The Porsche Cayenne Coupe is a sporty SUV that came onto the market in 2019. It is based on the Cayenne type PO536, but has a flatter roof and a more dynamic design. The coupe has space for four or five people, depending on whether you choose the optional rear seat or individual seats. The Boot capacity is 625 liters, which can be expanded to 1540 liters if you fold down the rear seats. The Cayenne Coupé is of course in different versions available, some of which differ greatly in terms of motorization and equipment. The basic version has a 3,0 liter V6 turbo petrol engine with 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque (since 2023 with 353 HP & 500 NM).
