2027 Porsche Cayenne Performance and Powertrains: Every Model Compared
)
The 2027 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid produces 729 combined horsepower and reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Five distinct powertrain configurations span the Cayenne lineup, from a 348 hp turbocharged V6 to a twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor. This page covers each powertrain in detail, with current Cayenne inventory at Porsche Milwaukee North in Glendale.
Cayenne Powertrain Overview
The 2027 Porsche Cayenne lineup includes five powertrain configurations across six models. Each uses standard all-wheel drive and an 8-Speed Tiptronic S transmission while delivering different horsepower, torque, acceleration, and chassis characteristics.
The three gasoline-only models, Cayenne, Cayenne S, and Cayenne GTS, use turbocharged engines. The three E-Hybrid models, Cayenne E-Hybrid, Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, each add a 174 hp electric motor and a 25.9 kWh gross battery to their combustion engines. The E-Hybrid configurations increase combined output and provide an all-electric top speed of 84 mph.
Across all six models, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard. The Cayenne GTS, Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid add Adaptive Air Suspension with PASM. The Cayenne GTS uses an air suspension setup lowered 10mm compared with the standard position.
How Each Powertrain Works
)
Cayenne, 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V6, 348 hp
The Cayenne uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that produces 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. That output runs through the 8-Speed Tiptronic S to all four wheels. Without the Sport Chrono Package, 0–60 mph takes 5.7 seconds. With Sport Chrono, that figure drops to 5.4 seconds. Top speed is 154 mph. Rear luggage volume is 27.3 cubic feet because no hybrid battery pack occupies space beneath the cargo floor.
)
Cayenne E-Hybrid, 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V6 plus E-Machine, 463 combined hp
The Cayenne E-Hybrid uses the same 3.0-liter V6, rated at 300 hp in this application, alongside a 174 hp electric motor. Combined output is 463 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. With the Sport Chrono Package, 0–60 mph takes 4.6 seconds, top speed is 158 mph, and the quarter-mile time is 13.2 seconds. The electric motor also enables all-electric driving at speeds up to 84 mph. The Sport Chrono Package is standard on this model.
)
Cayenne S, 4.0-Liter Twin-Turbo V8, 468 hp
The Cayenne S uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 468 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. With the Sport Chrono Package, 0–60 mph takes 4.4 seconds, top speed is 170 mph, and the quarter-mile time is 13.1 seconds.
)
Cayenne S E-Hybrid, 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V6 plus E-Machine, 512 combined hp
The Cayenne S E-Hybrid pairs the 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, rated at 348 hp in standalone form, with the same 174 hp electric motor found throughout the E-Hybrid range. Combined output is 512 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. With the Sport Chrono Package, 0–60 mph takes 4.4 seconds. Top speed is 163 mph. The Sport Chrono Package and Adaptive Air Suspension with PASM are standard.
)
Cayenne GTS, 4.0-Liter Twin-Turbo V8, 493 hp
The Cayenne GTS uses the same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 architecture as the Cayenne S, tuned to produce 493 hp and 486 lb-ft of torque. With the Sport Chrono Package, 0–60 mph takes 4.2 seconds, top speed is 171 mph, and the quarter-mile time is 12.7 seconds.
The Sport Chrono Package is standard. Adaptive Air Suspension with PASM is lowered 10mm compared with the standard position, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) is also standard. Additional equipment includes a Sport Exhaust System with tailpipes finished in Dark Bronze, HD-Matrix Design LED headlights, and a Race-Tex roof lining.
