Porsche Cayenne Summary

Exterior 

The new gen Cayenne seems to have adopted the design language set down by its younger sibling, the Macan. The headlamps are new and get Porsche’s new four-point LED signature. The front bumper consists of horizontal slats with bigger air-intake vents. The silhouette is noticeably sharper with a raked D-pillar to lend the SUV a sportier stance. The length measures at 4,918 mm which is 63 mm longer than the outgoing model. At the rear, the bulbous tail lights are replaced by a new sleek LED taillight design which runs across the rear.

Interior 

On the inside, the cabin is fresh with a lot of influence from the Panamera. The offroader also gets the new Porsche Advanced Cockpit integrated with the revised dashboard. The centre console is dominated by a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen borrowed from the Panamera as well. The instrument cluster is an analogue tachometer flanked by a seven-inch digital screen on either side. The cabin comes loaded with all the connected features Porsche has on offer. There is a plethora of driving aids as well while the boot space has increased to 770 litres.

Engine and transmission

Under the hood, there are two turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engines on offer at the moment. The standard Cayenne is powered by the 340bhp/450Nm variant. Meanwhile, the Cayenne S has a 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 under the hood. It generates 440bhp and 550Nm which is 20bhp more than its predecessor. Transmission is an eight-speed Tiptronic S with shorter response times and sportier ratios in the lower gears. The hybrid versions also get a 134bhp/400Nm electric motor.

Seating capacity

The Cayenne can seat five persons.

Porsche Cayenne Verdict

Perhaps the most sportiest full-size SUV one can buy today, the Cayenne is Porsche the most popular model, and for good reasons. It’s got loads of ground clearance, a spacious cabin and plenty of features. The only downsides come in the form of pricy optional extras and a thirsty petrol line-up.
