The 2025 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is a world-beating performance SUV with acceleration and handling that defy physics. However, its value is purely dynamic. It lacks the utility of rivals and charges extra for basic safety tech, making it a brilliant toy but a somewhat compromised daily driver.Read full review
Porsche offers a dizzying array of configurations for its popular Cayenne SUV, but the 2025 Porsche Cayenne Coupe adds a twist with its sleek, sweeping roof and sportier profile. Forget that the four-door Cayenne Coupe isn't actually a coupe at all and casually reinterprets that word to connote a lower roof, shorter headroom, and diminished cargo capacity. None of which should dissuade you from buying one since it's every bit as good as its conventional counterpart and, depending on your eye, more stylish.

We drove the 2025 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.
Driving experience
8.5/10
How does the Porsche Cayenne Coupe drive? With a 0-60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds, the Cayenne Turbo GT outgunned vehicles like the Lamborghini Urus and BMW XM at our test track to become one of the quickest SUVs we've ever tested. Acceleration from the turbocharged V8 is both brutal and thrilling, with exhaust wailing and barking on every upshift.
Braking is impressive too. In our testing, the Turbo GT needed just 106 feet to stop from 60 to 0 mph, which is some of the best performance we've seen from an SUV. Our test vehicle had the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, and we found they held up to multiple braking tests without any diminished performance.
The Turbo GT delights in corners. It pulled an outlandish 1.08 g on our skidpad, making it one of the best SUVs we've tested. You feel the Cayenne's weight, but it's well balanced and tight thanks to a retuned suspension, torque-vectoring system and rear-axle steering.
Ride comfort is good thanks to the standard air suspension. You feel the road, but the Cayenne does a good job of soaking up most imperfections. For visibility, the Cayenne's seating position affords a good view out of the front, but narrow windows limit the side and rear views.
Comfort
7.3/10
How comfortable is the Porsche Cayenne Coupe? The Turbo GT offers either eight- or 18-way power-adjustable front seats as standard, depending on your upholstery choice. Our test vehicle had the 18-way seats with full leather. The padding is firm but comfortable, and we appreciated being able to adjust the bolstering in a car that corners as fast as this one. This one was set up in the 2+2 configuration with rear bucket seats; an optional bench seat is available.
Getting in and out is relatively easy, though the Cayenne Coupe's sleek roofline means you'll need to dip your head a bit. There's plenty of space inside even with the low roof. Adults should be comfortable in either row. There's a mild amount of wind and road noise on the highway, and the engine is only really loud in Sport and Sport Plus modes.
The Cayenne's interior is a mixed bag. Most of the controls are easy to reach and well labeled. But there are no real buttons for anything beyond the climate control, which means you'll have to take your eyes off the road to operate them. That said, the updated digital instrument panel shows a good variety of information, and the wide display allows for a lot of info on screen at once.
In-cabin tech
7/10
How’s the tech? The Cayenne Turbo GT offers solid connectivity but falls short on some advanced features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard and integrate seamlessly with the infotainment supported by wireless phone charging. However, it lacks the Porsche digital key functionality, so a physical key fob is still required in lieu of using your phone. Four high-wattage USB-C ports (two in the front, two in the back) are included, but there are no additional ports.
The in-car tech is generally impressive, featuring a responsive and user-friendly 12.3-inch central infotainment screen with reliable voice commands for navigation and climate control. The optional Bose audio system is decent, though it may not fully justify its cost.
Storage & cargo
5.6/10
How’s storage and cargo? The Turbo GT is available only in the Cayenne Coupe body style, which means less cargo capacity than the regular Cayenne. You get 20.3 cubic feet of space behind the second row and 52.5 cubic feet with the seats folded. The cargo area is wide and flat, but the sloping rear window eats into vertical space.
Cabin storage is adequate, with small-item spots like the center console bin and door pockets that can hold tall water bottles. The strict 2+2 seating means no middle rear seat.
One major drawback: The Turbo GT is the only Cayenne that can't tow. The Titanium Sport Exhaust system sits where the hitch would go, and modifying it isn't recommended.
