The original Porsche Cayenne entered into the global market to a mixed reception, but it proved itself to have excellent performance for an SUV and had comparably good handling as well as powerful engines.{{cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2004/|title=2004 Porsche Cayenne Review|publisher=JB car pages|access-date=2011-04-03|archive-date=4 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504125824/http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2004/|url-status=live}} The lineup initially consisted of the V8-powered Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo. Later in the model cycle, VR6 and diesel-powered versions joined the lineup. In the eight model years of the E1 generation, a total of 276,652 units were produced.{{cite web|url=https://www.news24.com/life/motoring/bakkies-suvs/bakkie_and_suv/porsche-cayenne-turns-20-and-its-ageing-like-fine-wine-20220530-2|title=Porsche Cayenne turns 20 - and it's ageing like fine wine |publisher=news24 |date=2022-05-30 |access-date=2023-06-15}} The name Cayenne was coined by Manfred Gotta.

The base model Cayenne is powered by a 3.2-L VR6 engine producing {{convert|250|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. The intake manifold is unique to Porsche, but otherwise the engine is largely the same as the VW engine. Acceleration from {{convert|0–100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} is 9.1 seconds with the manual transmission and 9.7 seconds with the Tiptronic S.

The S in the 955 pre-facelift 9PA is powered by a 4.5L V8 engine with a wet-sump lubrication system and variable valve timing. It produces {{Convert|335|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|310|lbft|abbr=on}} of torque. Acceleration from {{convert|0–60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} takes 6.9 seconds and the top speed is {{Convert|150|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2004/specs/|title=2004 Porsche Cayenne Specs|publisher=JB car pages|access-date=2011-04-03|archive-date=20 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720110914/http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2004/specs/|url-status=live}}

Introduced only for 2006 (as a pre-GTS concept), the Cayenne S Titanium Edition was a one-year exclusive, limited production SUV featuring a lightweight steel body, featuring an aluminium hood (lighter than the one equipped on the Cayenne S), titanium-painted accented body parts, side lower rocker body panels, Sport-Quad Tip Exhaust chrome tailpipes, 19" titanium painted alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, two-tone interior upholstery, Porsche PCM 2.0 w/ trip computer navigation, MP3 audio and Bose cabin surround sound. Under the hood, improvements included sport-tuned suspension, an aerodynamic body package, low-range transfer case, locking differential and a 6-speed automatic Tiptronic S transmission. The Cayenne S Titanium Edition is powered by the same 4.5L V8 engine that powered the Cayenne S - still producing {{Convert|335|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|310|lb.ft|N.m|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Acceleration is quicker than the regular Cayenne S from {{convert|0–60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} at 6.2 seconds and the top speed is {{convert|150|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

In the updated 9PA chassis 957 Cayenne S introduced between 2008 and 2010, it featured a direct fuel injection (DFI) 4.8L V8 engine which produces {{convert|385|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|500|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}} of torque. It had a 0–{{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} time of 6.6 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h. The updated V8 engine featured VarioCam Plus which combine variable valve timing with two-stage valve lift on the inlet side.

The E1 Gran-Turismo Sport (GTS) was only offered in the updated 9PA chassis between the year 2008 and 2010. It was the first Porsche of the modern era to feature the GTS abbreviation nameplate in its model designation. Its sporty chassis had been specially developed only for this model variant and it was powered with a performance tuned {{convert|405|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} 4.8 L V8. It also featured a lowered sport suspension, sports exhaust system and {{convert|21|in|mm|0|adj=on}} high performance wheels as standard. It was much lighter than a normal Cayenne and had an aerodynamic wide body kit standard from factory. The Porsche Cayenne GTS had a 0–{{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} time of 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 253 km/h. A six-speed manual transmission was also offered in the GTS.{{cite web|url=http://www.automoblog.net/2008/02/15/porsche-cayenne-gts/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828065726/http://www.automoblog.net/2008/02/15/porsche-cayenne-gts/ |url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-08-28 |title=Porsche Cayenne GTS at the Chicago Auto Show |publisher=Automoblog.net |date=2008-02-15 |access-date=2010-10-03}}

The first-generation 9PA Cayenne Turbo had {{convert|450|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}, and can accelerate from 0–{{convert|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 5.6 seconds. A Turbo S version was built in 2006 to compete with the Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG. The Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S include a low-range case, a locking differential, and height-adjustable, off-road suspension. The Turbo S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.5 L V8 that produces {{convert|521|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|720|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}} of torque; Acceleration from 0–{{convert|60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} takes 5.0 seconds and the top speed is {{Convert|167|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}; It features a six-speed automatic Tiptronic S transmission.File:2007 Porsche Cayenne Turbo - Flickr - The Car Spy (25).jpgIn 2008 an updated 9PA Turbo model, featuring a larger direct fuel injection 4.8-L V8 engine, was revealed at the Beijing Auto Show. It produces {{convert|500|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} more power, and can accelerate from 0–{{convert|60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in 4.9 seconds.{{cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2008/specs/|title=2008 Porsche Cayenne Specs|publisher=JB car pages|access-date=2011-04-03|archive-date=20 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720112503/http://www.jbcarpages.com/porsche/cayenne/2008/specs/|url-status=live}} Also revealed with the new Turbo, was a new {{convert|550|hp||abbr=on|adj=on}} Turbo S model.

