Cayenne options that matter when you shop

Porsche sells most equipment as individual options, so the trim badge only tells you part of the story. These are the options worth confirming on any Cayenne you look at.

• Adaptive air suspension: Optional on the base Cayenne, S and E-Hybrid; standard on the S E-Hybrid, GTS and Turbo GT.
• PDCC and rear-axle steering: Active anti-roll and four-wheel steering; standard on the Turbo GT and optional elsewhere.
• Sport Chrono Package: Adds drive modes and launch control.
• Ceramic brakes (PCCB): Costly to replace; confirm whether a used car has them.
• Coupe body: Each Coupe costs a few thousand dollars more than the SUV (e.g. $84,300 vs $79,200 for the 2024 base car).
