The luxury SUV is quite heavy on the pocket, with a starting price of Rs 2 crore (ex-showroom), and the Coupe GTS comes at a Rs 1.36 lakh premium over the standard model.

The Cayenne GTS gets Porsche’s Sport Design package as a standard fit. This pack has multiple features, like a glossy black finish on the wheel arches, the bottom of the wing mirror, the front grill, the rear diffuser, and side skirts. You also get a bold GTS badge at the sides, while the badges at the rear have a matte black finish.

The bulky SUV comes in seven standard colour options: White, Black, Dolomite Silver, Carrara White, Quartzite Grey, Carmine Red and Cashmere Beige.
