The 2024 and 2025 Porsche Cayenne S vs. Cayenne E-Hybrid trims are gorgeous examples of Porsche craftsmanship. Situated in the second and third positions within the Cayenne lineup, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid and Porsche Cayenne S showcase some of the SUV’s best features, and their comfortable cabins make them prime choices for daily drivers.
A smooth-finish leather steering wheel and faux black leather seats come standard in the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid and Porsche Cayenne S, but you can choose a leather or club leather interior for beautiful red, green, brown, and white color options. Power seats are included in each build, as are Self-Steering ParkAssist, Surround View with Active Parking Support, and a curved, 12.65-inch instrument cluster display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are also at your fingertips in these outstanding trims.
Curious about extra features and packages? Add an optional passenger-side touchscreen to cover your entire Porsche Cayenne S or Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid dash in digital displays – trust us, the result is worth the slight upcharge. Include a Premium Package when you buy or lease either trim to gain a panoramic roof, a Bose® Surround Sound System, and heated rear seats.
For the most elevated amenities, ask for the Premium Plus Package, which adds ventilated front seats, four-zone climate control, HD-Matrix LED headlights, and so much more on top of the Premium Package features. If you’re wondering about a Cayenne E-Hybrid Platinum Edition trim, talk with the Porsche Atlanta Northeast staff about finding a pre-owned model because this variant exited the lineup a few years back.
Rival crossovers have attempted to embody the same levels of luxury and performance as Porsche Cayenne S vs. Cayenne E-Hybrid trims, but none have been successful. Test drives of these Porsche variants showcase their graceful handling, refined suspensions, crisp cornering, and blazing fast acceleration – we’re talking a 4.6-second Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid 0-60 time, and that’s only the beginning of the greatness this SUV has in store.
The Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid is quick off the line, but the monstrous V-8 of the Porsche Cayenne S pushes you to 60 mph in only 4.7 seconds – or 4.4 seconds when you add the Sport Chrono Package. The experts at Car and Driver believe the Cayenne represents “the de facto benchmark for driving enjoyment in its respective segment,”3 and the team at Porsche Atlanta Northeast agrees.
Make up your mind about the stunning Porsche Cayenne for sale when you stop by our showroom and get behind the wheel. You’ll be itching to find a nearby highway, open up the throttle, and see how this SUV can really move.
As the second trim in the Cayenne family, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid has a lower starting MSRP than its Porsche Cayenne S sibling. This means that you’ll not only gain the clout and class of a Porsche-brand SUV at a more accessible MSRP, but you’ll also enjoy plug-in hybrid power that lowers your weekly fuel costs.
At the same time, we would never turn our noses up at a Porsche Cayenne S. Sure, this midtier trim costs a bit more than a Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid, but its higher MSRP gives you a larger gas-powered engine, a faster 0-60 rate, and a higher top track speed. Plus, you can leverage our Porsche specials to get even more for your money.

Yes, you can switch your Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid to E-Charge mode, which will shift your SUV’s power source to its combustion engine and allow your battery to charge while you’re driving. The Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid also comes with E-Hold, E-Charge, and Hybrid Auto modes so you can minimize fuel consumption and customize your powertrain’s capabilities.
The electric range of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid trim has yet to be evaluated and announced by the EPA, so we cannot estimate this model’s electric-only capabilities. The Porsche Cayenne S gets an EPA-estimated 15/22 MPG (City/Highway) with its gas-powered engine,2 so the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid should give you many more miles of driving with its PHEV design.
The 2024 and 2025 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid trims do not qualify for federal tax credit. However, previous model years of this variant did qualify, meaning you may be eligible for a used EV tax credit. Talk with our Porsche Atlanta Northeast finance department to learn about other state and local tax incentives and our current Porsche lease or finance offers.
