The 2023 Cayenne Coupe delivers incredible acceleration and is relentlessly grippy around corners. It's hard to believe it can pull this off yet be so comfortable to drive every day. We also like the expertly crafted cabin and huge range of customization options. Alas, those options are costly, and the Coupe concedes a good amount of cargo space and visibility because of its sloping roofline. But on the whole the Cayenne Coupe is an ideal luxury SUV for the performance-minded buyer.

To create the Cayenne Coupe, Porsche takes the already rakish standard Cayenne SUV, shaves the roofline for a faster silhouette, and reduces passenger capacity to four people. The Cayenne Coupe offers less cargo room as a result, but Porsche maximizes passenger headroom by dropping the rear seat cushion nearly 2 inches. In standard specification, four people can ride in the Cayenne Coupe, but you can add a fifth position as a no-charge option.

Other than styling and interior packaging changes, the Cayenne Coupe is nearly identical to the standard Cayenne. That means it offers multiple gas and plug-in hybrid powertrains ranging in output from 335 horsepower to a mighty 670 hp. If you want the quickest and most expensive version of the Cayenne, you'll have no choice but to shop the Coupe lineup because it's the only one offering the riotously fast Turbo GT model.

With the Cayenne Coupe, Porsche competes against similar midsize SUV coupes including the Audi Q8, BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. Learn more by reading our detailed Expert Rating of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Average

7.6

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Porsche Cayenne Coupe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Cayenne Coupe drive? The Cayenne Coupe S — the trim we tested — is astonishingly fast in a straight line. In Edmunds' testing, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Few high-performance midsize SUVs can beat that. When you're not accelerating full out, slow-speed response around town is a little lacking in the default driving mode. Selecting either the Sport or Sport Plus mode sharpens response to more agreeable levels.

Considering the Cayenne Coupe S is a sizable SUV, it handles corners extremely well, with almost zero body roll. It changes direction quickly and there's plenty of grip from the ultra-wide performance tires. Steering, though precise, requires more effort at slow speeds and delivers less road feedback than we were expecting.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Cayenne Coupe? The Cayenne Coupe S strikes an excellent balance between comfort and performance. The front seats are bolstered well and hold you in place around high-speed corners, and they're also plush enough to keep you comfortable on long road trips. The ride quality is excellent thanks to Porsche's optional air suspension that soaks up most big bumps.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Cayenne loses points here for an unrefined climate control system. Air-conditioning fans are relatively weak at low settings and loud at higher settings. It's hard to strike a comfortable but quiet balance. Engine noise is constant, but it's mostly at low volumes and admittedly a relatively pleasant tone. Tire noise, though, is a bit more grating from the summer performance rubber.

Interior

7/10

How’s the interior? There's a lot to learn with the Cayenne's cabin controls. Small buttons abound, and many are tucked behind the console gear selector, requiring you look to away from the road to see what you're pressing. The driver's seat position is as you'd expect from a Porsche: excellent. There's a wide range of adjustments in the driver's seat and the steering column to suit a variety of people and preferences.

Forward visibility is great thanks to a low dashboard. But visibility directly back and at your flanks suffers because of a small rear window, sloping rear roofline and large rear roof pillars. As for interior space, the cabin is roomier than you'd expect thanks to certain design tweaks Porsche made in the Cayenne Coupe. There's plenty of space for four adults. Headroom and legroom are great all around, though you still have to duck under the roofline a bit when entering the back.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Porsche's 12-inch touchscreen has crisp graphics and bright colors; it's a great-looking screen. The standard audio system, however, is a bit disappointing at this price point. It distorts at high volume and has a poor dynamic range. Music lovers will want one of the optional upgraded systems.

Smartphone integration is a mixed bag too. Apple CarPlay integration works wirelessly or through a USB cord. But in our testing we found that if we connected an iPhone wirelessly, the Cayenne had a hard time figuring out what to do if the USB was plugged in as well. We also noticed other phone disconnects or failures to connect. The integrated voice command system works pretty well, though, and gives you some wiggle room for natural speech.

Standard driver aids are also conspicuously absent. Only automatic emergency braking comes standard. Blind-spot warning, lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise are all optional.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? The Cayenne Coupe loses some space when compared to its standard-roof sibling. Rear cargo space is 22 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 54 cubes with the seats folded. It's a nice, flat space to store larger items in, and side netting helps hold smaller items in the back.

The cupholders are small but sufficient for small bottles. Got small children? There are a pair of Isofix anchors in the back seat for installing child safety seats. They are easy to locate and connect to. But getting a bulky seat into the back can be tricky because of the Coupe's lower rear roofline.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Cayenne Coupe S, which is what we tested, has respectable fuel economy for the performance it returns. The EPA estimates the Coupe S gets 18 mpg combined (16 city/21 highway). On our 115-mile evaluation route, our test vehicle achieved an impressive 22.8 mpg, besting its highway rating over a series of city, mountain and highway driving roads.

Value

8/10

Is the Cayenne Coupe a good value? Our test Cayenne stickered at close to $100,000, and it didn't even have much added from Porsche's extensive options list. But the price is easier to justify when you consider the Cayenne's muscular acceleration and nimble handling.

Warranty and roadside assistance coverage is typical for the class with four years/50,000 miles of coverage. Free maintenance is good for a year; some luxury rivals offer longer coverage.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The Cayenne Coupe is a true-blue Porsche. The sheer speed, combined with the excellent handling capability, makes for a truly enjoyable driving experience. It's also comfortable on the inside and unassuming and classy on the outside. Understatement at its best.

2023 Porsche Cayenne Coupe trim level differences

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne caters to a wide range of budgets, preferences and outright demands. It is a midsize SUV with standard seating for four people, but you can get a fifth seat at no extra charge. Seven models are available; a base version plus the E-Hybrid, S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S E-Hybrid and Turbo GT. In addition, Porsche offers Platinum Edition versions of the base, E-Hybrid and S variants of the SUV. Compare the 2023 Porsche Cayenne Coupe trim levels in-depth.

Which Cayenne Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

Life is all about balance, and when it comes to this Porsche, we think the Cayenne S Coupe offers the best blend of value, performance and access to amenities. With a five-figure base price and a twin-turbocharged V6 engine supplying nearly 100 extra horsepower over the base model, the Cayenne S Coupe represents a sound middle ground between logic and emotion.
