Took delivery of a new Cayenne GTS in March, the V8 engine is stunning and sounds incredible. Have had Range Rover Vogues for years and have driven sports cars and this is a perfect mix of both, put it in Sports or Sports Plus and it drives like a 911(probably better on wet and bumpy UK roads) or leave it in normal and it is great for transporting dogs and kids. Yes it is expensive but it is apparent why as soon as you drive it hard, smile inducing acceleration, handling and of the course the sound of the V8!
This is why i can't help but love porsche. They backtracked on the whole screen thing and actually put hard buttons back in. They learn from their mistakes and have no ego (cough, ferrari, cough). That dedicated A/C compressor switch was brilliant. Great looking car too in that spec. All they need to do is cut some weight off that thing and put a PDK in and it would be the perfect SUV
Disagree on the PDK. It does not suit the Cayenne nor does it need it. Everyone moans about it. I own a 911 with a PDK and a Cayenne with the auto. When I drive Macans with the PDK….no thanks. PDK for the Panny and the Sports Cars. Not the Cayenne
...and yet despite years now of pushback and braun-shaver jokes, they continue to give the 992--and now this (in a worse location)--the dumb shifter-let. Confounds.
That proves the point that Porsche is lost: their only EV SUV product is a 2030 vaporware, that for it's proposed date, size and price, it will be better for them to sell an EVTOL. When one consider options like the Eletre, the Ocean, and the Polestar 4, this Cayenne is a true dinosaur.
They make the best performance vehicles in the industry other than more costly exotics. Thats why people wait years for allocations of many models. I prefer to see their options as a way to customize a car to my needs. Base cars are pretty well equipped with just a few options such as upgraded wheels, metallic paint and audio.
That’s not a lie. The good thing is that the stuff you really need (PACM, head up display etc) are relatively reasonably priced. For a Porsche that is.
I’m a Porsche guy… and I recognize many owners will just lease this Cayenne. But $152k?!? No way I would pay anywhere near that for a middle of the pack trim level. It’s just not special enough.
@@TheZakk28 I optioned out a really nicely equipped S at under $130k. JUST under $130k. To me that’s a lot better. I optioned out a ‘24 hybrid to match my ‘23 Hybrid and it was only $2k more….which is exactly what I would have paid if I had not gotten the Platinum Edition.
I recently picked up my new Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe that I ordered in August 2022. It cost $261K NZ which included $5k clean car tax and $7.5k for full PPF. It is All Black apart from the red brake callipers. Inside is black as well. It now seems an absolute bargain. I went on to the new Configurator and specced the S up to what my car has and it came out at $273k NZ without the PPF, the radar detector, the clean car tax and the car insurance which all were included in my list price. To top it off, the S isn't a GTS and the lack of a gear shifter in the new S leaves me cold. It's a shame you can't put a photo on comments. Needless to say I'm so pleased to have my GTS in the pre facelift guise.
The Macan loaner I was provided recently felt much more nimble than our Cayenne but the two models are targeting different buyers. The Macan is more of a 2-plus-2 due to it's cramped rear seats. The Cayenne's rear seat area is limousine-like in comparison with much more leg and head room. It's rear seat backs recline and the entire rear seats can be moved fore and aft. There were also safety and convenience features that were available on the Cayenne when I bought it last summer that were not available on the Macan, e.g. wireless Android Auto, LED matrix headlights, InnoDrive.
Excellent review as always. You've always been on the money about the recent tendency by many makers to place nearly all dash functions on touchscreens, especially the most frequently used ones, instead of buttons and switches, which are both easier and safer to operate. On the gold standard for 3-row SUVs, interesting that you state that the gold standard is the Merc GLS and nothing else! 16:22. I say interesting, because most of the tests I've seen go for the BMW X7 over the GLS. So, I wonder if different testers judge cars to different criteria.
