All-New 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS review // The V8 GTS is back!

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS performance, luxury SUV. We are having some fun in Atlanta driving the NEW Porsche Cayenne GTS! 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS is powered by a 4L twin-turbo V8 with an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission, 493 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. Premium fuel is required.
This 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS V8 has gone through extensive updates that has resulted in efficiency gains and an increase in performance, an extra 40 horsepower and 29 lb-ft of torque compared to the previous model. The revised 8-speed transmission improves the driving performance through shorter shift times in sport and sport plus modes.
The 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.
The 2025 model has a GTS specific chassis, a 10 mm lower ride height, adaptive air suspension, Porsche active suspension management and Porsche torque vectoring plus.
All 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS models have black GTS lettering on the side and rear of the vehicle, a unique front with bigger cooling air intakes, dark tinted headlamps and taillamps, red brake calipers and dark exterior accents. The sports exhaust system tailpipes are now finished in dark bronze, the previous model came in black and you get 21” RS Spyder design wheels in grey.
The interior of the 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS is clean and simplistic with integrated screens, a 12.6” digital driver display, a 12.3” touchscreen with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and an available 10.9” passenger screen. The standard Race-tex and leather upholstery, heated GT sports steering wheel and GTS badging ups the sportiness of the cabin. Of course, there are plenty of add-ons including leather upholstery in a variety of colours and trim accents to design your GTS exactly the way you want it.
The 2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS starts at $134,800 CAD/$124,900 USD and the Coupé $139,800 CAD//$129,500 USD

Nobody NEEDS this SUV. But I WANT this SUV.

💯%

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

Ordering one this week!

[@housepianist]

Well, the GTS is half the price of a 911 Turbo S and can carry two more people. There! I’ve justified buying one! 😂

[@m3tek44]

I can see Andrea driving new 2025 Porsche Cayenne. She's loving this, Zack!! time to upgrade? 🙂

[@stevecastro22]

Hahaha- You were both very enthusiastic today! Gee, I wonder why???

[@owenmcdonald5922]

You didn't need words on this review. The smiles said it all.

[@robwoods5434]

You two are near the top of my list when it comes to auto reviews. It speaks volumes about the quality of the Porsche Cayenne that you've owned three over the years. That's quite an endorsement!

[@bradeweathers3080]

This car looks amazing. I'm really happy you guys help people with these reviews. I have learned so much since I have found your channel

Amazing video Andrea and Zack! Loved the intro

[@MichaelAllen-td1uu]

Very impressive Porsche. Not everyone can afford this cayenne and its maintenance schedule and that’s the point

[@10OF9OFBORG]

Ooohhh! I love this vehicle and I want to buy one. Cool vehicle! Too bad nothing standard. Oh well, you had fun driving it. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️

[@johnholst]

Just my opinion perhaps, but I really feel like this is a step backwards for Porsche. While I'm sure it drives incredibly, I just can't get over that cheap looking dash setup. I couldn't cough up all that money for something that looks like it's from an economy car. When mainstream cars use black plastic, you can understand. When luxury brands do it? No thanks.

[@citibear57]

Did Andrea like the new Cayenne? Heck ya! Just look at her beaming face throughout this video. If I was able to afford a Porsche I would go with one of their suv's. Although the 911 Targa is my favourite, I doubt that I would be able to get into it on a daily basis due to back issues.

Hi Andrea and Zack nice Porsche but I like more your 2024 Golf GTI love it good video ( Ty RON

[@ddrennon]

Porsche's a'la carte configurator is notorious for quickly stacking up the price. Love love LOVE the screens integrated into the dash, but the piano black is a bit of a disappointment. One thing that has always bugged me: Porsche does not offer OEM trailer brake control, which is an absolute must-have for towing. Another fine review.

[@Marc-nc9yv]

I have had 2 Cayenne S models and currently drive a 24 X5 M60i. I have had 12 X5's and will say the Cayenne is better, but BMW service is better for me at least. I will be going back to Cayenne next time and it will be the GTS, but wow have they raised the price.

Hi, I currently have a 2021 Cayenne S and I am considering getting a 2021 or 2022 GTS or a Turbo. I wanted to get you alls opinion on which would be the recommended purchase between the 2022 RANGE ROVER SPORT or one of the cayennes I mentioned?

[@kevinmy1208]

I love Porsche V8, it’s awesome

[@EGW769]

Hi guys great car, great review but very expensive! I can see a lot of Cayenne buyers looking for super car performance moving over to the new cheaper Macan Turbo EV which has more space now and still have money left over to spend on extras! best Clive

@motormouth - I love your insightful videos. I have a question - I am in love with the Porsche Panamera 4E - Hybrid.. but in Ontario it costs around 150K... thats a lot. If I have only 90K with me.. is there any Panamera like vehicle out in the Canadian Market ? What can i get under 100K ?

Do you think a PDK would make this SUV better or would it not make much difference? I’d love to know your thoughts on this. More power to you both!

[@MrCodyswanson]

All that piano black, that's why I'm not getting one. 😂 Honestly though, the interior looks cheap. I'm not sure if it's the piano black or the silly iPads they've stuck in the dash.

