Design & Presence

The Cayenne still wears Porsche's familiar silhouette — wide hips, a long bonnet and a coupe-like roof on the Coupé — which gives it a genuine road presence rather than generic SUV anonymity. At roughly 4,930 mm long and close to 1,989 mm wide depending on spec, it looks purposeful and balances elegance with muscle. Minor details like the slatted rear light bar and available sport exhausts give immediate visual cues about the model beneath the badge.

Interior & Usability

Cabin materials are up to Porsche standards: tight panel gaps, soft leathers and supportive seats make it a comfortable place to spend time on long drives. The driver-oriented layout puts a clear display and tactile steering wheel controls up front, while the centre touchscreen runs Porsche's latest software with crisp graphics. Some functions move behind touch panels which can require more attention than traditional buttons, but overall build quality and ergonomics remain premium.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practicality is strong for its class: boot volume starts around 772 litres and expands to as much as 1,708 litres with the rear seats folded, making the Cayenne handy for family luggage or weekend gear. Five-seat layouts are standard, while Coupé versions sometimes ship with a four-seat setup for a sportier feel, slightly compromising rear headroom. Curb weights vary from about 2,130 to over 2,650 kg depending on engine and options, so expect heavy curb weight to influence fuel use and towing feel.

Driving & Handling

This is where the Cayenne earns its badge: chassis tuning, precise steering and available active roll control deliver handling closer to a sports car than a traditional tall SUV. Powertrains span from a torquey V6 producing about 353 hp up to high-performance hybrids topping out at roughly 739 hp, with 0–100 km/h times from roughly 6 seconds down to the mid 3s on the fastest versions. That means everyday overtakes on the motorway feel effortless and even heavy loads don't rob the car of composure, though the ride can be firm on larger wheels or sport suspension.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Efficiency varies wildly across the range: plug‑in hybrids can show combined consumption figures around 4.0 L/100 km with electric ranges reported up to about 83 km and a battery capacity near 21.8 kWh, which makes electric-only commutes realistic for many users. Pure petrol models are thirstier, typically in the vicinity of 10–12 L/100 km on the official figures, and real-world consumption will be higher in urban driving or under enthusiastic throttle. Choosing a PHEV is most sensible for those who can charge regularly; otherwise the petrol V6 and V8 deliver strong performance at the cost of higher running costs.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Cayenne's driver assistance suite includes adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aids, matrix LED lighting and sophisticated parking systems that make routine driving less tiring and safer on longer trips. Porsche's Communication Management touchscreen is sharp and responsive with voice recognition and smartphone mirroring, while optional upgrades add premium audio and extended connectivity. Some functions require menu diving or touch interaction, so those who prefer hard switches may find the interface less intuitive while still undeniably modern and well integrated.

Who is it for?

This car suits buyers who want genuine sports-car dynamics wrapped in an everyday-capable SUV: families who value performance, business owners wanting presence, or enthusiasts who need usable space without sacrificing driving excitement. The current line-up covers conventional petrols and several plug‑in hybrids with outputs ranging roughly from 353–739 hp and official consumptions from about 4.0 L/100 km on PHEVs to around 12 L/100 km for the thirstier petrols, so choice depends on priorities for economy versus outright pace. For those seeking a softer, more economical daily driver the Cayenne PHEV is an attractive compromise, while the petrol and Turbo hybrids remain the pick for buyers prioritising outright performance and usable speed.