Value
6.7/10
Is the Porsche Cayenne Coupe a good value? The interior is handsome and well appointed, with high-quality leather and premium materials throughout. However, it's not quite as nice inside as a Lamborghini Urus or Audi RS Q8. We also noticed some minor build quality issues, including occasional buzzing from the door panel.
Value is a complex equation. The Turbo GT is a "bargain exotic," offering genuine Lamborghini Urus performance for significantly less cash. However, it struggles as a daily utility proposition, omitting some of the creature comforts that other luxury SUVs provide as standard.
Porsche provides a four-year/50,000-mile warranty and roadside assistance, plus one year of complimentary maintenance. This coverage is about average for the class.
MPG
3/10
How’s the fuel economy? Expecting the Turbo GT to sip fuel like most other Cayennes is a tall ask. And with a 15-mpg city rating and a 20-mpg highway figure for a combined total of 17 mpg, it reveals that you'll be both visiting the pumps fairly often and parting with a fair amount of cash once you do. Still, thanks to its powerful twin-turbo V8, it's a cost of entry you'll happily pay.
X factor
10/10
It doesn't get much better than this when it comes to pure fun behind the wheel. Simply put, the Cayenne Turbo GT doesn't drive like an SUV. It's large and heavy, sure, but the Cayenne is tuned so well that you can really push it on a winding road. There's power everywhere, whether you need to quickly get away from a stoplight or pass a slow-moving vehicle on the highway.
Some may decry the Turbo GT for looking too much like other Cayennes, especially given the price. That's fair, though we think the subtle design changes make it a bit of a sleeper and way less attention-grabbing than something like an Urus or Aston Martin DBX. It's sporty and purposeful without losing the clean lines that make the Cayenne Coupe such a looker.

2025 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT pricing in Ashburn, VA
The 2025 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is a high-performance midsize luxury SUV that seats four but offers an optional fifth seat at no cost. It's available in seven trim levels: base, E-Hybrid, S, S E-Hybrid, GTS, Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo GT. Each model is primarily different under the hood (distinct engine or varying power levels), although each trim typically includes a few extra features as the price increases. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard for all trims. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2025 Porsche Cayenne Coupe trim levels in-depth.
Which Cayenne Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Cayenne Coupe offers such a wide range of power, from a mere 348 hp to a bonkers 729 hp, that our recommendation comes down to two questions: How fast do you want to go and do you want to plug in? Unless you're frothing to reach 60 mph in 4 seconds or less — in which case you'll want the GTS or Turbo trims — the Cayenne S Coupe provides all you want in standard form and dozens of options to personalize it further. The 468-hp turbocharged V8 rockets the Cayenne S from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, just 0.2 second slower than the GTS Coupe, which will cost you a cool $20K more. If you want even more power and some electric-only range, the plug-in Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe is comparably priced and offers similar performance.
Competitors to consider
Good as the Cayenne Coupe is, its lofty price may give some buyers pause, especially given the competition. The Audi Q8 offers comparable power, performance and parent-company engineering (Audi and Porsche are both owned by the Volkswagen Group) for about $17K less. Think of it as the bargain Cayenne. The BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and Genesis GV80 Coupe are also worthy rivals. Each of them offers a high-performance version, though none currently offer a plug-in hybrid. (Mercedes plans one for 2026.)
Edmunds spotlight: GTS bridges gap between tame and turbo
For 2025, the GTS trim returns to the Cayenne lineup, offering a bridge between the potent performance of the Cayenne Coupe S (468 horsepower) and the blistering capability of the Turbo GT (650 hp, 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds). The Turbo E-Hybrid trim also sits in between with even more scorching power and with a rechargeable plug-in battery pack. And in a twist for an automaker that makes options an art form, Porsche actually converts a few former options into standard features, including ambient cabin lighting, soft-closing doors, a surround-view camera and a semi-automated parking system. The GTS may add a little more variety to the Coupe lineup, but it's still subject to the same limitations compared to the regular Cayenne, which we review separately: tighter rear headroom, diminished cargo space (6.4 cubic feet less than regular Cayenne). The Coupe also costs about $5,000 more — the price for style.
The Edmunds experts tested the 2025 Cayenne Coupe both on the road and at the track, giving it a 6.6 out of 10. What about cargo capacity?
