2023 Porsche Cayenne vs 2023 Porsche Macan

When you ask the average person what comes to mind when they think about the Porsche brand, they will probably think of performance-inspired sports cars. The Porsche heritage does trace its roots back to iconic sports cars like the Porsche 911 but Porsche has now unveiled two SUVs that have become their best sellers: The Porsche Macan and the Porsche Cayenne. The Macan is the smallest Porsche SUV and is also the most popular Porsche model. Here's a comparison of the Porsche Macan and the Porsche Cayenne to help you decide between the two.

Engines and performance in the new Porsche Macan

When it's running with the base turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the new Porsche Macan zipped from zero to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds. If you want more speed, you can upgrade to the twin-turbocharged V6-powered S trim that can be propelled from zero to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The Porsche Macan feels remarkably like a sports sedan with its smooth, carefully-controlled ride.

Engines and performance in the new Porsche Cayenne

The base engine in the new Cayenne is a 335-horsepower turbocharged V6. For a bigger dose of adrenaline, go with the twin-turbocharged V6 in the Cayenne S trim and you'll get 434 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid combines an electric motor and a turbocharged V6 to give Kendall FL buyers 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. With the Cayenne GTS, you'll get a twin-turbo V8 with 460 horsepower. The new Porsche Cayenne with the 3.0-liter turbo V6 can race from zero to 60 mph in a scintillating 5.9 seconds
