Diesel Power Unleashed: Porsche Cayenne 3.0 ! Car Review !Unmatched Performance and Opulent Luxury
Test drive and review of the Cayenne Mk2 !Few cars can deliver the range of talents that the Porsche Cayenne offers. While Porsche purists sneer at the firm's SUVs, if it wasn't for the rampant success of the Cayenne, as well as the later Macan, then Porsche wouldn't have been able to develop its sports cars to the extent it has. And to dismiss the Cayenne as 'another SUV' is a disservice to the breadth of its abilities, which include the kind of handling that Porsche is famous for.
The first Cayenne arrived in 2002, while the current Mk2 model arrived in 2011. This version features a platform that's shared with the Volkswagen Touareg and first Audi Q7. The Cayenne is assembled in the same VW Group plant as those two in Bratislava, Slovakia, before being shipped to Porsche's factory in Leipzig, Germany, for the fitting of the interior.
While the basic platform is shared with other VW Group models, the Cayenne has its own bespoke settings to deliver a more entertaining drie, while the fitting of the interior by Porsche means it shares more with the Panamera and 911 from behind the wheel than it does the Touareg and Q7.
And it behaves more like a sports car than an SUV, too. All models are sharp to drive, with positive steering and decent power, but the faster GTS and Turbo models really are like oversized rally cars in the way they drive, with searing acceleration and huge amounts of four-wheel drive grip that means they handle like cars half their size.
Each Cayenne model has its own engine, so the seven-model line-up has seven engines. The Cayenne Diesel kicks off the range with a 262bhp 3.0-litre V6, and has a price tag of just over £53,000. Next up is the Cayenne S, which is the first petrol model in the range. Up until 2014, this had a 395bhp 4.8-litre V8, but this was replaced by a more powerful yet efficient 420bhp twin-turbo 3.6-litre V6.
Next up is the plug-in Cayenne S E-Hybrid, which uses a 3.0-litre petrol V6 and electric motor to produce 416bhp, but emissions are 75g/km, making it an attractive choice for company car drivers. This model, as well as the entry level diesel, is also offered in limited Platinum Edition spec, a special model designed to shift more cars as the Mk2 is nearing the end of its production run.
The Cayenne S Diesel has a 385bhp 4.2-litre V8 and claimed economy of 35.3mpg, while the GTS has a 440bhp 3.6-litre twin-turbo V6, sharper handling and a look inspired by the Turbo model.
The top-spec Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S use the same 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8, with either 520bhp or 570bhp. Until the Bentley Bentayga arrived, the Turbo S was the fastest SUV in the world, with a top speed of 176mph and a 0-62mph time of 4.1 seconds. All models get permanent four-wheel drive and an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox.
Rivals for the Cayenne are varied, because there is a wide range of versions available. The basic models rival SUVs such as the BMW X5, Range Rover Sport, Mercedes GLE-Class, Maserati Levante and Volkswagen Touareg, while the plug-in E-Hybrid has rivals in the shape of the Volvo XC90 T8 and Audi Q7 e-tron.
The Cayenne Mk2 is based on the current Volkswagen Touareg, and like the smaller Macan - which also shares its platform with other models from within the VW Group - Porsche has thoroughly reworked the chassis. It’s focused its attention on the steering and suspension so the Cayenne lives up to the brand’s dynamics. This means it’s one of the sportier SUVs to drive on the market, while its replacement - which we’ll see for the first time in 2017 - will use the same chassis as the new Audi Q7 and Bentley Bentayga, so it should be even sharper.
I have here a 3.0TDI Cayenne which i been driving for a while and i was so impressed by this car and i wanted to make a review for it!
Normally i do drive different cars but this one stuck to me for a period of time and i did really enjoy it , because its a very sporty SUV.. even i did not believed that, but actually this car surprised me a lot with the styling and the comfort that it has! The maintenance for it is ok-is .. keep in mind that is not a cheap SUV.. so the maintenance its not cheap.. but its not that expensive.

This video is helping me make a decision to buy one, also recognise you’re driving the Porsche around my home town. Thanks for sharing

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

It is a brilliant car. One mention is that if you get it with air suspension you will have something to worry about. Read on a lot of forums that they keep failing.. the 3.0 diesel is very reliable but make sure it has no leaks especially oil leaks. If you get it with a sunroof make sure it opens :))) need any more info feel free to ask . 🙂

[@mihaidumitrascu1782]

Let me be the first to congratulate you on starting this channel. I am sure you will have many interesting surprises lined up for us. I will keep a close eye on your channel as I found your review very informative and your personality great. Good job and keep it up.

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

Thank you very much bro !!! All the love !!!

[@damirzanne]

Eastern Europeans and Diesels, the love story lol … I just got one 2016 , white with 77K miles … looks and runs like new … fantastic cars … and yes , I’m Eastern European as well lol ….

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

We do have a love story with the diesel engine :))))

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

What specs do you have on yours!? And how much did it cost ?

[@haakn]

Great video, really underrated! Thanks for the help, trying to decide between a Cayenne and a Panamera of this generation.

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

Thank you my friend 🙂.. now I like how the Panamera looks.. keep in mind that you loose 1 seat and some cargo space.. but other then that.. they are pretty much alike! What kind of engine you have in mind ?!

[@haakn]

@@CarswithAlbertAlex would like the V6 for either of them, the V8s take too much fuel and I don't need that much power for a daily car

[@lamilumag]

Had the Panamera and let me tell you - it is very ungracious to climb in and out of that thing on a daily basis 😂 but it was a great car. Got the Cayenne now and it is more practical.

[@shhs6127]

​@@CarswithAlbertAlex Panamera is not SUV.. . 😂

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

@shhs6127 I know.. I was saying that on the inside they lookalike.. and even on the outside there are big similarities.. I was just saying that is a matter of taste if you have to choose between them :))))

[@tango22ah]

Sooo torn between diesel Panamera and the Cayenne

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

Hello my friend , the Panamera feels a lot more sportier than the Cayenne , but the Cayenne has more room than the Panamera, so at the end of the day you should buy the one that feels more close to your heart . Do not overthink it ! Thanks for watching my videos! Peace and blessings to you!🙏🏼🤗

[@Mark19888]

This model 3.0 Diesel with full depot diesel , Could anyone tell me ,How much miles or km can do ,approximately ?

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

My friend I can not tell you exactly that but what can honestly tell you is that I've managed to get a 6.5 l/100 km doing 110km/h which is quite impressive

[@beardeduke0303]

i get an average of 28 miles per gallon

[@gerryr1893]

It’s a Touareg

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

Yes and No my friend. The engine even though its the same 3.0 diesel its tuned different. It has more hp and the sound of the engine is different aswell. The quality of the materials is a big difference.. Porsche uses better materials as they should coz the price is way higher than the Touareg. But I can honestly tell you that both are great cars ! Thanks for watching my videos! Peace and blessings to you!🙏🏼🤗