[@MIZUNOMP60]

Most of us can dream about owning any Cayenne trim much like that fly at 5.00 on the door panel 😀

[@olegshulman7764]

I own 22 Macan GTS love love this SUV, but time to upgrade size, power and look. Going to order Carrera white with black interior and all black out features. Just finished built on porsche website about $145K, pretty loaded, but w/o crazy options. Hopefully will get before Xmass…..

[@michaelmatusa11]

I think the S is the sweet spot but nothing wrong with the GTS.

[@chiefputty]

Very surprised on the low power figures. I was hoping for at least 550 (replacing the old turbo numbers, just like they did with the Macan GTS). 493 is just not enough power for something this heavy. Just look at Audi's RSQ8 power numbers, same engine and makes this one look anemic. 100 more HP and 100 more lb-ft for the same price.

[@whatgaca]

One problem with Cayenne is depreciation. 3 years, 50% down

I need that gesture control because I got cut off in traffic and found myself making an ob-, er, less than friendly, gesture at my fellow driver and something to control that would be just great. Those Germans are so stoic they likely don't need it at all.

Andrea and Zack, will you be upgrading your current Cayenne to this? 😀

She said No. You don't believe it?

[@chuckwalla2967]

In this day and age, is it responsible to drive a V8?

[@billurban1581]

Let’s see, about 8% more power, about 8% less torque, than my Volvo (and we’ve all learned how important torque is) . . . But about US$92,000 less and 4X the mpg. And there’s this, Car and Driver says 5,100 lbs!, 600 more than my Volvo carting around a 41 mile battery!

[@qiqi7226]

nice，but i bought the 2022 gts

[@savedfaves]

Two things: what is with expensive cars having only one wireless charger? They should all have FOUR. Two in the front and two in the rear. At the very least. Road trip, put down your phone and leave it charge. Secondly, because of that black wide mouth of the front face darker colours and colours that go better with black (such as red) suit the design much more than white and light colours, IMO.

[@JohnSmith-uz3dt]

Andrea, tennis date after the review.

[@teriok6783]

And Porsche feeds generated engine sound into the cabin just like BMW but no one complains. Interesting.

[@H2SO4H20]

I've complained but the Porsche dealership pleads ignorance and won't attempt to deactivate the "Soundaktor" which is the exact same system used in some VW's. At least the Soundaktor is emitting real amplified mechanical noise and not recordings composed by Hans Zimmer through interior speakers like in BMW's. I'd be really unhappy if the Soundakor was active in Normal mode but it only functions in Sport and Sport Plus modes as far as I can tell. My "problem" with the Cayenne GTS is that sound insulation found in other Cayenne trims has been reduced to allow more mechanical and exhaust noise into the cabin - might be fun if I was 16 years old.

[@teriok6783]

@@H2SO4H20 the Zimmer sound effect is only in their EV side of the house. Their M side of the house produces the same piped in sound effects as Porsche.

[@H2SO4H20]

@@teriok6783 Yeah, I was jerking your chain with the Hans Zimmer comment but it's good to see that you are knowledgeable. (BTW, Zimmer is one of my favorite film score composers.) The mechanical noise is augmented but not really "piped in" by the Soundaktor which is in the engine compartment with what I call the "noise transfer component" attached to the firewall. I had hoped that the Porsche dealership would offer to shut it off with its PIWIS software since it can be shut off on a VW with similar diagnostic / customization software but that was a no go. It doesn't bother me enough to pursue the matter. R U a BMW owner? I had planned to by an X7 instead of a Cayenne but couldn't wake the BMW salesman from his afternoon nap.

[@teriok6783]

@@H2SO4H20 I had a X7 and now have a 2024 Range Rover Autobiography PHEV. I am seriously considering a XB7 which is the same price as the Cayenne GTS. The X7 was the best vehicle that I’ve had in recent history and I really miss it.

3:06 a mass of "rich people" you forgot that part.

[@robertallen5210]

This vehicle is developed to a different (lower) spec than its immediate predecessor (2019 - 2023 9Y0.1 Cayenne.) Material quality - particularly the interior has been reduced. Standard features have become extra-cost.

[@PhilT993]

Why, oh why do seemingly all manufacturers insist on sticking piano black surfaces in their high end vehicles? Just about every reviewer and anyone I know thinks it is a terrible idea!! It constantly shows dust and finger prints and is guaranteed to scratch very easily. Every car should come with a free roll of Mactac of your choice.

[@H2SO4H20]

My Cayenne is just under two years old and there's not a single scratch on any of the piano black plastic. I clean it and the screens every month or three with a microfiber cloth and screen cleaner spray which takes only a minute or two. I've wondered what people are doing to get these parts scratched up ... allowing dogs to run through the interior?

[@blazinmark1]

Amazing platform, as a 2024 X5 M60i owner, (which is already pushing $110,000) gives you 90% of the drive and 110% of the function. I don't see the extra value in the $40,000 upcharge for the "badge".

[@jonyqst]

Maybe just say 'Put it to subscribe' than 'Put it in S'

[@wrxzboost]

I feel better about my '22 GTS purchase last year. The new interior is an abomination. Weird shifter placement, oddly cutout dashboard, all electronic gauges, gloss black body trim standard, wtf?, integrated screens are overkill. There's literally nothing I feel I'm missing. The power increase is a mute point because you can do an ECU flash and get 200hp for $1k if you want it. Porsche wasted their time in this model.