Hello Motoman! I am a big fan! Great review, as always! Please reply to this question, which other viewers may also find valuable. You state that the PERFORMANCE options transform this vehicle. When considering building / optioning a 2024 Cayenne S, how would you prioritize the "Performance" options beyond "Adaptive Air Suspension including PASM" @ $2,390, which is mandatory to enable the other perrformancce options? "Rear Axle Stearing" @ $1,280? PTV+ @ $1,500. "PDCC" @ $3,590? Would excluding one or more of them be a mistake? Including the Adaptive Air Suspension, the total cost of these four performance options is $8,760.
Good question: Everything you mentioned as well as four wheel steering is required to make the Cayenne stand out from a driving dynamics point of view.
Had two Porsche sport cars years ago. Their option policy made me defect to other brands and I would never go back. At this point, it is getting so ridiculous and there are way better options out there
Actually, there are not. Porsche is the sweet spot in terms of performance, Luxury, and reliability. Just because you cannot afford one does not mean that your options are better.
I own a 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS that is highly optioned and absolutely love it. Lately I have been thinking of buying another Porsche like maybe a used GT3, a used Panamera, or Cayenne. I just can't pull the trigger because of the crazy just in price. Honestly I will probably just keep the Cayman. Nothing else compares when you figure the performance you get for the money you pay.
I just built an S for $118. I need a bigger gas car. We went from 911 and Cayenne to 2 x Taycans and I need to give up one Taycan for a bigger gas car and want to stay loyal to Porsche. They are wonderful vehicles and nothing compares.
Great to see you in a Porsche again. It’s been far too long! I really like the updates to the Cayenne, but I hate the lack of an upper trim piece on the main instrument cluster, it looks like it was forgotten and they actually designed it that way?! The price point is my other gripe, this is a vehicle that I’d have a hard time justifying the purchase price even if I had that kind of money to drop. This might be one of the rare cases where leasing makes more sense than buying. Never thought I’d say that. Don’t tell Dave Ramsey.😂
Absolutely going to rat you out to Mr Ramsey . . . :) And yes, has been far too long, but from what I understand, that may be changing over the next couple of months.
My prediction: there will be no “Turbo” trim. We will get GTS, Hybrid S (what engine this will be is the biggest mystery), and Turbo S E Hybrid. No Turbo without the Hybrid.
Good question! The pricing we use on this show is in US dollars as provided by the US manufacturer or importer. As such, sales tax (as high as 10%), luxury tax and/or road tax is not included in these figures.
Not a fan of the hoodless instrument cluster, and I loved the BIG analog tach and hate it's gone. Other than those missteps, I generally like the new looks inside and out.
Great review as always! Can you imagine what the S would drive like if it was 500 lbs. lighter? Wow. That’s an attractive vehicle in that color but if it was me I’d buy the SUV instead. MotoMan, would you say the Cayenne or Macan is most important to Porsche overall?
If you mean that the mining for the lithium does more environmental damage then the emissions from a well maintained V8 over its life time.... that truth is being ignored.
Are you accounting for the fact that EV’s will likely stay on the road 50-100% longer? I think you will see 250k mile EV as fairly common. Are also taking into account all the land pollution from runoff at gas stations and oil change places? Not to mention the wasted land use.

The taillight improvement could make up buy a new one. I hated the 992.1. I once pulled up behind one and thought it was a Dodge. Also, the 992.1 looked like it had its teeth knocked out, in the front. This is much better.
I agree. The hoodless instrument cluster looks ridiculous. Gives the vehicle a cheap look. I'm glad they got rid of the dummy key start to the left of the steering column. That is something that should have died decades ago. I would still take an X5 over the Cayenne.
Wow, my E3.1 Cayenne S came in at around $100k 4 yrs ago, and that was expensive. $152k for a Cayenne S?! No thanks! And I don't like how Porsche had gotten rid of the twist-motion ignition, replaces that with a button, that's not Porsche if you understood what I meant.
The people of the past would be confused as their notions on SUV were of the agriculture variety. Modern day SUV/crossovers of today no longer share the outdated body-on-frame construction of truck-based SUV’s. Only sports cars and sedans would have the more lightweight and modern unibody design that improve handling. So the idea of Porsche SUV would’ve shocked people from the past as it is very spacious like a wagon with the height of an SUV. Crossovers are just wagons made sportier. Despite purist hating on the SUV/crossover trend, this body style is not a trend. It is here to stay. The wagon design of a crossover SUV is modernity and the way of the future.
