Porsche Macan vs. Cayenne: Performance

Whether you choose the Porsche Macan or Cayenne, you’ll find powerful engines and impressive performance under the hood. The Macan, following its more affordable pricing and limited trim options, has fewer engine options to choose from but enough power to keep you moving. That said, the Porsche Cayenne offers many more engine and drivetrain options, including E-Hybrid models for added electrical power and fuel efficiency, that can’t be beaten. See the main differences here:

  • Base Engines: The 2023 Macan comes with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine capable of up to 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The base engine on the 2023 Cayenne is a 3.0L turbocharged V6 able to reach 335 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, making it the stronger base engine.
  • Macan Engine Upgrades: For more power on the Macan, you have two additional engines to choose from, both V6 engines capable of up to 375 hp and 434 hp respectively.
  • Cayenne Engine Upgrades: Accessing more power is easy on the 2023 Porsche Cayenne. With no less than five drivetrain options available across the SUV and Coupe lineups, along with the powerful and efficient E-Hybrid models, Pineville drivers can find the power they need on the Cayenne they want. At the top of its range, the Cayenne can reach up to 670 hp and 663 lb-ft of torque.

Porsche Cayenne vs. Macan: Seating Capacity & Cargo Space

If space is what you’re after, both the Macan and the Cayenne offer spacious cabins with more than enough cargo room to fit your favorite gear. The space you’ll receive will depend on what body style you choose for the Cayenne, but both are able to top the smaller Macan:

  • Maximum Porsche Macan Cargo Space: Up to 52.9 cubic feet
  • Maximum Porsche Cayenne Cargo Space: Up to 60.3 cubic feet (SUV), or up to 54.3 cubic feet (Coupe)

As for seating, the Macan or Cayenne SUV will offer the same amount, but switching to the Cayenne Coupe will lower your overall seating capacity:

  • Maximum Porsche Macan Seating Capacity: Up to 5 passengers
  • Maximum Porsche Cayenne Seating Capacity: Up to 5 passengers (SUV), or up to 4 passengers (Coupe)
