Off topic question. How have you guys not done a Veloster N review yet? They gave you a like 1 of 5 prototype to drive to an auto show but you haven't gotten a production model yet?

[@samuelkhodadad6699]

I work at a Porsche dealership in the US and while I think the exterior is more clean, I feel it’s lazy how Porsche just ripped out the Panamara center dash and infotainment and called it completely new just by plopping it in the new cayenne, also more of a Macan guy myself great video though!

[@singhturbo]

Great review. Isn’t this a new model instead of a “refresh?”

Yuri, your cayenne spec looks so good

I liked your video on the 2019 base Cayenne. I have recently ordered my 5th Cayenne Turbo or Turbo S. This one optioned out at $162K USD. I promise you that it will be worth every penny & more. All things considered, the Turbo or Turbo S is like having three different cars in one. The best sedan, the best sports care, and the best SUV depending how you feel at the moment. Also in my garage at the same time will be a Bentley Flying Spur and a Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. If I was forced to keep only one car - it would be the Cayenne Turbo (V8) !

@@gockelxxxxxl9584 Lol.. I traded my 2008 Touareg in for 2018 Cayenne last year.. And it is a different car in feel and interior (far superior).. So it's no more a Touareg than a 911 is a beetle.. And by the way, it's really up to Porsche to say what is or is not a Porsche?

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

Gockel XXXXXL Would you rather have this so the 911 is still around or have no Porsche at all? Go study some basic business strategies. You sound like a 7 year old. “Real feeling” sounds like you’ve never driven any Porsche. The Cayenne and Macan might not be as good as the 911 but they drive better than your cheap Honda Civic for sure.

[@glider1232]

@@gockelxxxxxl9584 By the way, I also own a 2016 Boxster S.. Cayenne is the best handling (feeling) SUV I've ever driven, and has the Porsche quality to go with it. I tow with it, move people around with it, use it for work, etc. Not sure what you are so afraid of, but whatever.

[@CyberDocUSA]

Super Slinky, smooth intro! Not much of a Cayenne person, unless it's pepper, though this one looks good from any angle. I'd like to try the "cohesiveness" (to use Jakob's word) of the AWD in snow with the appropriate tires. The cameras moving with the steering wheel is a nice touch, too. At that sticker price I'd never have it off road, that's for sure. Great video, guys.

[@JakeRogue]

Jakub you visionary. Your insight on buttons and gloss black are why I watch these videos.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Team Jakub

[@mgrmln]

We just took delivery of ours and love it. Carrara white Cayenne. Optioned our with surround camera, automatic cruise, etc. and as you mentioned, the base model is more than fast enough for a family truckster. One option we wish we had ticked is soft close doors. This car has heavy doors that my kids find difficult to slam hard enough to close! Sometimes they have to try 3-4 times to actually close them correctly. The auto cruise is one of the best examples I’ve ever tried. It’s always calm, smooth and paces traffic beautifully. Makes long distance driving so much less stressful. But easily the best feature of this vehicle is its steering and suspension. We specified PASM and even in comfort mode, there is no lean or head toss at all. The damping is all modes is sublime. Love this truck!

[@hashp]

Did you get the standard Adapative Cruise or the InnoDrive version? There's quite the difference in cost. We are just in the process of specing out a S model. If we were still in Germany it would definitely be the Turbo, dearly miss the Autobahn!

I bought a Macan Turbo for myself 3 months ago and absolutely love it! Now I’m looking to upgrade my wife from a ‘17 Jeep Wrangler to a (probably base) Cayenne.

[@cocoyc495]

I like the rim design of this. Nice, clean and simple.

[@ihl2003]

We have a 2013 Cayenne TDI now and love it. They're comfortable, good looking and the looks actually age well since Porsche doesn't do drastic design changes. We're at 100k miles now and would like to upgrade soon but really like the low end torque in the TDI as well as the gas mileage and range. We weren't a huge fan of the naturally aspirated Base and S models and anything above that is out of the price range. We looked a the X5, ML, and Q7 but all were deemed too ugly so we kept the search on and found that Cayennes depreciate quickly so lightly used ones are near the same price as other manufacturers. Excited to see the base get a turbo, solving our low end toque wishes while keeping mileage/range reasonably high. Now to wait 2 years for lease return CPOs! As always, great content, guys.

