Notes
- Generation codes differ by source: English Wikipedia gives model codes 9YA/9YB and body codes 9Y0 (SUV) and 9Y3 (Coupé); German Wikipedia uses 'Typ PO536'; Porsche uses 'E3'. The slug 'e3' uses Porsche's own designation. All of these are recorded as codes.
- Cayenne Coupé: Porsche's press release presenting it is dated 21 March 2019, and it had its exhibition (Asian) premiere at Auto Shanghai in April 2019. English Wikipedia says it 'was revealed during the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019', which is inconsistent with Porsche's earlier release.
- Porsche figures that differ from English Wikipedia: 2017 Cayenne S torque 550 Nm (Porsche) vs 549 Nm (WP table); 2023 Cayenne S 349 kW (474 PS) (Porsche) vs 475 PS (WP).
- Porsche's dimension figures are not recorded here yet. English Wikipedia gives only ranges (length 4,918–4,929 mm, Coupé 4,931–4,942 mm), so only the wheelbase is recorded. Porsche says the Cayenne Electric is 55 mm longer than the combustion model.
- English Wikipedia says sales began in 2019, which conflicts with the 2017 launch (Porsche held press drives in 2017). This is not recorded. Model years 2019–present are given without a market.
