2025 Porsche Cayenne Engine Overview
3.0-Liter Turbocharged V6 Engine
Standard on Cayenne
- Horsepower – 348
- Torque – 368 lb-ft
- 0-60 MPH – 5.4 seconds
- Top Speed – 154 MPH
Equal parts efficient and exhilarating, the standard engine for the Porsche Cayenne is a proven 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Cranking out a muscular 348 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, this capable powertrain is poised and ready to perform. Mated to a responsive 8-speed automatic transmission, the Cayenne can rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.4 seconds (when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono package). In addition to its blistering acceleration, the Cayenne is also capable of towing up to 7,700 lbs (when properly equipped). Whether you’re chasing adventure on the weekends on enjoying an open stretch of highway after a long day at the office, the Porsche Cayenne comes standard with plenty of power to get the most out of every mile.
4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 Engine
Standard on Cayenne S and Cayenne GTS
- Horsepower – 468 or 493
- Torque – 442 lb-ft or 486
- 0-60 MPH – 4.7 seconds or 4.4 seconds
- Top Speed – 170 MPH or 171 MPH
For even more power, the Cayenne comes with a V8 option. This engine comes with two different Cayenne trims, and is tuned differently depending on which one you get. The Cayenne GTS is the more powerful of the two, and although the difference isn’t huge, both offer very noticeably more power than the V6. The Cayenne S makes 468 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, while the Cayenne GTS comes with 493 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. That extra power is good for a 0-60 times that’s three-tenths of a second quicker, and a top speed that 1 mph faster.
Porsche Cayenne Performance Equipment & Features
High-Performance Brake Systems
All Cayenne models come standard with six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the rear for maximum stopping power. Buyers can also opt for available Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) that deliver precision and resistance to brake fade, helping you react in a split second.
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
Engineered to maximize both performance and comfort, PASM is standard on all Porsche Cayenne models. This sophisticated system automatically adjusts damping force based on current road surface conditions. Drivers can choose from Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, and Off-Road modes for an even more personalized experience.
Lightweight Alloy Wheels with Performance Tires
Ranging from 19 inches up to 22 inches, the Porsche Cayenne is available with an impressive collection of lightweight forged alloy wheels.
