Why The Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-Hybrid Is The Stupidest Car On Sale Today

Today courtesy of Porsche UK I have the pleasure of sampling two cars in their current lineup. I'm not in love with the 992, so I asked for a pair of Porkers which were not 911s. We begin with this, the very long named Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-Hybrid. What's it like?

This car is the definition of an oxymoron in today's automotive industry. It wants to be everything and achieves being nothing for a lot and I mean a lot of money. SUV with no ground clearance, no practicality (limited storage space and seating options). A sports car with e-hybrid and massive weight. And has all those marketing vomit-inducing cringy things. Like carbon roof + alcantara steering wheel + massive rims aka sports package on a car that is not sporty at all, touchscreens and glossy surfaces everywhere etc. Coupe SUV.... again Coupe SUV.

[@chrisbroome9937]

I could NOT disagree more. These luxury/sport SUV Crossover type vehicles are perfect...because they can do pretty much anything. Easy to get in and out of, comfortable for long distance driving, 0-60 times and even lap times that rival supercars (especially when talking about the Cayenne Turbo GT), AWD makes them good in winter, and they are able to carry 4 people, groceries, and golf clubs, while pulling a trailer. Getting ALL of that in one package is amazing. Sure, a Ferrari might be a little faster, an minivan might be able to carry more people, a diesel truck might be better at towing, and a Jeep may be better at going offroad. So sure, you can find individual vehicles that specialize in one "skill" better than these Crossovers. But if someone only wants one vehicle that can do everything damn good, this is the way to go.

Very odd fault finding, when both main criticisms are easily overcome by choosing another interior (goodness knows there are lots), and the normal Cayenne body instead of the coupe.

[@backseatcovers]

I think one good thing about SUVs is their higher boot floor - because unlike in estates and hatchbacks you don't have to bend down to put stuff like groceries in. Try that! Plus in a car such as this practicality is only secondary to looking cool, stylish, modern, "making a statement", all these things.

Anyway, good video, like

[@plektosgaming]

The big Mercedes G wagons are amazing and can actually do off-road unlike almost all "AWD" systems that have their computers panic all too often. And, there's also the issue with visibility. The Porsche/Audi/whatever turbo XXL Mk 2.0 E- whatever just looks like everything else. Nothing stands out in it, and yes, this one was even silver. If I spent that much money on a vehicle, I'd want it to stand out as, well, being a bit expensive. This honestly looks as forgettable as the SUVs Hyundai is putting out. You could put police badges on it and nobody would notice the officer right next to them bland. The Range Rover looks iconic, as does the G Wagon. And you can put a ton of stuff in them/get them muddy/still look like money when cleaned up afterwards.

[@Eksistenssi]

James, these cars are sorta tax loophole in the nordics. They have all the bang of a performance model (which gets taxed over 100% of their value in here). BUT theyre also the green jeesus with the batteries in them which grants them lower tax rate so that the hybrid which is essentially the performance model PLUS some electric boogaloo cuts up the listing price in almost half of what it would be without hybrid system. There is place for them and that is to make the average greenpeace hippie not scowl at someone driving these.

[@Bmontepeque11]

Absolutely, I have never liked Sports SUVs because I have never understood why if I wanted to have fun why I wouldn't buy you know, a Sports Car.

Dear Mr. Jay, can I highlight a case for you? During the past years when I decided to get a car often I found my self looking at med range cars for example 640i or 650i not the M6, cayenne or cayenne S, cars that is sold in big numbers not a top of the range cars that cost a house to buy, and often I find no reviews have been done to those cars by professionals, often I found an advertiser highlighting the company history then a few things about the car then here you go, this is the case with most the actual cars most people buy, may I suggest you open another channel dedicated to those kind of cars and when you do review please review the whole line, example BMW 320i, 330i and 340i, I don’t know if my suggestion will add some value or not its for you to decide, 💐

[@997turbo2]

Actually i am looking to buy the higher standard the the standard cayenne which is a cayenne S coupe with the standard manufacturer equipment 😂 that means to me I got the upgraded car 😂, and I wonder would it worthy that asking price by Porsche ? and how much satisfaction i will get from it ? I definitely cannot afford the buy the GTS neither the higher range cars those cars are exclusive and to be honest for a daily driver I don’t think they offer that much of difference to the cayenne S, so what the standard cayenne S is like to drive?

