Porsche has always been known for its iconic sports cars, but over the years, the brand has expanded its range to include SUVs as well.
The Cayenne has been one of the most popular models in Porsche's line-up, and the new 2023 Cayenne is set to raise the bar even higher.
The 2023 Porsche Cayenne boasts a sleek and modern design. The front of the car has been updated with a new grille, high-definition HD Matrix LED headlights, and a sporty air intake that gives the SUV an aggressive look. The sides of the car are characterised by sharp lines and muscular curves that enhance its aerodynamics.
The Cayenne sits on a new range of 20, 21 and 22-inch wheels with the option to upgrade for a more commanding presence on the road. The rear of the car features a new taillight design and a sporty diffuser that further enhances its sporty look.
The interior of the 2023 Cayenne is nothing short of luxurious. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. The dashboard features a sleek, minimalist design that is easy to navigate and for the first time includes a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster as standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can be customised to suit the driver's preferences.
Under the hood, the 2023 Porsche Cayenne S is equipped with a 4.0 V8 that delivers 349 kW and 600 Nm of torque. It accelerates both the SUV and the SUV Coupé to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 273 km/h, claims Porsche.
The 6-cylinder engine also forms the basis for the powertrain of the Cayenne E-Hybrid. It has a new electric motor that has been improved by 30 kW to 130 kW, which means a combined output of 346 kW, and it has an electric range of 66-74 km but may differ depending on how and where the Cayenne E-Hybrid is being driven.
For those who want even more power, the Cayenne is also available as a Turbo GT. The Turbo GT boasts a 4.0-litre V8 engine that produces 485 kW of power and has a top speed of 305 km/h. The Cayenne Turbo GT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.
Confirmed pricing for South Africa is:
Cayenne (R1 848 000), Cayenne E-Hybrid (R2 194 000), Cayenne S (R2 125 000), Cayenne coupé (R1 933 000), Cayenne E-Hybrid coupé (R2 259 000), Cayenne S Coupé (R2 232 000) and Cayenne Turbo GT (R4 128 000).

Unlike in the past, when dealerships primarily waited for customers to come to them, we now take a more proactive approach, bringing our vehicles directly to places where people gather, allowing them to experience the product first-hand, including offering test drives,” says Gerrie van der Kaay, Dealer Principal at Supergroup Dealerships Jetour Midrand.
