2023 Cayenne Coupe Interior

We're happy to report that Porsche went for a 2+2 interior layout rather than marketing the Cayenne Coupe as a five-seater. Rear headroom may be tight, but at least both passengers get their own comfortable bucket-like seat with decent side bolstering. Material quality is good, even though the Cayenne only comes standard with partial leather seats. The ergonomics are spot-on, with all the primary driving-related settings housed next to the shifter. An expensive-looking analog Sport Chrono meter is mounted on top of the dashboard, adding a touch of class in a sea of modern technology. We like the various touch-sensitive interfaces, but these newfangled haptic feedback buttons require some getting used to. They don't always respond immediately, but we do like the concept. Perhaps that's something Porsche can work on in the future.

Seating and Interior Space

The front seats feature black bolsters that flatten when you turn the car off for easier entry and exit, and accent the white and black pattern mentioned above. Those Cayenne seats have plenty of adjustment, fitting anyone from a professional figure skater to a strongman.

The front seat feels roomy, with suede covering most of the touch points. The bolsters also flatten when the car turns off, meaning it is easy to slip back into them before they tighten up when reentering the vehicle.

At the back, a 2+1 seating arrangement is an option and adds a narrower center rear seat. In the outboard seats, there is plenty of space for an average human with another average human in the front seat. Headroom is fine for a 5-foot-10 adult or two, but three adults in the back would be tight.

Interior Colors and Materials

All models in the range have the same interior options, with minor changes in pricing as you upgrade the upholstery. On the base Cayenne Coupe, standard partial leather options include the no-cost Black, Slate Grey, and Black/Silver Houndstooth. Oddly, the Houndstooth upholstery requires equipping the Lightweight Sport Package, for a total outlay of $15,150. The Black/Mojave Beige option costs an additional $390. After this, there are many more upholstery choices depending on your taste and budget.

A Race-Tex leather interior in Black/Silver Houndstooth is available for $3,760 on the GTS, but once again requires the Lightweight Sport Package. There are multiple full leather interior options available with standard Black and Slate Grey, each adding $3,760 to the price. Black/Bordeaux Red, Black/Mojave Beige (also requires heated front seats for $530), Slate Grey/Mojave Beige, and Graphite Blue/Chalk cost $4,180 each.

There are two Club Leather options. Truffle Brown costs $5,170, while a mix of Truffle Brown and Cohiba Brown retails for $5,740. Both of these options require the addition of 14-way power front seats for $1,680. The GTS ships standard with a black Race-Tex and leather interior, but two GTS interior packages are available. The Black/Chalk and Black/Carmine Red add $2,970 each. The same leather and Club Leather options are also available to the GTS, but they have much lower prices.

2023 Cayenne Coupe Trunk and Cargo Space

The Cayenne Coupe's design impacted cargo capacity, but there's still enough of it left over for the vehicle to be considered spacious. It has 22 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which is plenty for four people. The GTS has a slightly smaller trunk, measuring in at 21.1 cubes, and the E-Hybrid the smallest trunk of all at 17.6 cubes. That's smaller than both the BMW X6 with 27.4 cubic feet behind the second row and the Mercedes GLE Coupe with 27.5 cubic feet. The rear seats can be folded down in a 40/20/40 split, increasing the cargo capacity to 54.3 cubes in the Cayenne/Cayenne S, 53.4 cubes in the GTS, and 50.8 cubes in the E-Hybrid.

Interior storage space is plentiful. Because there's no rear middle seat, rear passengers get their own center armrest with storage. Front passengers also get a center armrest and two cupholders. The door pockets are large all around, which means this impractical-looking SUV is more sensible than you might think.

2023 Cayenne Coupe Infotainment and Features

Features

All new Cayenne Coupes are reasonably rather than generously equipped as standard. All models get a power rear liftgate, a fixed panoramic glass roof, heated side mirrors, an adaptive rear spoiler, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, keyless entry with push-button start, parking sensors front and rear, and a rearview camera. The eight-way adjustable front sport seats include power adjustment of the seat height and backrest angle. Platinum Edition models get heated front seats, and ambient interior lighting. The GTS has model-specific sport seats, while both it and the Platinum Editions get adaptive LED lights that swivel based on the steering angle. All models are equipped with the Sport Chrono Package as standard, which, among other things, includes launch control.

There are numerous features available on the options list. Many of these should be standard considering the Cayenne Coupe's price, and we're referring to items like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and adaptive cruise control. Other options include a 360-degree camera system, quad-zone climate control, and massaging front seats.

Infotainment

Porsche's 12.3-inch touchscreen interface remains and was improved last year, finally receiving (wired) Android Auto. Buyers also get wireless Apple CarPlay, connected navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, voice control, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, and a 10-speaker sound system. The system is miles ahead of the previous Porsche unit and is generally easy to learn. Extras include a 14-speaker Bose sound system, which comes standard on Platinum Edition models, or a 21-speaker setup from Burmester. The GTS we had on test was equipped with the Bose system and seemed plenty loud. One can also spec a pair of 10.1-inch rear-seat entertainment screens with Bluetooth and SD card compatibility, as well as headphones. As standard, the system includes a pair of USB-C ports in each row.
