Porsche Cayenne in short
The Cayenne is Porsche's large luxury SUV, and the facelifted (E3) petrol range in India runs six variants from ₹1.51 crore for the standard car to ₹2.13 crore for the GTS Coupé — every price straight from Porsche's India configurator. Each bodystyle comes two ways: SUV or Coupé, in standard, Black Edition and GTS forms, all with Porsche's Tiptronic torque-converter automatic. It fights the Mercedes GLE and BMW X5 on price but the Range Rover Sport on character.

The Macan is a two-generation story in one showroom: the previous-generation petrol Macan continues at ₹91.09 lakh with a 265 PS 2.0L turbo — the cheapest way into a new Porsche in India — while the new-generation Macan is electric-only, from ₹1.22 crore for the base Macan Electric through the 4S at ₹1.63 crore to the Turbo at ₹1.78 crore. That petrol car is the entry point to the whole brand. Rivals span the Mercedes GLC and BMW X3 (petrol) to the BMW iX and Audi electric SUVs.