The Cayenne S Transsyberia was originally a racing vehicle designed for the Transsyberia rally, in which only 285 were built.{{cite web |last=Nunez |first=Alex |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/15/porsche-cayenne-s-transsyberia-factory-built-rally-goodness/ |title=Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia: factory-built rally machine |publisher=Autoblog.com |date=2007-04-15 |access-date=2010-10-03 |archive-date=5 September 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080905161830/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/15/porsche-cayenne-s-transsyberia-factory-built-rally-goodness/ |url-status=live }}

The street version was later built to commemorate Porsche's victory in the Transsyberia rally. It is only available in the 9PA chassis with the {{Convert|405|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} direct-inject 4.8-L V8 from the Cayenne GTS. Sales began in January 2009, with a targeted production run of 600 road vehicles worldwide (285 for North America), but far fewer were actually built (102 for USA, 17 for Canada including 3 which were 6 speed manual).{{cite web |last=Neff |first=John |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/08/paris-preview-porsche-cayenne-s-transsyberia-special-edition/ |title=Paris Preview: Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia special edition |publisher=Autoblog.com |date=2008-09-08 |access-date=2010-10-03 |archive-date=12 September 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080912135029/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/08/paris-preview-porsche-cayenne-s-transsyberia-special-edition/ |url-status=live }}

The Cayenne was proving successful, so in December 2002 Porsche designers wanted to assess the viability of more Cayenne body styles. They came up 3 alternate body shapes: a coupe style SUV, a convertible SUV and a longer wheelbase 3 row SUV. Porsche designers decided to continue with the idea of a convertible SUV, creating a two-door, non-drivable (due to a lack of strengthening added to the chassis to prevent the car from buckling without a fixed roof) convertible Cayenne that had two alternate designs on the rear. Additionally, its doors were 20 cm longer than the standard Cayenne and it had a shorter A-Pillar than the standard model. Due to the concerns surrounding head room, boot space and rear design the idea was scrapped. However, the coupe style SUV lead to the modern Cayenne Coupe. Moreover, the idea of a longer wheelbase 3 row SUV likely led to the large Porsche SUV which is currently in the prototype stages.{{Cite web |date=2024-04-02 |title=2027 Porsche K1 spy shots: Electric SUV with third-row seats coming |url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1142746_2027-porsche-k1-3-row-suv-spy-shots |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Motor Authority |language=en}}

The third-generation Porsche Cayenne was revealed on August 29, 2017, set to be put on sale in 2019. It is built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform shared with several other luxury crossover SUVs produced by Volkswagen Group, including the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, Audi Q8, Bentley Bentayga, and Lamborghini Urus.{{cite web|url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/porsche-cayenne-world-premiere-livestream-suv-third-generation-14073.html|title=World premiere of the new Cayenne in Zuffenhausen|author=Porsche|publisher=Porsche|date=2017-08-29|access-date=2017-08-30|archive-date=30 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830144942/https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/porsche-cayenne-world-premiere-livestream-suv-third-generation-14073.html|url-status=live}}

For this generation, the Cayenne no longer shares the door design with the Volkswagen Touareg. According to Stephan Lenschow, the Cayenne body product manager, this allows Porsche to give the Cayenne a more 'coke bottle' design. The Cayenne also received a redesigned front end with larger air intakes, more prominent creases along the bonnet, and a lower roofline to align its styling with the Porsche 911.{{Cite web |date=2017-08-29 |title=2019 Porsche Cayenne First Look Review |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2019-porsche-cayenne-first-look-review/ |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}

The wheelbase remains unchanged from the previous generation, but Porsche increased the Cayenne's overall length slightly by about {{convert|63|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The height is slightly lowered by {{convert|9|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and the coefficient of drag is rated at 0.35.{{Cite web |title=This Really Is The New Porsche Cayenne, Honest |url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/this-really-is-the-new-porsche-cayenne-honest/ |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Car Throttle |date=30 August 2017 |language=en}}

Despite a small increase in length, the third-generation Cayenne is lighter by around {{convert|65|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, depending on the configuration, due to the use of a lighter chassis. Aluminium is used extensively throughout the vehicle, including in the doors, roof, hood, rear hatch, as well as its body in white. The ratio of aluminium to high-strength steel is roughly 50-50, according to Lenschow. A lighter lithium-ion polymer starter battery that saves {{convert|10|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} also contributes to its weight distribution, which in base configuration is nearly balanced with approximately 55 percent front and 45 percent rear.

All engine options of the third-generation Cayenne are turbocharged, while diesel engines are no longer offered. All Cayenne models in this generation are equipped with an updated eight-speed "Tiptronic S" transmission that is claimed to provide quicker shifts than before.

