The 2019 Porsche Cayenne brings European sports car prowess to the luxury SUV segment, making it a strong choice among discerning families in Arcadia. Check out the difference between the new Porsche Cayenne base model and the Porsche Cayenne S, and then test drive them both at Rusnak/Pasadena Porsche.
Both of these luxury sport SUVs sit in an elite segment, but they are tailored to somewhat different budgets.
Sitting on the same platform, both of these SUVs come standard with a variety of premium features, including partial leather upholstery and a 12.4-inch Porsche Connect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. No matter which model you choose, you’ll also get comfortable seating for five adult passengers and a max cargo area of 60.4 cubic feet. However, by upgrading to the Porsche Cayenne S, you’ll also be getting bigger alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof, and a number of additional performance features listed below.
The Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Cayenne S both come with a dynamic all-wheel drive (AWD) system that gives you extra traction in inclement weather, as well as a standard 8-speed DPK transmission and Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA). However, there are a couple of key differences between these models on the performance front.
