You two are near the top of my list when it comes to auto reviews. It speaks volumes about the quality of the Porsche Cayenne that you've owned three over the years. That's quite an endorsement!
Ooohhh! I love this vehicle and I want to buy one. Cool vehicle! Too bad nothing standard. Oh well, you had fun driving it. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Really great review. We have owned 4 Cayenne and have just ordered a GTS spec’d for my wife. She currently has the ‘21 GTS and I have the Turbo. The new one looks amazing with the power increase but not loving some of the changes, such as the new location for the shifter, etc. but we will get used to that. Thanks for putting this together. You guys do a great job.
I have had 2 Cayenne S models and currently drive a 24 X5 M60i. I have had 12 X5's and will say the Cayenne is better, but BMW service is better for me at least. I will be going back to Cayenne next time and it will be the GTS, but wow have they raised the price.
Did Andrea like the new Cayenne? Heck ya! Just look at her beaming face throughout this video. If I was able to afford a Porsche I would go with one of their suv's. Although the 911 Targa is my favourite, I doubt that I would be able to get into it on a daily basis due to back issues.
Porsche's a'la carte configurator is notorious for quickly stacking up the price. Love love LOVE the screens integrated into the dash, but the piano black is a bit of a disappointment. One thing that has always bugged me: Porsche does not offer OEM trailer brake control, which is an absolute must-have for towing. Another fine review.
I still have my '16 GTS V6 twin turbo. GREAT for foul New England, snowy weather. Never once had an issue with its handling. Looking forward to upgrading to this V8 model
Just my opinion perhaps, but I really feel like this is a step backwards for Porsche. While I'm sure it drives incredibly, I just can't get over that cheap looking dash setup. I couldn't cough up all that money for something that looks like it's from an economy car. When mainstream cars use black plastic, you can understand. When luxury brands do it? No thanks.
Have had my used 2016 Cayenne S for one year. One word is “Wow.” Have owned BMWs and Mercedes but Porsche is now my favorite. It is a daily driver that checks performance, speed, handling and comfort. It is a great all around vehicle that keeps you smiling all the time!😎👍🏽😎
Hi, I currently have a 2021 Cayenne S and I am considering getting a 2021 or 2022 GTS or a Turbo. I wanted to get you alls opinion on which would be the recommended purchase between the 2022 RANGE ROVER SPORT or one of the cayennes I mentioned?
I would go with the Cayenne, better drivability, more sporty, less problematic in terms of service. Not to mentions all around performance is just better in the Porshe.
Wonderful! The Porsche Cayenne v8 dropped the cylinder deactivation for 2024. This 8 is a massive improvement for performance and longevity. That said, I wonder why they didn't drop the tiptronic and replaced it with the 7 or 8 speed pdk for the GTS and Turbo GT. It's fast now but it would be lightning fast. Most people owning a GTS or Turbo GT probably are more interested in performance over towing. That would be my best guess. Good presentation and review.
Hi guys great car, great review but very expensive! I can see a lot of Cayenne buyers looking for super car performance moving over to the new cheaper Macan Turbo EV which has more space now and still have money left over to spend on extras! best Clive
@motormouth - I love your insightful videos. I have a question - I am in love with the Porsche Panamera 4E - Hybrid.. but in Ontario it costs around 150K... thats a lot. If I have only 90K with me.. is there any Panamera like vehicle out in the Canadian Market ? What can i get under 100K ?
Amazing platform, as a 2024 X5 M60i owner, (which is already pushing $110,000) gives you 90% of the drive and 110% of the function. I don't see the extra value in the $40,000 upcharge for the "badge".
Very surprised on the low power figures. I was hoping for at least 550 (replacing the old turbo numbers, just like they did with the Macan GTS). 493 is just not enough power for something this heavy. Just look at Audi's RSQ8 power numbers, same engine and makes this one look anemic. 100 more HP and 100 more lb-ft for the same price.
I own 22 Macan GTS love love this SUV, but time to upgrade size, power and look. Going to order Carrera white with black interior and all black out features. Just finished built on porsche website about $145K, pretty loaded, but w/o crazy options. Hopefully will get before Xmass…..
@@Rissybear trading in, own for 25 months, with 26K miles, super nice car, but being 6 3” and having lousy back need an easier in/ out suv and cayenne fits just perfect
@@Rissybear that why they have 360 cameras and sensors, i used to park huge cadillacs and buick park avenues in late 80 on a streets of brooklyn w/o any of current monitors……
@@GretaBeth nah I optioned out a cayenne gts also fully optioned as my current 2024 cayenne s hybrid pebble grey. My cayenne s was 99k full optioned (except for like stitching). The gts was 150k full optioned. Going to pick it up in September. Cayenne is actually pretty cheap. The base model is 70k. Which is half the price of an audi q8.
Need real owners’ advice on cayenne s and GTS. The price that I optioned in the S is close to GTS , should i take the GTS as I plan to keep it for a long run and not a fan of air ride and lots of cosmetic updates that I do not really care about . Thanks
I see a few owners are putting Matt ppf film on that console so get rid of that gloss look. When done professionally looks really good and hard to notice it’s been done.
