Totally agree. The bottom side bolsters are way too high and wrinkle too quickly, despite having more ways to adjust. The integrated headrest design does look cool however.

Very subjective matter. I did not like the 14 way at all compared to the 18. Had 14 way ordered and switched instantly after trying the 18 way at the dealer. You sit “on” 14 way and sit “in” 18 way

theirs an *** for every seat my dealer told me..we personally love the 18way…
BTW, afraid to order the massage seats, since that ruined our comfort level in the x7 bmw..felt the bladders on a cold day!

I wouldn't bother with massage seats, have them in my wife's x5 and in a prior Audi, novel but never really use them. Never tried the porsche version but figure they would be about as useless. Easier to get out and stretch if you're on a really long road trip, which you'll be doing for gas anyway if your driving correctly . save +/-$1k also.
I'm in agreement on the 18 ways as I love them but everyone has different preferences, best to try all options if you can, also if trying the 18 ways at the dealer make sure the lower bolsters are wide open, this would mimic the 8 way, but also would make it easier to get in/out of them. I sat in one car in the dealership years ago and thought getting over the bolster was a bit firm/high, but liked the seat so ordered it, then never had that issue on any of my cars, imagine it was set to 'snug'.

OK, how about Wheel options? I'd like to know if you guys will go for 21 or 22 inches wheel. I am on the fence...

I went with 21” RS Spyder on my S but if I could go back I’d spec the 22” exclusive design in high gloss black. Probably same when order a GTS in a few years although the anthracite grey 21” look great as well.

I'm on 21" wheels - the ride is pretty firm on rough roads so I wouldn't want a larger wheel where I drive, but if you are on mainly smooth roads, I think the 22" wheels would be fine. But mine is a 2021 model year so I'm not sure how the changes for MY2024 affect the ride.

Buckett76

I'm going 22's, problem is I may need to aftermarket them if the 22inch from the Turbo GT only come with the LW package as I need the hitch and can't do the center exhaust. I expect to get a bit blocked on my perfect spec with the way the options will work, but we'll see once the config opens.
I have 21's on my 20 S Coupe and they are fine around here, in low setting with full pasm it can be rough on some side streets but in normal its fine. But depends on what you are used to also.

went for a ride in my buddy’s ‘23 turbo GT a couple days ago and the 22” wheels made the ride very rough for what I would want out of a daily driver. But man do they look great

I think I’m going to find a 21” wheel I love for my GTS build

So I would always pick the smallest wheel size possible for the smooth ride and wanted to throw in my two cents. I just picked up a new-to-me 2020 Cayenne Turbo last week that has the 22's configured. Surprisingly, even with those wheels, I'm quite satisfied with the ride comfort. Confirming that this is on air suspension and Michelin PS4S tires. I'd still prefer any added comfort I can get so not discouraging the smaller-wheel-size selection, just wanted to offer another data point. I do wonder if the Turbo GT comes with higher spring rates or "stiffer" air suspension programming if there are not also springs in the air struts. Might be worth considering.

I have the 18-ways also and love them. My first Cayenne so ymmv.

Buckett76

good point, my cayenne has air suspension too, a must for me, especially if you plan to tow something

The Cayenne Turbo has a more "luxury ride" than the GTS, which sportier and is stiffer to begin with so 22's on a 2025 GTS could yield a different result. It's hard to know at this point what the GTS ride will be like on 22's or 21's. I hate ordering without test driving.

ENCT

The 24 Cayennes have a higher sidewall. 22's should ride like the 21's from the previous model. This is the first thing my SA pointed out when we ordered our Turbo Hybrid, the 21's look like truck tires now.

I’m first on the waitlist at my local dealership—been pricing options in my head and the GTS will easily reach upper 150s. I am slightly concerned that the current .2 model will only have another 2 years of life (based on past cayenne history where .2s usually only have 3 years total life) with the next Cayenne generation coming out in 2027. Does anybody have any information on when the next generation will be released? Thanks.

jo2134

I’m not 100% but I believe I’ve seen it posted here that it has been confirmed by Porsche that the 9Y0.2 will be in production until MY2030 when the Cayenne will be exclusively electric. I certainly hope this is the case as I love my 24’ S and would love to order another or a GTS in a few years.