[@dct124]

I disagree, here's why. Big 2 "parking priority" and "HOV Lane access" Business owner tax deductions. Currently, US business owner's who purchase a hybrid, +6000 GVWR vehicle can not only get a 100% tax depreciation on the vehicle but a bonus as well. Now for this SUV you can only max out up to $25k but with Federal & State tax incentives you get additional deductions and if you buy it brand new you'll get 50% bonus depreciation. There's some other deduction you can take on regarding the hybrid system. So instead of paying for a brand new $85k Porsche Cayenne Hybrid they may only pay $30k-$50k depending on options. They're buying it as a performance family hauler that has dual purpose for winter performance driving and over high waters. I stay in Annapolis, MD and we have high tides all the time off the East Coast. Many owners have weekend high performance cars they put away for winter. As much as I dislike SUV's they do provide a utility that an Estate car cannot and many prefer not to purchase a truck b/c a wagon is more practical for mundane family usage around town. There's no shortage of Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Porsche SUVs around town especially considering most residents own boats, yatchs, or some sort of water craft. Something like this is easier to maneuver around town on the small side streets, parking lots, back roads and gated communities. Personally I've only required a 4x4 for one occasion which was a steep icy hill that had I not used 4L, I'd slide back down like all the other cars. With in car Navigation I've been able to reroute myself incase of road closures, high water or downed trees. But saying it's for those very few minute things I think is invalid, b/c this truck has the same capacity as a Mini, Kia Soul, or other small SUVs but sits higher and out performs most sports cars or anything on the road in bad conditions. The #1 (I'll list these 2 atop) reason I can think of is a hybrid while less practical actually has an advantage I never hear spoken online. That's "parking priority" and "HOV Lane access". You get to park upfront next to handicap spaces if they have charger's. You get priority parking in parking garages at apartments or city area's. Priority parking at parks, amusement parks, and national parks. You get a HOV lane and don't require a passenger so you save way more time in a hybrid if it's how you commute to work especially if you used it to drop off your kids at school and have to drive from Annapolis to D.C. which takes 1hr in rush hour traffic without the HOV lane. Obviously you shouldn't speed but 9 out of 10 times you can get away with pushing 80-90mph cutting your time from 60min to 25min and vice versa coming back home and having to do it again. 120min vs 50min is a big deal when you add that over 1wk, 1mo, 1yr or 10yrs, that's a lot of time better used than sitting in traffic being no use to anyone. I don't know about anyone else but 250min vs 600min in a week is massive. 28,800min being cut by more than half is huge. So my big 3 is Time, HOV access, and Priority Parking. Even parking you save time vs having to park far away they give you a spot only other hybrids or EVs can access. Imagine being an older man or woman but not quite a senior with children and a full time corporate job working on the East Coast or all 4 Season area with high population. Just think how quickly you can get to an Airport if there's an accident on the road and the HOV lane is open. Personally for me I'd not get the panaramic roof, sun roof or carbon roof and instead would option a roof rack and trailer hitch. Porsche's are known for being one of the best trailer vehicles due to it's smooth ride and handling. Add a roof rack and now you can haul ass to a airport, ski resort or summer vacation and not sit in a bunch of traffic with a 50% discount + whatever you negotiated and have Porsche reliability and performance and value (low depreciation).

[@dct124]

@@andrewfrancis3591 nah, there's many things this vehicle has going for it beyond a sedan or estate and I don't like SUVs but in the US they're hot because, of cost savings, time savings, privilege, reliability, performance, ride height and value that does actually exceed a sedan or estate by a wide margin. Now vehicle for vehicle an SUV just has ride height and towing capacity. You start adding HOV lane, parking, tax breaks, tax deductions, high safety (aside from rollovers), then it starts to make sense, when you can save some 30,000hrs of your life per year from traffic. $30,000 or more in savings. Even more saved on maintenance compared to even the Toureg, Q8 and other competetors aside from Lexus and Toyota which I personally prefer the styling and performance of the Ceyanne to a RX, GX or RAV4 🤷🏾‍♂️ once you factor in business you can get the Ceyanne for the price of a RAV4 or GX and have the same reliability.