Let’s see, about 8% more power, about 8% less torque, than my Volvo (and we’ve all learned how important torque is) . . . But about US$92,000 less and 4X the mpg. And there’s this, Car and Driver says 5,100 lbs!, 600 more than my Volvo carting around a 41 mile battery!
I need that gesture control because I got cut off in traffic and found myself making an ob-, er, less than friendly, gesture at my fellow driver and something to control that would be just great. Those Germans are so stoic they likely don't need it at all.
All that piano black, that's why I'm not getting one. 😂 Honestly though, the interior looks cheap. I'm not sure if it's the piano black or the silly iPads they've stuck in the dash.
I've complained but the Porsche dealership pleads ignorance and won't attempt to deactivate the "Soundaktor" which is the exact same system used in some VW's. At least the Soundaktor is emitting real amplified mechanical noise and not recordings composed by Hans Zimmer through interior speakers like in BMW's. I'd be really unhappy if the Soundakor was active in Normal mode but it only functions in Sport and Sport Plus modes as far as I can tell. My "problem" with the Cayenne GTS is that sound insulation found in other Cayenne trims has been reduced to allow more mechanical and exhaust noise into the cabin - might be fun if I was 16 years old.
@@H2SO4H20 the Zimmer sound effect is only in their EV side of the house. Their M side of the house produces the same piped in sound effects as Porsche.
@@teriok6783 Yeah, I was jerking your chain with the Hans Zimmer comment but it's good to see that you are knowledgeable. (BTW, Zimmer is one of my favorite film score composers.) The mechanical noise is augmented but not really "piped in" by the Soundaktor which is in the engine compartment with what I call the "noise transfer component" attached to the firewall. I had hoped that the Porsche dealership would offer to shut it off with its PIWIS software since it can be shut off on a VW with similar diagnostic / customization software but that was a no go. It doesn't bother me enough to pursue the matter. R U a BMW owner? I had planned to by an X7 instead of a Cayenne but couldn't wake the BMW salesman from his afternoon nap.
@@H2SO4H20 I had a X7 and now have a 2024 Range Rover Autobiography PHEV. I am seriously considering a XB7 which is the same price as the Cayenne GTS. The X7 was the best vehicle that I’ve had in recent history and I really miss it.
Two things: what is with expensive cars having only one wireless charger? They should all have FOUR. Two in the front and two in the rear. At the very least. Road trip, put down your phone and leave it charge. Secondly, because of that black wide mouth of the front face darker colours and colours that go better with black (such as red) suit the design much more than white and light colours, IMO.
Why, oh why do seemingly all manufacturers insist on sticking piano black surfaces in their high end vehicles? Just about every reviewer and anyone I know thinks it is a terrible idea!! It constantly shows dust and finger prints and is guaranteed to scratch very easily. Every car should come with a free roll of Mactac of your choice.
My Cayenne is just under two years old and there's not a single scratch on any of the piano black plastic. I clean it and the screens every month or three with a microfiber cloth and screen cleaner spray which takes only a minute or two. I've wondered what people are doing to get these parts scratched up ... allowing dogs to run through the interior?
This vehicle is developed to a different (lower) spec than its immediate predecessor (2019 - 2023 9Y0.1 Cayenne.) Material quality - particularly the interior has been reduced. Standard features have become extra-cost.
I feel better about my '22 GTS purchase last year. The new interior is an abomination. Weird shifter placement, oddly cutout dashboard, all electronic gauges, gloss black body trim standard, wtf?, integrated screens are overkill. There's literally nothing I feel I'm missing. The power increase is a mute point because you can do an ECU flash and get 200hp for $1k if you want it. Porsche wasted their time in this model.
Porsche is confused. This is a hatchback/crossover.. SUV--high ground clearance, bixxy Reese end up maximize carry space, and various"linking differential"selection available..
Nobody NEEDS this SUV. But I WANT this SUV.
💯%
Ordering one this week!
+1 🩷
you need it you just don't know it!
😅😅😂you're a very funny clown.. I love you! I FUCKING NEED THIS CAR, SIR/MA!!! 😢😮🎉❤😊
You didn't need words on this review. The smiles said it all.
Great video, The bug on the door at 5:10 was funny but the car looks good.
literally came here for this
Well, the GTS is half the price of a 911 Turbo S and can carry two more people. There! I’ve justified buying one! 😂
You two are near the top of my list when it comes to auto reviews. It speaks volumes about the quality of the Porsche Cayenne that you've owned three over the years. That's quite an endorsement!
This car looks amazing. I'm really happy you guys help people with these reviews. I have learned so much since I have found your channel
Amazing video Andrea and Zack!
Loved the intro
I can see Andrea driving new 2025 Porsche Cayenne. She's loving this, Zack!! time to upgrade? 🙂
Porsche Engineering. Precision. Quality. 💯
Huh?.
Please could you explain me?
Very impressive Porsche. Not everyone can afford this cayenne and its maintenance schedule and that’s the point
I had the previous gen cayenne gts. Great vehicle, scary price tag.
Hahaha- You were both very enthusiastic today! Gee, I wonder why???
Ooohhh! I love this vehicle and I want to buy one. Cool vehicle! Too bad nothing standard. Oh well, you had fun driving it. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️