152K! Jesus. I will buy a 2018 lightly used Ftype R and buy the base Cayenne with the V6 for the same price. With the remaining 6-10K I will put into options on the Cayenne and a tune with an upgraded pully on the Jag.
Idk what you keep going on about Porsche putting back in analog controls. They took out so many useful shortcut haptic buttons from the e3.1 cayenne, not to mention putting a giant hole in the center console where the gear lever ought to be - not a fan of the shaver on the dash. Compared to the taycan sure, but each model always has a distinct interior. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (4 time cayenne owner here)
I don't understand the "they've backtracked" statement on physical buttons? They've added ONE toggle switch to control the A/C on/off, and how often is that used?? You realize they've also *removed* one physical control (the volume wheel).
There is indeed a physical volume knob. It is the multifunction knob on the console. And they did make a change with it. Previous generation defaulted to the menu where now it defaults to volume. Small but VERY big change.
It’s a nice looking car, but it sucks they don’t have the PDK on it. Also, compared to BMW X5M it’s much slower…almost by a full second. If you want a performance suv, then the bmw is the way to go.
The only deal breaker on the new Cayenne for me is the fact that the interior is only available in all-black or in base-black. Many folks prefer light interior shades. Doing all-black or base-black is a cost cutting measure that many brands are employing.
For 130k+ I’d be running to the Audi dealer to order an RS6 avant. Or maybe a nicely soecced Range Rover. A cayenne is a nice SUV but the price is just beyond absurd for what it is
Can't argue with you on the Audi, but there is no way you are getting one at sticker short of having pictures of the owner of the dealer with small farm animals.
One of my friends bought the very base Cayenne 5 or 6 years ago for the badge, only spent less than 70k. but heck, this 150k car still has chrome windows, looks stupidly funny expensive, I would take a X5M/X6M with less money without a doubt.
So to summarize, it has all the capabilities of a a regular car on a road like that with none of the utility of an SUV and the inflated sticker of a Porsche...I want one!
I've tried to love non-911's, I've tried really hard. I owned a Taycan (couldn't wait to get rid of it), wife has a Panamera (boring), driven Macan and Cayenne loaners - but nothing can come close to the 911. OK maybe the 718. I'm OK with these VW boxes on wheels as long as it allows them to keep making 911's.
@@MrSchn3ll Precisely, it's to keep the lights on at the company. One variant of the Cayenne that was quite special was the manual. I wish Porsche would bring that back, even if it was on just the base motor.
(my random personal opinion) But I think for the sake of maximum profit to be able to continue making the 911, porsche should minimize the amount of cayman/boxster models (there really only needs to be a 4 and an S, both small n/a F6s), drop the Panamera sedan, and cut it down to only a coupe and the wagon (also that should only have 4 (2.9T) and 4s (4.0T) trims) then maybe combine the macan and cayenne into one model? Something with the same amount or maybe even more interior space than the cayenne but retaining the macan's pdk. Then for EU emissions regulations reasons go all in for a SEPARATE EV lineup.
Who wantsa Porsche that doesn't make noise? I have a Cayenne and a 911 and if God forbid they ever announce the end of ICEs Im going to buy a couple to keep till my demise.
Does this car have lane change assist, blind spot detection....no options only! Car over 90k base price should have these not force yo buy. Regulations should be in place to have them std features.
@@trevorphillips3922 not like dont buy if you dont like as if you build them. If i buy, i can afford to add those, if i buy with above 80k then it sucks paying to add those safety features. This is like blackmailing customers. U can understand what i am saying here.
$152K for a cayenne S …. my theory is that Porsche doesn’t want to sell too many of these V8 models, in order to meet emissions limits, but is offering this for enthusiasts.
Elephant in the room, the fakakta shifter!! (Even more than the 992 PDK if that was possible). George, unless I missed a mention (possible), there must have been a codicil in your first drive contract with Porsche "No mention of the (fakakta) shifter. Sign here, bitte und danke _______." By the way, glare or no, couldn't agree with you more about the missing guage hood.
