A Porsche for Every Pocketbook: The 2025 Cayenne GTS
Porsche knows how to slice its product line like no other carmaker. Look at the myriad variations of the 911. And that clinical categorization carries over to the 2025 Cayenne GTS. In price, it falls between the Cayenne S and the Turbo E-Hybrid. Performance-wise, it’s closer to the S.
What Makes the GTS Stand Out?
The GTS gets a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 from the S, with 25 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque. It also includes upgrades like Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), and lowered ride height. For extra performance, buyers can add rear-wheel steering, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), and carbon ceramic brakes.
Exterior and Interior Enhancements
The GTS adds a few optional extras as standard. It gets the SportDesign exterior package and 21-inch RS Spyder wheels. Inside, it gets eight-way adjustable sport seats that aren’t offered on the S.
Price and Value
The GTS starts at $126,895, while building a Cayenne S with the same features would cost more. So, the GTS is actually a bit of a bargain.
Driving Experience
The GTS is a joy to drive, with sharp throttle response, precise steering, and a surprising amount of feedback. The chassis is tight and predictable, and traction is copious. The GTS feels nimble and responsive on winding roads.
Cabin Comfort and Features
Like other Cayennes, the GTS has a conservative interior with exquisite build quality. The screens are vivid, and the software is smooth. The automatic shifter is a solid metal piece with a tight action. Inside, it’s quiet unless you want to hear the sport exhaust.
Conclusion
The 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS is an excellent version of an excellent SUV. It’s got most of the performance goodies you could want, along with a couple of special pieces, and it all comes together to be one of the best driver’s SUVs out there. If you have the means, you can’t go wrong with it.