[@MaxStraesser]

As an owner of a Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-Hybrid, I very much agree with many of the points you make. Unfortunately, like most other "practical" porsches, having the right spec really does make a difference. Without the lightweight package, for example, the car really does feel far more luxurious than in the spec you reviewed. Likewise, qualms with the boot space and rather limited electric-only range makes me think that in hindsight, after a year of living with the Cayenne, I might well have been better off with buying a BMW X5 45e and a Boxter GTS 4.0 instead of a fully-specced out Cayenne. That being said, it's a Porsche and really does feel like a proper beast, and fuel economy (when the battery is fully charged) is a decent 10L/100km on a mixed day of city and motorway driving. Oh well, I'll make a more informed decision when it's finally safe to go full (non-Tesla) EV.

Others, like myself, aren't annoyed in the slightest- we merely appreciate the irony of someone in an SUV being able to phyiscally look down on us, while we are looking down on them. This car is worse than a PPSTTSEH (Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S e-Hybrid) in every way except height - visibility is great, but height is otherwise a negative too (and the visibility wouldn't be necessary if so many people didn't buy SUVs...more irony). All that being said, I'll happily spend hours mocking someone's car, but I do agree with your last comment and I feel it's important to differentiate between mocking the car and someone who likes it. I'm hoping you buy cars for reasons other than just pissing people off though ☺

[@paulwright9656]

Well thanks for allowing me to drive whatever I want! Whichever camp you fall into, I think what you need to realise is, choose the vehicle you want and let the rest of us do the same. You don't have to understand or agree with others decisions and more importantly, you don't have to comment your opinions on them either. You're opinion on SUV's is also worse than the one of the planet savers as it isn't even your opinion it's just one you've read or heard a hundred times over and you've just jumped on the bandwagon and. At least the tree huggers can claim an actual reason for their thoughts.I Oh, and I do choose all my vehicles because I like them, but it's great that they are often able of irritating others at the same time by being unnecessary, too large, too high, too long, too poluting, too diesel or too anything else. Just an added bonus. 😉

@@paulwright9656 Well I'm glad we were able to keep this civil and not personal...oh never mind. You don't have to comment your opinions on the video, but once you have you're putting it out there for response, unless you believe in free speech...as long as you agree with it. My opinion on SUVs (which you've suggested doesn't exist) is that they're heavier and have a higher centre of gravity, which means their handling and performance is worse than a normal car with the same drivetrain - in this case the Panamera. I like driving cars, as I'm sure more viewers of this channel do. SUVs are worse for that, physics mean that's an unarguable fact. The advantage is...you get to feel like you're better than everyone else because you're higher up. 7 seaters are fair enough and sure more visilibility is good but doesn't outweight the cons, so my 1st point there is really why you're buying them. Knowing that is why, as I said, it's ironic that you're phyiscally looking down on everyone.

[@paulwright9656]

Rewind and repeat. It's proof that you don't have your own opinions as your second response is just the same line as your first, i.e nothing original, nothing new, nothing of interest. You drive what you choose and let other's do the same. Your opinion on what the rest of us choose is completely irrelevant I'm afraid, but if you insist on giving it, at least make it yours rather than what you have been told it should be by The Guardian.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@paulwright9656 I'm repeating myself since you seem incapable of reading it the first time. Now we've established you're only interested in throwing insults since you have no valid points to make on cars though, I'm simply going to block notifications from you.

[@LeytonC]

I thought the only reason for the hybrid tech on those type of cars was to reduce road tax and stop paying the congestion charge? Maybe that is not the case now. Great video! Looking forward to the other one.

[@cdnatural4316]

It's becuase he knows he can't get one and talks crap about porsche I'm just saying that I'm the biggest porsche fan period No one disses porsche.

[@SouthernLocks]

How do you review a e-hybrid and don't mention you are getting 700 horses at 43miles per gallon 😂

[@ckneasel]

This “hefty” fella simply hates Porsche... 🙄 Drive the fucking thing first before you tear it down...

[@lolakyle8]

I love that V8 growl sound!

[@nikomoin7604]

Its not only unpractical, but also ugly as hell

[@mavainfigatomareva]

The real problem that I find with cars such as this is that clearly there is a market commanding for them, which comes from a general lack of eductaion, sense of responsibility and good taste among nowadays customers.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Yup, stupid cars exist because stupid people buy them...as a Porsche owner myself I've had couple of Cayenne/Macan drivers give me a thumbs up. They get a disparaging chuckle in return (no rude gestures or anything they can see, they are being nice to me after all!).

