15.8 -> An SUV is a purely practical car right?
And it prioritises space and comfort
22.32 -> over white-knuckle driving thrills?
25.36 -> Wrong, says Porsche, because it's Cayenne can do both.
29.16 -> The first two generations were really
successful, the first one was launched
33.48 -> in 2002. Since then, everyone from Jaguar
to Lamborghini has launched an SUV!
40.079 -> So, this third generation faces some stiff
competition, and has the hardest job it's
45.12 -> had to date. In this video review, we’ll
tell you what it's like to drive, how
50.07 -> easy it is to live with, and which
version you should buy, and remember we
54.39 -> can help save you money on your next new
car. Just visit our New Car Buying
58.08 -> section on whatcar.com. First of all
though, let's take it for a drive!
62.62 -> [Music]
67.7 -> There's no slow version of the Cayenne.
Kicking off the range is a three-litre
72.429 -> V6 turbocharged petrol which has 335
brake horsepower. It’s plenty quick,
78.789 -> but it does feel slightly strained when
you get to the end of its rev range.
82.569 -> Then, there's the plug-in ‘E-Hybrid’ which
does 27 miles on electric power alone.
87.28 -> It's perfect if you're driving around
town, but don't expect the same fuel
92.02 -> economy as a Toyota Prius!
94.2 -> Then, there's the ’S’, which we're driving
96.1 -> today, which also has a V6 petrol engine
but is twin-turbocharged, and you can
101.56 -> definitely feel the difference lower
down the rev range. It is much
105.189 -> quicker. After that, is the frankly
bonkers ‘Cayenne Turbo’, which has a V8 under
110.979 -> the bonnet, and impressive performance - as
much as you would expect from a modern
116.14 -> supercar! It also has running costs to
match.
120.12 -> You'll notice that there aren't any
121.599 -> diesels on that list, and there won't be
for a long time, so if it's a long distance
125.679 -> cruiser that you're looking for, you may
wish to look elsewhere.
130.08 -> As standard the
130.989 -> Cayenne, E-Hybrid, and S models, come on steel
springs. But air suspension is available
135.67 -> as an option, and it comes as standard on
the Turbo. You can set the air suspension
139.66 -> to three levels of stiffness, but even in
comfort mode the ride has a firm edge
143.859 -> without being harsh. In fact, we'd
recommend opting for the air suspension
147.76 -> if you can, because steel springs can be
too firm for some.
151.5 -> The Cayenne is big and
153.04 -> bulky, but it hides its size well through
the corners. It has plenty of grip and
157.69 -> there's plenty of feedback through the
steering wheel, so keen drivers will not
161.769 -> be disappointed.
Although most owners won't venture
165.12 -> off-road, it's good to know that the odd
muddy track or field will not present
169.14 -> itself to be a problem.
173.92 -> No matter your size or shape, you should
176.85 -> find a comfortable driving position.
Posher versions get a plethora of
180.51 -> adjustment in the steering wheel and
also in the seat. Be warned, the standard
184.74 -> seats don't come with lumbar support, so
it is worth specifying those more expensive
188.64 -> seats. Forward visibility, and visibility
out of the back, is excellent, thanks to a
194.37 -> high seating position. If you do need
extra help for parking though, you can
198.39 -> spec a reversing camera. In terms of
material quality, it’s excellent, and there
203.25 -> isn't any hard scratchy plastic in sight,
which is fantastic. All the major
207.959 -> controls are easy to get to, some of the
minor controls, however, are hidden in
212.22 -> this touch menu - which is a little slow
to respond. What is quick to respond
216.57 -> however, is this 12.3-inch
touchscreen, which comes with many
220.98 -> different functions, some of the smaller
icons are quite hard to hit whilst
224.34 -> you're driving along. There’s smartphone
mirroring for Apple CarPlay, but I'm
228.299 -> afraid Android users there is no Android
Auto. What you can do however is download
233.67 -> the Porsche app, find a destination, and
you can send that to the car. If that's a
237.9 -> compromise enough for you.
241 -> The Cayenne is a
large luxury SUV, so it's no surprise
244.08 -> that it's spacious,
even if you're really tall and you spec
248.37 -> the panoramic sunroof. You will still
find that there's plenty of headroom.
252.38 -> Also, being a wide car, it means you're
not rubbing elbows with the person next
256.59 -> to you. There's also plenty of storage
spaces, so there's two cupholders here,
261.81 -> there's large door bins, and more storage
underneath the armrest,
267.96 -> and a decent sized glovebox, no banana
272.37 -> this time though!
276.2 -> Move into these rear seats and you'll
find that there's plenty of head and
280.26 -> legroom, especially if you're only five
foot four and a half, like me. All jokes
284.28 -> aside, six-footers will also be fine,
although you do get more room in an Audi
289.08 -> Q7. However, you can sit three people
side-by-side – although the person sitting
294.69 -> in the middle seat does sit a little
taller than the two either side – and if
298.89 -> you're not using the middle seat, you've
got two cupholders here, and again you've
304.92 -> got some decent sized door bins!
310.48 -> As for boot size, well that is a match for
312.78 -> Audi Q7, and if you fold down the rear
seats it creates even more space.
317.94 -> There is a small load lip, however, it's a really
wide opening and a very usable space.
323.28 -> A word of warning though, if you go for the
‘E-Hybrid’ you do lose a hundred litres of
327.51 -> boot space.
330.64 -> The cleanest version of the
Cayenne, is the ‘E-Hybrid' but don't expect to
335.01 -> see any better than 35 miles per gallon
in real-world conditions. You will
339.78 -> however, pay less company car tax, thanks
to the lower CO2 emissions. Thankfully
344.669 -> the Cayenne is predicted to hold onto its
value well, which is great news if you're
348.39 -> thinking about buying with cash, or on a
PCP deal. Even the standard Cayenne gets a
353.73 -> decent haul of kit, sat-nav, Apple CarPlay,
LED headlights, dual zone climate control,
359.28 -> an electric tailgate, all come as standard.
You'll probably want to add a few
363.84 -> options so we'd recommend full leather
seats, and air suspension too.
368.13 -> Our recommended ’S’ models get a bit more kit,
as well as large alloy wheels, and a
372.36 -> meatier exhaust. Every Cayenne comes with
automatic emergency braking - with
376.95 -> pedestrian detection - as standard.
If you'd like to spec it up further with
380.85 -> safety equipment, you can pick technology
such as Lane Keeping Assistance, and
384.9 -> nighttime vision camera. The Cayenne is a big
SUV that's both rapid and luxurious. Sure
391.83 -> some of its rivals are more comfortable,
however, its powerful engines and sharp
396.26 -> handling give plenty for keen drivers to
love about Porsche’s flagship SUV.
402.1 -> For plenty more on the Cayenne, including our
full online review, head to whatcar.com,
407.099 -> remember we can help save you some money,
just go to our New Car Buying section if
411.61 -> you're thinking about buying one, and