Porsche offers optional Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB), which consist of a cast-iron disc with 70 micrometers of tungsten-carbide coating. According to Karl Heess, Porsche director for product line SUV, PSCB reduce brake dust by as much as 50 percent over conventional iron brake discs), and extend the life of the disc by up to 35 percent. It is more expensive than iron discs while still being 50 percent less expensive than the ceramic brake option. Other innovations in this generation include staggered (different width) front and rear tires, and optional rear-axle steering to reduce the turning radius.

In the first quarter of 2022, Porsche sales declined by 5%, but the Cayenne remained the manufacturer's best-selling car.{{Cite web |title=LES VENTES DE PORSCHE EN BAISSE CE TRIMESTRE |url=https://www.autoplus.fr/porsche/les-ventes-de-porsche-en-baisse-ce-trimestre-571360.html |website=autoplus|date=15 April 2022 }}

A model with a more rakish roofline dubbed the Cayenne Coupé became available in 2019. It was revealed during the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019. At launch, there were two sub-models, the Cayenne Coupé and Cayenne Turbo Coupé.

The Cayenne Coupé is extensively reworked from the standard model, featuring a shallower front windshield and narrower A-pillar. The roof is lowered by {{convert|20|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, while new rear door panels and updated fenders extended the vehicle width by {{convert|18|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The drag coefficient is rated at 0.34, which is 0.1 lower than the regular model.{{Cite web |title=Cayenne S Coupé Technical Data |url=https://newsroom.porsche.com/dam/jcr:70b42d64-61d0-46e2-92d7-0ac8f7795fec/PAG_Cayenne_S_Coupe_TD_EN.pdf |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Porsche AG}} Every Cayenne Coupé is equipped with standard {{convert|2.16|sqm|sqft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} fixed-glass panoramic roof, while an optional contoured carbon roof is also available as an option.{{Cite web |title=Porsche Cayenne Coupe Debuts As Prettiest Crossover Coupe Yet |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/314717/porsche-cayenne-coupe-debut-details/ |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Motor1.com |language=en}}

At its introduction in August 2017, Porsche released two versions of the third-generation Cayenne, which are base and Cayenne S.{{Cite web |date=2017-08-29 |title=The new Porsche Cayenne should be even better to drive |url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/new-porsche-cayenne-should-be-even-better-drive |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Top Gear |language=en}} The Cayenne Turbo was released a month later. The Cayenne S used the EA839 2.9 liter twin turbo V6 engine, with larger brake rotors and calipers compared with the base model.

In September 2017, Porsche added the Cayenne Turbo to the line-up. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Cayenne Turbo is powered with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 rated at {{convert|549|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|770|Nm|kgm lbft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} of torque.

In April 2023, the Cayenne was given a mid-cycle refresh for the 2024 model year. Notable changes include a new dashboard layout, similar to that of the Taycan, a fully digital 12.6-inch gauge cluster, and minor exterior restyling modifications for the hood, headlights, bumpers, fenders, and trunk.

Matrix LED headlamps are now equipped as standard equipment across the range, while HD Matrix LED units are optional. The HD Matrix LED features two high-definition modules and more than 32 000 pixels per headlamp, and the pixel accuracy of the headlamp units enables the selective blocking out of parts of the high beam.

In June 2021, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT lapped 7:38:925 at Nürburgring Nordschleife. The car was driven by test driver Lars Kern.{{Cite web |title=Porsche Cayenne performance variant breaks record for fastest SUV around Nürburgring |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/porsche-cayenne-performance-variant-breaks-record-for-fastest-suv-around-nu%cc%88rburgring/2273206/ |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Financialexpress |language=en}}

The Porsche Cayenne is known for some mechanical issues. This includes the failure of the center drive shaft carrier bearing. Cayenne engines using Lokasil or Alusil engine blocks, with exception of the VW-based VR6 six-cylinder engine which has a cast iron block, can suffer from cylinder bore scoring as well.{{cite web |title=Cayenne Bore Scoring |url=https://lnengineering.com/products/watercooled-porsche-cylinders-sleeves-and-pistons/cayenne-macan-panamera.html}} Early V8 Cayenne models came equipped with plastic coolant pipes that would crack and fail, possibly causing the engine to overheat. Subsequent Cayenne S and Turbo engines were fitted with upgraded aluminum coolant pipes to rectify this issue. 958 Cayenne models except Hybrid and V6 Diesel suffer with transfer case problems, and Porsche issued a 10-year warranty on 958.1 (2011–2014) and a 7-year warranty on 958.2 (2015–2018), both with unlimited mileage.{{Cite web |last=Swann |first=Richard |date=2020-09-17 |title=Porsche Extends Transfer Case Warranty for Cayenne & Macan |url=https://www.pcarwise.com/news/porsche-extends-transfer-case-warranty/ |access-date=2024-06-07 |website=PcarWise |language=en-US}}

In 2021, a Chinese manufacturer introduced the Changan Uni-K, which bears a striking resemblance to the Porsche Cayenne, especially from the rear and side profiles. The car was sold for approximately 21,000 euros.{{Cite web |title=Changan Uni-K, le faux Porsche Cayenne chinois à 20 500 euros |url=https://fr.motor1.com/news/527835/changan-unik-suv-porsche-cayenne/ |website=motor1}}{{clear}}
