Book a 1-on-1 car buying consultation today at http://petrolheadpodcasts.com/services/ Hi guys, and welcome back to Petrolhead Podcasts. The Porsche Cayenne GTS is a driver-focused version of the Cayenne SUV and delivers an impressive blend of power, handling and all-round usability. The Cayenne GTS has recently been updated with the same styling and technology changes the regular Cayenne models received in 2024, plus a power bump. Sadly, the updates have also come with a hefty price increase, and the Cayenne GTS is now priced about 20,000 dollars more than the pre-refresh 2023 model, and more importantly, is now right in line with the full-fat BMW X5 M Competition and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63s, two SUVs that have power levels which are more comparable to the flagship Cayenne Turbo and Turbo GT models. So, can the Cayenne GTS justify its high price tag, and can it compete with the similarly priced BMW and Mercedes? Join me as I go through an in-depth comparison to give you the answer. Today, we will be comparing the 2026 Cayenne GTS, which has a starting MSRP of $132,250, to the 2026 X5 M Competition, which has a starting MSRP of $130,875, and the 2026 GLE 63s, which has a starting MSRP of $132,950.
