2023 Porsche Cayenne Exterior and Dimensions

The exterior of the Cayenne has evolved over the years to become a rather handsome body with elegant yet assertive styling. You get LED headlights and taillights, 19-inch wheels, and dual exhaust exits on the base model, all as standard. The mid-range S adds a panoramic sunroof, along with quad exhaust tips finished in silver, while the top GTS trim boasts a bevy of gloss and satin black accents, including the badges and exhaust tips. This model also gets clear taillights and a special SportDesign body kit, while standard 21-inch wheels hint at this variant's sporty nature. On the E-Hybrid model, Acid Green brake calipers and badge accents are the only clues to differentiate it from the base model.

Platinum Edition models get model-specific exterior elements in Satin Platinum, including intakes in the front fascia, the rear Porsche logo integrated into the LED taillights, and standard 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels. They also have a panoramic roof as standard.

The dimensions of the Cayenne are well-proportioned for a typical midsize luxury SUV, with length measuring 193.7 inches and a wheelbase of 114 inches. Width is calculated at 78.1 inches, while the height of the SUV is 66.8 inches. These measurements apply to the two lesser Cayennes in the range - the base model and the Cayenne S. The GTS sits a little lower with a height of 65.5 inches, while its length is slightly greater at 194 inches on the dot.

If you intend to take your Cayenne off-roading, you'll be pleased to know that the standard steel suspension offers 8.2 inches of ground clearance while the available air setup can vary between 7.4 and 9.6 inches. On the physically lower GTS trim, ground clearance is rated between seven and 9.2 inches. Approach and departure angles with steel suspension are 25.2 and 22.1 degrees, respectively, while break-over is rated at 18.7 inches. Air suspension offers 27.5, 24.4, and 21.3 degrees, respectively. On the GTS, these values are again altered to 26.9, 23.7, and 20.5 degrees.

Curb weight on the base Cayenne is rated at 4,582 pounds, while the Cayenne S weighs in at 4,740 lbs, and the GTS tips the scales at 4,954 lbs. The E-Hybrid is the heaviest, though, with this model coming in at 5,164 lbs.
