Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 6th of 22 in Top speed (264 km/h). 6th of 22 in Top speed (264 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 12,0 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW X5 M Competition (1st with 3.8 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe (1st with 285 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.7 s 0-100 (11th of 22 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Cayenne S ranks 11th of 22 in 0–100 km/h, 0.9 s off the reference BMW X5 M Competition (3.8 s).

Top speed: 264 km/h (6th of 22 in Top speed)

Top speed of 264 km/h. The segment reference reaches 285 km/h.

Porsche Cayenne S: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Cayenne S rank in its segment?

Among the 22 E-SUV 2017–2021, the Cayenne S ranks 11th of 22 in 0–100 km/h (4.7 s, behind the BMW X5 M Competition), 6th of 22 in Top speed (264 km/h, behind the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe), 9th of 22 in Power-to-weight (218 hp/t, behind the BMW X6 M Competition).

How much does the Cayenne S cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a BMW X5 M Competition instead?

The BMW X5 M Competition leads in 0–100 km/h (3.8 s vs 4.7 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Cayenne S vs BMW X5 M Competition duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
