On the inside, the car bears ample of similarities with the Panamera and standard Cayenne. Sitting at the centre of the dash is a 12.3-inch touchscreen, feather-touch buttons for the air conditioner and audio controls, and the Porsche three-spoke steering wheel. In addition to this, the Coupe also gets an all-black interior theme with a panoramic sunroof.

The standard package comes with auto LED headlamps, four-zone climate control, cruise control, leather upholstery, 18-way adjustable front seats, a rear camera, and front and rear parking sensors. In terms of safety, the car gets eight airbags, Isofix child-seat mounts, ABS with EBD, and brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, hill-start and hill-descent assist across the range.

The base Cayenne Coupe is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol V6 engine that churns out 340hp and 450Nm of torque while the turbo trim gets a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that outputs 550hp and 770Nm of torque. Both the options supplied the power to all four wheels through an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
