed body – front to back, a stretched-out chassis, more powerful engine options, a facelifted cockpit with an updated dashboard and new layout, and more innovative cabin technology.
Porsche offers the 2024 Cayenne in two trim levels: the Cayenne AWD and the Cayenne S AWD. The two variants have different powertrains, driving dynamics, amenities, and creature comforts to cater to the automaker’s diverse clientele.

Porsche completely revised the already driver-centric cockpit of the 2024 Cayenne by changing the display and control concepts. The result is a more engaged drive, reduced distractions, and higher operational accessibility without diminishing the cabin’s luxurious and sporty ambiance.
Engineers and designers worked meticulously to optimize the driver-vehicle connection. Functions used frequently are located directly on or immediately next to the steering wheel. The left stalk behind the steering wheel now has additional functions for operating the driver assistance systems. The gear selector is moved to the dashboard, making room for storage and a large air conditioning controller on the center console.
But the German automaker isn’t all about ergonomics, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne comes outfitted with a digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch central Porsche Communication Management display. The latter has native apps such as Spotify®, Apple Music®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™.
Optional features include a heads-up display and a 10.9-inch passenger display with a special layer that prevents the driver from watching and getting distracted.
Porsche’s third-generation Cayenne may appear similar in shape and size to its predecessors. Still, its designers will tell you that the 2024 model year has plenty of new exterior enhancements for improved aesthetics, aerodynamics, and performance.
The body of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne features a reshaped hood, restyled headlamps, a fresh bumper, more muscular fenders, a redesigned rear fascia, and new three-dimensionally designed taillights. How’s that for a facelift?
Porsche also offers various packages and options for the 2024 Cayenne, including the Lightweight Sport Package and three different wheel sizes: 20, 21, and 22 inches. Customers may also personalize their 2024 Cayenne with the marque’s additional customization services.
All 2024 Porsche Cayenne trim levels have a steel spring suspension, including Porsche Active Suspension Management and new shock absorbers with two-valve technology. These optimize performance across all driving conditions. Buyers can opt for the new optional adaptive air suspension with two-chamber, two-valve technology for higher handling precision.
The 2024 Cayenne is available in 12 colors, but some are variant dependent. These include the following:
Porsche offers the 2024 Cayenne with three engine options to ensure optimum performance. You can decide which variant is right for you based on your budget, preference, and, more importantly, skill level.

The entry-level 2024 Porsche Cayenne has a tweaked 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that makes 348 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, 13 horsepower and 36 lb-ft more than its predecessor.
The 2024 Porsche Cayenne S sports a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that makes 468 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, 34 horsepower and 37 lb-ft more than its predecessor.
All trim levels use an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission with a Tiptronic S feature. This feature provides shorter response times and sportier ratios in the lower gears to enhance both on-road performance and off-road capability.
For exciting straight-line action, buyers can enhance the 2024 Porsche Cayenne’s acceleration with the Sport Chrono Package, making it go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
As the Cayenne is based heavily on the Porsche 911 sports car, the 2024 model year also features rear-axle steering, active all-wheel drive 4D Chassis Control, three-chamber air suspension, and the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control electronic roll stabilization system.
The Cayenne is the go-to crossover SUV for drivers, off-roaders, and everyday motorists. Its stylish exterior, driver-focused cabin, sports car performance, and outstanding driving dynamics set it apart from rivals in the segment.