Good point . . . had a VERY tight timeline with this car so there were points I wanted to get to but just didn't have the time. The 'fakakta' shifter was one of them.
Beautiful car with the new styling but the Macan GTS is still my fav. more nimble and better dimensions in my book. E cars are horrible, pushed by the fanatic tree suckers.
It’s not the gold standard. The BMW X5 M Competition is the standard, period. For 15K less, you get a German super SUV that is the second to third fastest SUV today, behind the Cayenne turbo GT for 200K plus. The M is more equipped, luxurious and of course more powerful than any Porsche SUV, except for the turbo GT.
I’m a Porsche guy, but if you want a true Porsche, the Cayenne isn’t it. Get the X5 instead - better looking, better built, cheaper, better MPG, more standard horsepower/torque, and 3 years of complementary maintenance. I’d save 10’s of thousands of dollars by going with an X5 M Competition and getting a 718 or 911 cabriolet as a second fun car.. always thought the Cayenne looked like a frog from the front
Crazy money with those options. Just like going to a casino and dropping off a sack of money and going back home. I think I’d take a decked out BMW X5 M or even the X5 M50/M60. Even the Audi RS Q8 would be a bit less expensive with more power. Or just go nuts and buy a lightning fast Tesla Model X Plaid and still have money for charging.
That missing hood over the instruments is so awful I can't imagine buying this. It would drive me nuts looking at that -- looks like a thief stole the hood and forgot the radio.
😂😂😂 Anybody driving today a car with an internal combustion engine, is not a smart person. Don't drive too far from gas stations with your V8, 😂😂😂, you'll have an empty tank within a very short time. Ohh.., and enjoy the noise of V8 power 😂😂😂, keep an eye on your engine's cooling system, oil level, and a lot of other gauges.... Just Go Electric with a zero maintenance costs..and enjoy the driveb
I do feel strongly that Porsche should take a page from Mazda and dress up the engine. Functionally, they didn't need to but they realized for a car like that, the buyer would perfer polished valve covers to plastic.
Prob 80% of the buyers look under the hood when they first get it and never again. Well maybe to add some washer fluid. Didn’t BMW have an external port for that?

The Taycan’s boomerang gauge screen is more attractive.
Is this the algarve blue?
We want to see the Algarve blue metallic their new color too !
I agree. The hoodless instrument cluster looks ridiculous. Gives the vehicle a cheap look.
I'm glad they got rid of the dummy key start to the left of the steering column.
That is something that should have died decades ago.
I would still take an X5 over the Cayenne.
Nice looking Audi SUV
Wow, my E3.1 Cayenne S came in at around $100k 4 yrs ago, and that was expensive. $152k for a Cayenne S?! No thanks! And I don't like how Porsche had gotten rid of the twist-motion ignition, replaces that with a button, that's not Porsche if you understood what I meant.
The sport utility "coupe." Less practicality. More money. Beautiful color combination at least. PT Barnum was correct...
possibly it is 434 hp for 2019 Cayenne S with 2.9. Not 443 hp?
The people of the past would be confused as their notions on SUV were of the agriculture variety. Modern day SUV/crossovers of today no longer share the outdated body-on-frame construction of truck-based SUV’s. Only sports cars and sedans would have the more lightweight and modern unibody design that improve handling. So the idea of Porsche SUV would’ve shocked people from the past as it is very spacious like a wagon with the height of an SUV. Crossovers are just wagons made sportier. Despite purist hating on the SUV/crossover trend, this body style is not a trend. It is here to stay. The wagon design of a crossover SUV is modernity and the way of the future.
Good description.
152K! Jesus. I will buy a 2018 lightly used Ftype R and buy the base Cayenne with the V6 for the same price. With the remaining 6-10K I will put into options on the Cayenne and a tune with an upgraded pully on the Jag.
Idk what you keep going on about Porsche putting back in analog controls. They took out so many useful shortcut haptic buttons from the e3.1 cayenne, not to mention putting a giant hole in the center console where the gear lever ought to be - not a fan of the shaver on the dash. Compared to the taycan sure, but each model always has a distinct interior. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (4 time cayenne owner here)
What color is that ?
