Everything You Need To Know About 2020 Porsche Models Including Prices, Specs, Reviews & Buyers Guides

Updated: December 9th, 2019

Porsche 718 / New Porsche 911 (992) / Porsche 911 (991.2) / Porsche Panamera / Porsche Macan / Porsche Cayenne / Porsche Taycan

Porsche sold a record 57,202 cars in the United States in 2018 (up from 21,320 when the Cayenne was first launched in 2003). You can thank the steady growth in the Porsche’s model range for the growth in units sold. Today Porsche has the 718 Cayman, 718 Boxster, 911 (992), 911 (991.2), Panamera, Macan and Cayenne models. We count 64 unique models in 2019 and that is still growing. There is no better time to become a Porsche owner for the first time or to add to your Porsche collection as an existing buyer. For 2019 there are several updates to the model range. The Macan has been updated (mildly) while the Cayenne launched its third generation model in 2019, a bigger upgrade cycle for sure.

Perhaps the biggest updates to the 2019 model range is the introduction of the next generation Porsche 911 (known as the Type 992). Already on sale in the U.S (4 variants so far) we expect Porsche to trickle in press releases in the coming months as the model range grows and it announces the 992 versions of the Turbo, GTS, T cars as well as the GT cars and special editions (more likely in 2020). If you are shopping for a Porsche, we hope you find our guide to the current model lineup useful. As always we aim to update this often so check back.

Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster

The legend lives on. In the new 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. For the sport of it. Exceptional sports cars that are perfect for the daily driving and spirited runs on weekends. Great balance, plenty of poke and pure driving enjoyment. What else could you want in a sports car.

2020 Porsche 718 Cayman Range

The latest addition to the 718 model range is the driver-focused Porsche 718 T models. The Cayman T has several cool dynamic options, simpler interior and unique styling touches. It is a back to basics model all about fun. Mechanically, it is based on the standard 718 (same 2 liter turbo flat-four). Speaking of the base Cayman, it is still a tasty proposition with its turbo 2.0-liter flat-four good for 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. If you want some extra poke then we recommend the 718 Cayman S with a larger turbo 2.5-liter flat-four good for 350 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque. At the top of the 718 Cayman range is the GTS model. It looks more aggressive and drives better than the T and S models and uses a tweaked version of the turbo 2.5-liter flat-four. The GTS is our pick.

2020 Porsche 718 Boxster Range

There is no doubt that the flat-four turbo engine sucks compared to the flat-six that came before it when it comes to sound and character. However, there is also no doubt in terms of pure performance that the flat-four has definitely made the Boxster a better performance car. Both models have the same single turbo 2.5-liter flat-four as their Cayman siblings. Base model is good for 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque while the S is good for 350 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque. The new Boxster T is arguably the best of the bunch in terms of basic sports car thrills but for us the extra performance in the Boxster GTS is worth the upgrade.

The New Porsche 911

2020 Porsche 911 Range

The greatness continues. After 55 years Porsche shows that the 911 can still be improved. The work in progress continues with the latest version of the 911 (known as Type 992). The models will start to hit the showroom in late 2020 with four models initially for launch that will be quickly followed in the coming 12-18 months. It looks familiar, feels familiar, sounds familiar.

Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera is an outstanding family car for the buyer who wants both luxury and performance. There is no lack of competition at this price point and yet it is Porsche that stands out. Overally, the Panamera is awesome to drive, it is relaxing and comfortable, has decent luggage space and an interior that feels luxurious and practical. The revised in 2018 Panamera body style is also a great looking car, much more stylish and modern than the frumpty original design. The only problem is that there are a bewildering number of different Panamera models currently for sale in 2020 (18 by our count). That is a lot of choices but we will try our best to summarize the options for you guys.

2020 Porsche Panamera Range

The base Panamera gets a turbo V6 with 330 hp and rear-wheel drive, while the Panamera 4 gets all-wheel drive. Moving up to the Panamera S and 4S means upgrading to a twin-turbo 2.9 liter V6 with 440-hp. Above that Porsche has the Panamera GTS range and that is when things get super fun. The GTS Panamera cars get a 4 liter twin-turbo V8 engine good for 453 hp. The Panamera range also has a number of hybrid powertrain options and shooting brake gran turismo body style. In fact it is the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid that sits on top of the Panamera performance heap with its 4 liter twin-turbocharged V8 and electric motor generating an absurd 677 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque.

Porsche Macan

With the incredibly engaging Macan, Porsche proves that a crossover can drive like a sports car. The Macan is quick, handles well and drives like a sports car (for real). Our pick is the Macan S mainly due to the performance upgrade over the base Macan and because it has the more characterful twin-turbo V6 engine (vs the turbo 4 cylinder engine).

2020 Porsche Macan Range

There are two Macan models for 2020, the base Macan and the Macan S. The base car comes with a 248 hp turbocharged four cylinder and the Macan S gets a turbocharged V6 making 348 horsepower. Every Macan is comes standard with a magnificent seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The 2020 Porsche Macan is updated for this year and features refreshed exterior styling that includes updated front and rear bumpers, new tail lamps that span the width of the liftgate, and new wheel designs. The GTS and Turbo models have yet to be revealed for 2020, but we expect Porsche will announce details pretty soon.

Porsche Cayenne

The third generation Porsche Cayenne is completely redesigned and restyled for 2019. It gets more powerful engines, the addition of a new and improved hybrid model. Overall, the Porsche Cayenne formula has stayed the same. It is a very impressive SUV with a high quality interior, lots of space, great build quality and awesome driving dynamics. The biggest news in Cayenne-land is the launch of the new Cayenne Coupe, a new model trying make the Cayenne sportier.

2019 Porsche Cayenne Model Range

From the outside it is hard to spot the styling differences between the updated Cayenne and the model before. It is longer, lower and wider than before and has fancier LEDs at the back as well as some other small tweaks you won’t notice.

Engines have been upgraded for 2019 and while they are smaller in displacement that are more powerful. You have four choices starting with a 3.0 liter turbo V6 with 335 hp, followed by a 2.9 liter twin-turbo V6 with 434 hp and a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 with 542bhp. There is also a hybrid powertrain Cayenne that gets 456 hp. All models have the smooth shifting 8-speed auto and all-wheel drive.

2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Models

Recently Porsche unveiled the 2020 Cayenne Coupe range. Porsche Turned its full-size SUV into a “coupe”, the least surprising new product announcement ever. Mechanically, the Coupe range is identical to the regular Cayenne (not a bad thing). The Coupe does get standard 20 inch wheels and PASM as standard which is nice. The base Cayenne Coupe has a turbo V6 making 335 hp and and 332 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne Coupe Turbo sits at the top of the range and gets the 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 making 541 hp and 567 lb-ft of torque.

Porsche Taycan

The Porsche Taycan is the car company’s new production electric vehicle. It is designed to put everything that people know and love from the company into a new platform of car that’s powered entirely by electricity. It’s also the car that’s set to kick off Porsche’s leap in electrification.

The 2020 model year is the first year for the car, and the Turbo and Turbo S were the first ones to break cover. Shortly after, Porsche released a slightly detuned version of the Taycan in a trim level known as the Taycan 4s. The company will likely come up with even more versions of the car as the model progresses. The Taycan line will expand and change over time.
