Porsche has brought two variants of the Cayenne Coupe in India – standard and Turbo – and they have a price of Rs 1.31 crores and Rs. 1.97 crores respectively.
Porsche has finally launched the Cayenne Coupe in India. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe comes in two variants – the standard and the Turbo variant – just like the normal Cayenne. The Cayenne Coupe comes to India as CBU (completely built unit). While the standard Porsche Cayenne Coupe has a price of Rs 1.31 crores in India, the Cayenne Coupe Turbo costs Rs 1.97 crores. That makes it Rs 12 lakhs and Rs 5 lakhs more expensive than the price of the standard Porsche Cayenne and the Cayenne Turbo respectively in India (all prices, ex-showroom, pan-India).
Visually, the Cayenne Coupe looks similar to the regular SUV until you reach the rear quarter. The Cayenne Coupe has a roofline which is 20mm lower than the standard SUV and the A-pillar has also been made shallower, accentuating the sloping roofline. It is also wider than the regular Cayenne by 18 mm which has resulted in wider rear tracks as well. Porsche is also offering two different roof concept on the Cayenne Coupe – a panoramic glass roof as standard or an optional carbon fiber roof.
The coupe SUV also gets Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) where the spoiler extends by 135 mm at speeds of 90 kmph and up, increasing the contact pressure on the rear axle, while PAA simultaneously enhances efficiency. Not every manufacturer has been able to give a Coupe SUV the best proportions but Porsche has done a very good job with design of the Cayenne Coupe. Porsche is also offering different alloy design for the 20-inch wheels.
The base Cayenne Coupe will be powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine with 340PS and 450Nm. It can sprint the SUV from 0-100 kph in just 6 seconds and has a top-speed of 243 kph. Meanwhile, the Cayenne Coupe Turbo is powered by a 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine developing 550PS and 770Nm. With this engine, the Cayenne Coupe will do the 0-100 kph sprint in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 286 kmph. Both the engines come paired up with an 8-speed automatic gearbox which is not a PDK unit. The top-spec Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid Coupe with the 680hp V8 PHEV powertrain might be introduced at a later stage.
