Porsche Cayenne review – an excellent SUV, but not a stirring driving experience
The third-generation Porsche Cayenne has the goods as an SUV, but talent is not spread evenly across the range

It was the car that flipped out enthusiast types when it first appeared in 2004, but some three generations later there’s little that feels controversial about the Porsche Cayenne. It has come to define a whole class of luxury SUV, and in doing so has expanded into a variety of different variants, and a second Coupe bodystyle.

The current Cayenne hasn’t fundamentally changed in terms of size or focus, but has rather been through a process of consistent refinement which has resulted in a package many rival brands across the sports and luxury spectrum have attempted to imitate.

In keeping with Porsche’s reputation of engineering excellence, the Cayenne is powered by a combination of dedicated petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrains (diesel was ditched at the beginning of the current model’s market introduction), and spreads across a range of price points and specifications. Topping the range is the Turbo GT, a recent addition to the range that's received some serious upgrades to both chassis and powertrain.

Of course, the Cayenne’s real USP in its crowded segment was its driving capability, the car easily besting all key rivals since that original was launched over 15 years ago. The question is, does the latest Porsche Cayenne still have a lead on the competition?

Porsche Cayenne: in detail

Engine, gearbox and technical highlights: Porsche’s engine range includes impressive V6 or V8 turbocharged petrol engines with and without plug-in hybrid modules
Performance and 0-60 time: Impressive across the board, but plug-in performance feels dented despite impressive on-paper times
Ride and handling: The Cayenne’s driving demeanor varies quite substantially. GTS and Turbo models drive well, but hybrids feel cumbersome
MPG and running costs: The removal of diesel engines does yield issues for everyday running costs, unless you go for the base e-hybrid and have a plug-point to tap into
Interior and tech: Superbly built on the same ergonomic foundations as other Porsches. Materials, build quality and tech are all top-notch
Design: Now one of the more attractive luxury SUVs, it belies its size with clever detailing and a subtlety missing in rivals

Prices, specs and rivals
Gone are the days when models like the Porsche Cayenne were split between two, maybe three variants. Like much of Porsche’s modern model range, diversification in powertrain options make for a wide spread of variability in the current Cayenne range. Basic Cayenne models start at a tad over £63,000, and are powered by a turbocharged 3-litre V6 petrol engine. For around a £10,000 premium you can get the plug-in hybrid version which pairs the same engine with an electric motor and 13kWh battery pack.

The Cayenne S uses the more serious 2.9-litre engine as found in the Panamera and various Audi Sport models, losing around 100cc, but gaining a turbocharger for its V6. At just over £77,000 it’s the most expensive six-cylinder variant available, after which the GTS introduces a twin-turbo V8 to the package at just over £90,000. From here there are two Turbo variants available, with the standard 542bhp Turbo costing from just over £112,000 and the plug-in hybrid 671bhp Turbo S e-hybrid at just over £134,000, over double the price of the basic Cayenne. The Coupe variants cost between £4500 and £2500 more than the equivalent standard model. At the very top of the range is the GT Turbo, a couple-only model that's been designed to wrestle back the 'best handling SUV' gong from rivals like the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. At £150,500, it's also the most expensive despite having less power than the e-hybrid, but comes with plenty of chassis tweaks to compensate.
