In terms of performance, the Porsche Cayenne offers a range of engine options, including V6 and V8 engines, generating horsepower that ranges from 335 to 659. While it may not match the raw power of the Urus S, the Cayenne still delivers an exhilarating driving experience.

When it comes to features, the Cayenne boasts a luxurious and comfortable interior, with high-quality materials and advanced technology. Its infotainment system and driver-assistance features are on par with the Urus S, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience.