George, can't find anything that explains WHY the Cayenne is the only Porsche vehicle that still has a tiptronic vs. PDK. Do you know why??
Spoke to the engineer about it. Same as other generations: Torque and payload requirements.
@@MotoManTV I gotta believe a 992 turbo s has more torque. It’s got to be the towing/payload. Thanks for the prompt answer.
@@tedkramer1208 I was told it is better for towing.
I don't understand the "they've backtracked" statement on physical buttons? They've added ONE toggle switch to control the A/C on/off, and how often is that used?? You realize they've also *removed* one physical control (the volume wheel).
Believe it or not people like physical knobs and buttons lol
There is indeed a physical volume knob. It is the multifunction knob on the console. And they did make a change with it. Previous generation defaulted to the menu where now it defaults to volume. Small but VERY big change.
Warm a/c on, cold a/c off. Depends where you live I guess. In Boston that's off in the morning then on when I leave work.
It’s a nice looking car, but it sucks they don’t have the PDK on it. Also, compared to BMW X5M it’s much slower…almost by a full second. If you want a performance suv, then the bmw is the way to go.
If you want a real performance suv, buy the CayenneTurbo GT. ;)
If you want performace - dont buy a suv.
The only deal breaker on the new Cayenne for me is the fact that the interior is only available in all-black or in base-black. Many folks prefer light interior shades. Doing all-black or base-black is a cost cutting measure that many brands are employing.
For 130k+ I’d be running to the Audi dealer to order an RS6 avant. Or maybe a nicely soecced Range Rover. A cayenne is a nice SUV but the price is just beyond absurd for what it is
Can't argue with you on the Audi, but there is no way you are getting one at sticker short of having pictures of the owner of the dealer with small farm animals.
😂
$166K for a gorgeous blue one at my Audi dealer last week. I bought an A4 instead.
@@MotoManTV are they marking up Audi RS6 cars because of limited supply?
One of my friends bought the very base Cayenne 5 or 6 years ago for the badge, only spent less than 70k. but heck, this 150k car still has chrome windows, looks stupidly funny expensive, I would take a X5M/X6M with less money without a doubt.
What name is the colour of that car
The price ?? A trifle. For people who can buy it. It's a Porsche after all.
For me, a wet dream. But I will buy it too. One time . Maybe.
So to summarize, it has all the capabilities of a a regular car on a road like that with none of the utility of an SUV and the inflated sticker of a Porsche...I want one!
Can someone let me know what color it is? Thank you
Covered in the episode.
Montego Blue Metallic is the exterior color
what this the colour name?
very good suv.
I've tried to love non-911's, I've tried really hard. I owned a Taycan (couldn't wait to get rid of it), wife has a Panamera (boring), driven Macan and Cayenne loaners - but nothing can come close to the 911. OK maybe the 718. I'm OK with these VW boxes on wheels as long as it allows them to keep making 911's.
Maybe the base ones but I do not agree at all
@@kingdomfunding Different strokes... There's no Cayenne or Macan ever made that I would trade my 911 for.
@@MrSchn3ll Precisely, it's to keep the lights on at the company. One variant of the Cayenne that was quite special was the manual. I wish Porsche would bring that back, even if it was on just the base motor.
(my random personal opinion) But I think for the sake of maximum profit to be able to continue making the 911, porsche should minimize the amount of cayman/boxster models (there really only needs to be a 4 and an S, both small n/a F6s), drop the Panamera sedan, and cut it down to only a coupe and the wagon (also that should only have 4 (2.9T) and 4s (4.0T) trims) then maybe combine the macan and cayenne into one model? Something with the same amount or maybe even more interior space than the cayenne but retaining the macan's pdk. Then for EU emissions regulations reasons go all in for a SEPARATE EV lineup.
1st person to cross-shop a 911 and a cayenne💀😂
VAG need to sort that 2 seconds of dead pedal moving off from rest on the 4.0
I’m leaving Mercedes because Porsche is going V8 again. I’m in 💯
Title didnt age well. EV craze has come and gone.