[@randahlbeach]

Hey boyz!! Great video guys:-) For a base model it really does pack a huge amount of sportiness that many other base model SUV's in this price point don't. I prefer the higher end SUV's with the larger Torque & HP #'s (500HP+) but for someone who doesn't care or doesn't have the budget for those high end performance SUV's this base Porsche is a top contender. Great towing capacity and the tech is one of the best in the industry. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!!

~3:45 the direction of the auto shift lever already changed with the 991.2 911 (from the 991.1, back to how it was with 997 and prior) from push to upshift to pull to upshift, which is the "correct" way to do it (like a sequential lever-actuated racing transmission).

Honestly so impressed with the base model. Base model Porsche’s always used to remind you that you were too poor to get the loaded versions. It also let everyone else know with crappy performance (VR6 Cayennes from back in the day) and ugly wheels. This is such a huge step up with good performance and nice looking exterior / interior. The read end looks 100x better than the preview gen. Those new taillights are downright gorgeous.

[@neillee4406]

I have a 2016 Cayenne S E-Hybrid. So it is the facelift/refresh of the 958 generation. Kinda an unexpected purchase for me, as I was looking at a 14 E63S Wagon and Durango SRT. (I, too, love the V8s) . But a CPO example was sitting on the lot during a service appt at my Porsche dealer and I gave it a whirl. I was kinda blown away at the power, handling, and the seamless efficiency of the Hybrid. While lacking the noise, and lags behind the E63S and SRT in terms of performance times, it's still a very strong package that hauls my kids and my mountain bike/snowboard without difficulty; AND, gets 50-60 mpg to boot. It is my DD and utility go-to. For all other times, my 991.1 GT3 gets the job done. I'm very pleased with wide range of use and enjoyment that the cayenne/GT3 combo allows.

[@MrDoctorm3]

yuri's porsche with jacob's wheels or rims whatever you like

[@timm2653]

I drive a 2014 Diesel, the best car I ever drove yet. Handling, power, and torque is above and beyond after chip tunning. I average 27 mpg of mixed driving with 32mpg on road trips and get 700 miles on one tank. The price was good too, comparable with Lexus/ Toyota but a different league in almost everything. It's a bit heavy for the city, this car thrives on the high-speed environment (highway of the offroad rally). It is basically a truck that can tow a big boat but handles like a car. Also, you get the best 4wd system on the market (mechanical Toursen = Quattro). Get good tires and convert to a luxury SportTank Cruiser! Amazing!

I like the fact that this review is the base model of a car. Realistically most people would buy the Cayenne or the Cayenne S. Similarly for other cars like the Stelvio or F Pace etc. Its great to see the Stelvio Quadrifoglio or F Pace S but it would also be great to see base and mid level reviews since this matters more in my opinion.

Very complete review - facts, banter, great visuals of the car and the details. I cant believe this is the base model, it is so loaded?! Sad part is, this is so far out of my budget. Here in Germany the bare base is already 113000 CAD but it has a 8 speed PDK. Sucks that it only comes in white and other colors cost 1500 CAD upwards. Anyway given the choice I would pick Yuris model, cause the roof rack is a no go.

[@GooseVan]

I've got it for one and half month, absolutely love it. The surround camera is not as good as BMW's, but handling is fantastic. BMW handles as well but not as comfortable and steering on cayenne feels so much better than BMW. You missed another unreal feature, in seat heating/ventilation, you can adjust where gets more heat/cooling. I just got interio protection films for the screens and piano black trim pieces, hopefully it will remove the fingerprints.

[@EricMatthewWeiss]

Some advice from my time as a Audi/Porsche/VW test driver: pay attention to the tire sizes that go with each wheel option. The first gen Cayenne and Audi Q7 test cars had extremely wide tires. So wide that only one manufacturer made snow tires in that size, and they were crazy expensive. And they wore down incredibly quickly. In my opinion, the wide tires were also terrible in the snow -- tending to float on top of the snow/ice instead of digging in. Something to think about when choosing wheels for your new Porsche (or Audi Q7/Q8).