[@andyhunt457]

That's the same question as what came first the chicken or the egg.If I recall nobody asked for SUVs it was some fool in marketing who came up with the idea...think Nissan led the charge ....damn them 😁

[@jmcarbone2754]

Without the Cayenne and Macan, I doubt there would still be a 911 or even a Porsche. Perhaps we should thank these uneducated masses.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

​@@jmcarbone2754 Porsche made an SUV to appeal to all the people buying SUVs- if those people were buying saloons or hatchbacks instead then it seems certain Porsche would have made one of those. It's fair not to blame the manufacturer for making a product people want, it's the consumers who don't need to buy unnecessarily large and inefficient vehicles.

[@austinedwards1918]

A porsche cayenne is a Porsche not an Audi or a range rover. Design has to be respective to the model. It cannot be other than what it is. It's all to do with the design.

[@sanglee5100]

Porsche Crossovers 🤮🤮🤮🤮 #PuristElitist lol

[@4pevans]

Thank you James... I must say that my lawn mower has a better sounding exhaust though

[@AdamRandomCollections]

I find it extremely hypocritical to call this car ‘stupid’ in a world where the bentayga, the cullinan, the urus, the Dbx, the x6M , the G63AMG and the SVR get good praises!!! I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion after all. Personally, I don’t look at this car as a “4x4” i look at it as a proper supercar that happens to have 5 seats and a large boot. So, What’s not to like!

[@beachboy0505]

This is a good car review. Very critical and objective. This is the problem for VAG, how can they make the 'product differentiation' ?

[@eggbirdtherooster]

Maybe.. but 1000 times more tasteful than a bloody X6!

[@brogenville]

Why would you compare it to a Q7? It’s anolagous to a Q8. Anyway, I agree. What pointless boat of a thing.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420]

Sounds like the exhaust manifold is cracked.

[@JacobYarr]

It might have some problems, but it bloody sounds great!

[@MW-gi1tr]

Would much rather have a Maserati Levante Trofeo

[@tuomasholo]

EU emission rules necessitated Porsche to lower emissions. It’s a clever way of meeting draconian rules

[@kenzohkw]

Can you also tell Porsche to adjust the headlights on their SUVs properly so that don't blind all of us that don't want to drive a high rise 2.3ton pothole creator pls.

[@yungfly321]

just get a honda pilot bro if you dont like fancy things.

[@mattevans4377]

What can this do better, than a Panemera estate? I really can't think of anything.....

[@john2357]

You sit higher up, which the market seems to be crazy about at the moment, but other than that I agree. Except that the Panamera is quite a bit pricier

[@mattevans4377]

@@john2357 good taste has no price ;)

[@KLUTCHdot58]

Must play this again through decent speakers. On my laptop it sounds like my mother in law's VW fox when the exhaust fell off.

[@alexairconditioning1581]

SUVs are big ugly and stupid. Facts P.s God does that Taycan Turbo look amazing

No. Just your opinion, nothing else

[@5alm0n]

Do porches put an option to buy a trailer to make up for the boot space ?

[@gexpe2003]

I hate this car so much I would buy a base no extras non hybrid new one if I could afford it (normal body not coupe).

[@TDS981]

I had a cayenne S the other week and was amazed at how well it handled, enjoyed the 2.9v6 too. But it was only after I'd finished filming that it dawned on me that the mpg was unacceptable for the type of car. The diesel engines before were more suitable for carting the family, bikes and the kitchen sink around.

[@john2357]

I strongly disagree with your point about the boot: The Cayenne coupe boot is a generous 600 litres - this is only 50 litres less than the X5 and 90 litres less than the regular GLE... quite a modest disadvantage for a much sleeker looking car! The only reason why the Cayenne coupe boot seems smaller is that the regular Cayenne and its mechanical twin the Q7 have gigantic boots of 750 litres which are by far the largest in class. So put differently, yes the Cayenne coupe is substantially less practical than the regular Cayenne, but not much less practical than key competitors (that are much clumsier looking)

[@ericspeakstruth6308]

This guy is a hater on Porsche. This vehicle is amazing. I spend very little in fuel and it is very responsive. Interior is beyond comfortable. Handles brilliantly.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Did you think I said the vehicle was not amazing? Pretty sure I said it drove great
