Super impressive for sure. And as we all agree, quite pricy too. But as Kyle noted, it is the one vehicle that can do it all. Want something efficient, capable of towing over 7500 pounds, roomy, Porsche quality (handling, steering, braking, suspension), fast enough for daily use and...
There points of comparison on the configurator prices for identically optioned but different model Porsche EV’s — for their pricing that has just changed today:
Our configured, loaded Cayenne Turbo went up $640.
But in comparison the configurator pricing for our potential Taycan GTS Sports...
Another, imo, excellent job by Raz. As typical of RBR’s work, it is fun to watch, lots of information, and perceptions. Yet, I have to agree with some of the already posted negative comments about its rear, and am personally going to wait to see if the 2027 coupe version makes it a friendlier...
20’s are always the smartest choice for the reasons you noted but visuals for wheels take over from my common sense. I would go with the below 21” ones if ordering today, e.g., liking their looks, reasonable price, and midway range.
If tire tread width and/or sidewall ratio is something of interest to you, only one, the 22” Cayenne Sport Techno, comes with wider 285/325 tires. The remaining eight wheel choices all come with 275/315’s. Sidewall ratio is not however unique to the SportTehcno’s. As the SportTechno’s echo...
The BMW iX message seats were/are also of no significance. Guessing that in the next Cayenne configurator update that we see the message seats as they have been a Porsche option on many models for quite a while — and a key reason why more than a few choose the 14 ways over the 18’s.
I believe the configurator is not fully developed for the U.S., e.g., not just the tow hitch but also the message seats, the colored seat stitching, no exterior mirrors in visible carbon fiber, and more. Would not be a surprise to see a revised, upgraded, more option-listed configurator...
Thanks. Just tried it in the U.S. and it did not work but doubt they created the carbon fiber visual representation without it being available at least on the next configurator update — as most believe would also be the interior stitching color options, the message seats, and probaby more options.
There are different sport sounds on the different Taycan models. If one heads of to Porschefinder.com and finds some that list:”SOUND” next to them, you can comparatively hear how much more aggressive the Tycan GTS and Turbo sounds are compared to the entry model Taycans.
Thanks to member “rjf” for finding/linking this carscoops article showing more good pictures on the 2027 Cayenne EV crossover’s will look like:

Some pics from that article:
Here is the latest Cayenne configuration we put together.

However, we will wait for the 2027 crossover version that emulates the rear of the Macan EV, e.g., this picture taken by Thomas@Autogefühl at a Porsche facility showing the Cayenne EV crossover’s side...
