The third-generation Cayenne, codenamed 9Y0, debuted for the 2019 model year on the VW Group's MLB Evo platform. The Cayenne S initially used a potent 2.9L twin-turbo V6 producing 434 hp, offering a significant performance jump over the base model. The big news came with the 2024 facelift (internally 9Y3), which saw the S model get a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 468 hp, a move that delighted enthusiasts who missed the V8's character.
The Cayenne S is a top choice for buyers wanting a versatile performance SUV. It's a capable daily driver, a competent track vehicle with the right options, and a comfortable long-distance tourer. The return of the V8 engine has boosted the desirability of later models, creating a distinct split in the market between the earlier V6 and the updated V8 variants.
Market values reflect this split. Early V6-powered Cayenne S models from 2019-2023 have seen significant depreciation and can represent a strong value. Newer 2024+ V8 models trade for much closer to their original sticker price, especially examples loaded with desirable options like the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC). The average sale price sits around $94,000, indicating a healthy mix of both V6 and V8 models changing hands.
Buying Tips
- Decide between the 2.9L twin-turbo V6 (2019-2023) and the more powerful 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (2024+). The V8 offers a more dramatic experience but at a much higher price point.
- Options are critical. Look for cars with performance-enhancing features like the Sport Chrono Package, Rear Axle Steering, and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).
- Inspect the brakes carefully. The optional Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) offer incredible performance, but their replacement costs are substantial.
- A complete service history from a Porsche dealer or a certified specialist is essential. These are complex machines that require proper, documented maintenance.
- Test every electronic component, from the PCM infotainment system to the driver aids. Diagnosing and fixing electrical issues can be time-consuming and expensive.
Prices for the Porsche Cayenne S range from $27,000 for early high-mileage examples to $165,270 for highly optioned, late-model variants.
