Some high-end midsize SUVs are meant for luxury, while others deliver on driving prowess. The 2025 Porsche Cayenne looks to be both, with trims that appeal to entry-level buyers and those who want to spend oodles of money on gobs of horsepower.

Verdict: Even the base model Cayenne delivers an agile driving experience, but those willing to dig deep into their bank account for one of Porsche’s more expensive Cayenne models are rewarded with a spirited drive like no other. The competition here is stiff, in the form of other German SUVs like the Audi Q8, BMW X5, and Mercedes-Benz GLE, and their performance variants. However, the Cayenne is not here to lose.
9/10

The 2025 Porsche Cayenne is available as a standard SUV with a more squared-off rear end or as a sporty Cayenne Coupe. Trim levels range from the sublime base Cayenne to the ridiculous Cayenne Turbo GT, each with its own special exterior touches that distinguish it from the rest of the lineup. For this Porsche Cayenne Review, we’re concentrating on the GTS trim level, which gets standard exterior design elements like high gloss black trim and some cool-looking bronze exhaust tips. The front fascia is specific to the GTS and features larger air intakes—the better to cool a V8 engine—and tinted headlights. Red brake calipers peek through 21-inch wheels in anthracite gray. If you choose the Cayenne Coupe, you’ll be treated to an adaptive rear spoiler. While the base model might get smaller wheels and satin black trim instead of the gloss black, it’s still a good-looking crossover.

The story is just as good once you open the door and climb inside. Like all Porsches you can customize pretty much everything in the cabin from the color—the Carmine Red is a joy—to the trim to the seat belts. Pricing here can get pretty spendy; for example, the Cayenne can get a custom paint job with solid, metallic, or historic paint colors for $13,000 or so. Spend the money, and you can rest assured that your Porsche is unique.

There are plenty of screens in the Cayenne, but the important features like HVAC controls and volume controls are still mechanical. Everything is laid out well and with the shifter toggle mounted on the dashboard, there is more space for storage. The center console will slide fore and aft, sometimes with just slight pressure from an elbow, but it’s the only criticism we have for what is otherwise a very well-thought-out cabin.