Right. My indulgent GTS build was shy of $170k. My bare bones bulid with (IMO) critical "driver" options was just under $140k
I still have my '16 GTS V6 twin turbo. GREAT for foul New England, snowy weather. Never once had an issue with its handling. Looking forward to upgrading to this V8 model
Great video, i have always loved the look of the cayenne. Lol i guess you have been to Winnipeg, our roads truly are like a war zone.
you guys need to do more loving this uniqueness going on

Hi Andrea and Zack nice Porsche but I like more your 2024 Golf GTI love it good video ( Ty RON
How much for that option that makes the car red from the inside and grey from the outside 😊
The cayenne or the X5? Which one is the better all rounder?

This loooks great. Is this Coupe or regular?
5:20 minutes there’s a hitch hiker on the window trim 😅
is it slower than out going model ?
So does it have ambient lighting ? The colorful type ?
Loved the bug at 5:05
It was have'n some fun!
Amazing how it turns to Red throughout the video
Sports mode engaged (for an upcharge!) 😄
We drove two models the Cayenne in Chalk and the Coupe in Carmine Red. The Carmine Red Coupe had red interior accents.
What is the average insurance for this vehicle/ age mature ?
What color of car you driving I've seen a blue/grey, black or dark blue and red. Love show.
We drove the Cayenne in Chalk and the Coupe in Carmine Red for this review.
I wish I could meet you guys when you come to Newfoundland
What year Cayenne Diesel do you guys have, asking for a friend... lol @motormouth
Get a matte wrap for the piano black
Stealth Xpel
Need a cyan wrap to be a Cyan Cayenne.
Andrea ! 💪 🙂
Hi guys great car, great review but very expensive! I can see a lot of Cayenne buyers looking for super car performance moving over to the new cheaper Macan Turbo EV which has more space now and still have money left over to spend on extras! best Clive
What color are u driving?
It's called Chalk
so good love both of you ❤

Get a used CPO one
A Corvette Challenger but how much?

You can tell she she’s in love with this SUV❤ technically the best SUV in the world

That's right, "bumpy Winnipeg roads". In Winnipeg, many of our pot holes are as large as craters.

For 125K it should make you dinner and babysit your kids too! Amazing car.

Are you going to do a review of the new 2025 911 GTS t-hybrid?
The hybrid or diesel is the common sense option but why is the GTS the one I actually want?
Do you think a PDK would make this SUV better or would it not make much difference? I’d love to know your thoughts on this. More power to you both!
I want one some day.
Which one has a better v8 sound? Cayenne S or GTS? Gen 2 cayenne S def better than gen 1 gts.
The most handsome and refined part of this vehicle is the logo😂
Could I get one on a 20 year loan ??
🎉 Happy Holiday 🇺🇲🇨🇦🎉A & Z and Your Entire Family 🎇🎇🎉
I have a Macan, but I would LOVE one of these - in PTS Nordic Gold - like yours.
The V8 GTS came back 5 years before this!?
My 2014 Cayenne Turbo S has 550 hp/ 560 ft.lbs. 0 to 60 4.0. 4.8 twin turbo.
How come my speedometer is going to wrong direction...... oh wait that's the gas gauge. And 135k starting. LOL.
I have the gt turbo hybrid gt 739bhp of pure joy
I think the S is the sweet spot but nothing wrong with the GTS.
My dealer told me Saturday there is a 2 year wait....
