The Porsche Cayenne Exudes Class and Elegance


The Porsche Cayenne is considered by many to be one of Porsche's most brilliant creations. Just one look at this mid-size SUV will tell you that it is genuine Porsche pedigree. From the 911-esque headlights to the standard Porsche dual exhausts, it exudes class, elegance, and to the trained eye, just a hint of aggression. This SUV hauls quite the load as far as people and equipment are concerned, but also has straight-line and cornering performance that rivals that of sports cars. It is, quite frankly, one of the best all-around vehicles in the world.

The 4.8 liter V8 that comes in the Porsche Cayenne S is a 385 horsepower powerhouse that will launch this three and a half ton SUV from 0-60 in roughly 6.5 seconds. For those keeping score, that's fast enough to keep up with the all-new VW GTI, a 3000 pound hatchback. This normally-aspirated V8 is more than capable for towing as well; with 369 foot-pounds of torque, the Cayenne S will tow more than its own weight (maximum towing capacity: 7716 pounds). With sure-footed all wheel drive and flat torque curve, towing up even the steepest hills is a snap.

Some Porsche drivers want more, and more they'll get. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, powered by a 550 horsepower monster of a turbocharged 4.8 liter V8, will rocket the driver and his 6800 pound machine to 60 miles per hour in about four and a half seconds. 553 foot-pounds of torque comes standard, making even the heaviest towing job a breeze. Gas mileage isn't exactly the Cayenne's strong suit, but those wanting to save a bit of money can opt for the base Cayenne model. This comes with a 3.2 liter V6, and boasts 14 mpg in the city, and 20 mpg on the highway.

Driving the Used Porsche Cayenne


I've driven a used Porsche Cayenne S for a few years, during which I've enjoyed trouble-free, exciting motoring. My motivation for buying the Cayenne was a growing family and also my job, which takes me around the countryside doling out agricultural advice. I owned a Porsche Boxster for a while so I knew I'd be happy and in familiar hands with the Cayenne. I'll admit I wasn't entirely convinced by the off-road claims but that's the great benefit of buying used - you gain from the experiences of others. Though some die-hard Porsche lovers have spurned the Cayenne, I'm totally on side. This is a triumph for Porsche in every way.

I'm happy to say the Cayenne is more than capable of dealing with challenging terrain. It's certainly not sluggish either, delivering a 0-62mph speed of 6.7 seconds. There's no compromise on that famous Porsche driving experience at all, for it's every bit as impressive and great fun to drive on any surface.

Interior space is generous and the kids have all the room they need in the back of the Cayenne. It's a pretty big car, over seven feet wide, so there's no feeling of confinement in back or front. The split seats are a great bonus for me day to day, allowing me to stow equipment efficiently and easily. The boot can capacity is a massive 540 litres, so unsurprisingly I've yet to find myself struggling for space, and that's even with all the kids' football and cricket kit, too.

The Used Porsche Cayenne's comfort factor is really good, with leather upholstery throughout. The driving position is excellent, too, offering a very good view of the road ahead. I can be driving for most of the day sometimes, so the supportive seats are much needed.

Porsche's Cayenne has taken the off-road market by storm since its launch, and it's good to know I'm not alone in thinking this is a superb addition to the Porsche range, diversion from character though it may be.
