Porsche 958 Cayenne S

The second-generation Cayenne (958) debuted for the 2011 model year, representing a major step forward from its predecessor. Porsche focused on reducing weight, and the new Cayenne S shed nearly 400 pounds despite being larger. Its styling was also significantly improved, with a sleeker profile and Panamera-inspired interior that felt far more modern and luxurious.

The Cayenne S is particularly notable because early 958.1 models (2011-2014) came equipped with a 400 hp, 4.8L naturally aspirated V8. This engine provides a classic V8 soundtrack and linear power delivery that many enthusiasts prefer over the twin-turbo V6 that replaced it in the 2015 facelift. Paired with a standard 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic, it's a capable and engaging performance SUV.

Today, the 958.1 Cayenne S sits in a sweet spot on the market. With an average sale price around $22,000, it's an accessible entry into modern Porsche ownership. While well-maintained, low-mileage examples command higher prices, many have depreciated to a point where they are compelling alternatives to newer, less powerful SUVs. Condition and service history are the primary drivers of value.

Prices range from as low as $3,300 for project cars to nearly $87,000 for pristine, low-mileage examples.
