New Porsche Cayenne review: It could save you money!

Say hello to the new Porsche Cayenne!
Porsche’s flagship SUV has had a mid-life facelift, and Mat’s about to see just what’s changed compared to the previous edition, while also seeing if it can compete with market leaders such as the BMW X5.
When it comes to the design, it’s not overly different to the previous generation, given it’s only a mid-life facelift. Around the back, you’ll find a thinner full-length light bar, along with some updated exhaust designs. Alloy wheels now start at 20 inches instead of 19, rising up to 22 inches. But step around the front and this is where the biggest design changes can be found. There’s an all-new bonnet with creases sweeping along the front, along with an all-new bumper and grille, flanked by thinner Matrix LED headlights. All things considered, it looks pretty smart!
Step inside and the traditional Porsche quality is clear to see. There’s leather throughout the cabin (although this car does have the extended leather package added!), and everything feels well-built and sturdy. There’s a fully redesigned centre console, and thankfully Porsche has retained the physical climate control buttons. There’s a fully redesigned digital dial display, and a large infotainment screen which is pretty easy to use. This edition also comes with a third screen for the front seat passenger built into the dash!
There are a load of engine choices available. If you’re keeping it petrol-only, you can pick up the Cayenne S with either a 3-litre V6 with 353hp or a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 474hp. If you want a plug-in hybrid, two options come with the 3-litre V6 and an electric motor to deliver 470hp or 519hp. The range-topper is the Cayenne Turbo, which combined the 4-litre V8 with an electric motor to put down 739hp.
There’s only a slight issue though - it’s not cheap! The entry-level Cayenne starts at around £70,000, easily rising to over £100,000 for the range-topper with a couple of options added! So is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

[@jimmyaber5920]

On PHEV models you can operate electrically and slosh fuel and build pressure. Locked fuel door requires you push the button and the tank will vent to the bigger charcoal canister and the unlock when pressure is gone. Otherwise a risk of burping fuel and fire could result (smokers don't put out cigs and could get burned).

[@OliverFiegel]

I don't get the complaints of reviewers about non electric steering wheel or seat adjustments.. I get it from a price perspective. But not only are those usually way faster to do manually, it saves massive weight (these motors are up to several kilos) but also is another part that won't fail in case of electricity issues...

Porsche, BMW, Mercedes - Germans in general need to be stopped with this non-sense cheap crap that they keep pumping for a premium price. If I want a Vauxhall - I'll buy a Vauxhall. But if you give me Vauxhall disguised as Porsche - I will never come back to you.

[@michaeli1440]

As an owner of a Porsche Cayenne, I am no doubt bias. Having said that, I can also say how it is to live with the car. First up, nobody would buy this car based on it making sense. Nor would you buy a BMW, Mercedes or Audi etc. These are all overpriced cars for getting from A to B. However, having owned an Audi, and BMW and now a Porsche, I can say that the Porsche is simply in a different category. It is like buying a Leica camera versus a Canon or Nikon. It is about the pure quality and the 'user experience'. If these do not matter to you then I agree that the Porsche may not be for you. if you want value for money than a list of SUVs (or even more likely non SUVs) from Japan will be better options. However, it is simply a pleasure each day to just to sit in and drive a Porsche. Other cars are great too, but Porsche is special - expensive, but special all the same ..

[@reynossa3187]

Porsche: increases price by 20% with a facelift. You get a plastic dash and a manual steering wheel on a £100k car. People don’t buy it. Porsche: surprised Pikachu face. Then increase prices further to make more money with less units.

[@user-lq5yx1ke5k]

I don't know about the UK, but here the base price increase is because you a get a lot more equipment as standard for 2024, like panoramic sunroof is standard now (again here where I live, idk about the UK). Decided against it because the dealer said I was gonna wait for at least 6-12 months to get one and every single one I saw on the road was driven by a woman

[@drgvrp_dashcam]

In the U.S. all cayennes are standard with an electronic movable steering column for the steering wheel. It’s a bit weird that the EU cars make that manual

[@kizmaiaz7671]

Porsche still gets away with fleecing European customers extra. American customers indeed get an electric steering column as standard while it is not even an option in Europe. But standard equipment in the US also includes the privacy glass in the back, the lane change assist, the home link functionality, the comfort access and side airbags in the back. The base e-hybrid in the US starts at $93,350 while in Europe it starts, with less standard equipment, at over $117,000 depending on VAT. Porsche is increasingly taking its customers to the cleaners but in Europe even more so than in the US. Together with more and more cheap interior materials, an offensive options list and a presumptuous after-sales service, this has made me decide to stop being a Porsche customer after many years. You did this to yourself Porsche, not the competition...

@@kizmaiaz7671 yeah as a Porsche owner it’s sorta of embarrassing for them to slack off there standard equipment list in the EU even though they originate in Europe. Thankfully our cayenne is a U.S. model so we didn’t have to pay for those needs. What’s even more absurd is the fact the EU doesn’t even get any premium package or premium package plus. Everything is a la carte which drives the price up

This spec is so boring

BMW X6 ❤

Sorry, but that is just a hideous car.

That's not how hybrid should be used on motorway. Set the NAV and the car will smartly use the battery along your trip (no matter how long is it). That's how it works with BMW at least. And that's how you achieve very good consumption on long trips on hybrid.

22:09 Why does the car still "shift gears" in electric only mode?

A Macan looks way better.

Looks the same

how esy to take out Front headlights?

15:00 lol. In New Zealand, petrol is taxed at the pump, and diesels pay Road User Charges of $76/1000km. The government just introduced RUC's for EV and PHEV vehicles. So in NZ, the opposite is now true

[@Gooddaytosavelives412]

with VW group, Audi seems to be the best trim to get… as they are always heavily discounted / keep good value / still feel posh enough

I actually liked lime backing of e-hybrid badge

[@louisvl10]

oh yes the bmw electrically adjusting steering column is sooooo nice when doing laptop work on the go. put seat position memory number 2 with seat backed all the way and steering wheel all the way forward for max laptop comfort between appointments. kind of a bummer this Porsche doesnt have it. especially since a Cayenne is more of a daily driver kind of thing vs a 911 where a manual adjustment doesnt matter at all.