Who wantsa Porsche that doesn't make noise? I have a Cayenne and a 911 and if God forbid they ever announce the end of ICEs Im going to buy a couple to keep till my demise.
Does this car have lane change assist, blind spot detection....no options only! Car over 90k base price should have these not force yo buy. Regulations should be in place to have them std features.
Why should that be regulated? If you don’t like it, just don’t buy it.
@@trevorphillips3922 not like dont buy if you dont like as if you build them. If i buy, i can afford to add those, if i buy with above 80k then it sucks paying to add those safety features. This is like blackmailing customers. U can understand what i am saying here.
Make an electric version of this and I will buy it until then model x plaid it is
Your wish is in the process of being granted!
$152K for a cayenne S …. my theory is that Porsche doesn’t want to sell too many of these V8 models, in order to meet emissions limits, but is offering this for enthusiasts.
The price is absolutely ridiculous. 170k tax in?? Sorry but there is no way I would pay that much for this regardless of budget.
Yeezys. My Macan turbo cost 99k. My gt3 cost 165. But No way I would spend 150 on a cayenne.
Elephant in the room, the fakakta shifter!! (Even more than the 992 PDK if that was possible). George, unless I missed a mention (possible), there must have been a codicil in your first drive contract with Porsche "No mention of the (fakakta) shifter. Sign here, bitte und danke _______."
By the way, glare or no, couldn't agree with you more about the missing guage hood.
Good point . . . had a VERY tight timeline with this car so there were points I wanted to get to but just didn't have the time. The 'fakakta' shifter was one of them.
Geez that price
Beautiful car with the new styling but the Macan GTS is still my fav. more nimble and better dimensions in my book. E cars are horrible, pushed by the fanatic tree suckers.
Better with the older V8 Hybrid! Faster!
It’s not the gold standard. The BMW X5 M Competition is the standard, period. For 15K less, you get a German super SUV that is the second to third fastest SUV today, behind the Cayenne turbo GT for 200K plus. The M is more equipped, luxurious and of course more powerful than any Porsche SUV, except for the turbo GT.
I’m a Porsche guy, but if you want a true Porsche, the Cayenne isn’t it. Get the X5 instead - better looking, better built, cheaper, better MPG, more standard horsepower/torque, and 3 years of complementary maintenance. I’d save 10’s of thousands of dollars by going with an X5 M Competition and getting a 718 or 911 cabriolet as a second fun car.. always thought the Cayenne looked like a frog from the front
And where would you save those tens of thousands of dollars? Genuine question
@@JamesSame-qf5uw A X5 M compared to a Cayenne turbo E-Hybrid or well equipped GTS is much cheaper
The button ignition sucks. Please change it back Porsche!
Pricing is too complicated. You do not know what feature you need unless you have lots of money and just select every damn feature.
This is a 2023 GTS
Crazy money with those options. Just like going to a casino and dropping off a sack of money and going back home. I think I’d take a decked out BMW X5 M or even the X5 M50/M60. Even the Audi RS Q8 would be a bit less expensive with more power. Or just go nuts and buy a lightning fast Tesla Model X Plaid and still have money for charging.
Tesla is crap
Only thirty options..
Porsche tax $40k. They are dreaming with that option selection
This is the Coupe. Not the SUV.
That missing hood over the instruments is so awful I can't imagine buying this. It would drive me nuts looking at that -- looks like a thief stole the hood and forgot the radio.
😂😂😂
Anybody driving today a car with an internal combustion engine, is not a smart person.
Don't drive too far from gas stations with your V8, 😂😂😂, you'll have an empty tank within a very short time. Ohh.., and enjoy the noise of V8 power 😂😂😂, keep an eye on your engine's cooling system, oil level, and a lot of other gauges....
Just Go Electric with a zero maintenance costs..and enjoy the driveb
Not everyone like EV
The plastic engine cover makes it look as exciting as a Lexus sedan, from Porsche??? Big miss in my opinion...
I do feel strongly that Porsche should take a page from Mazda and dress up the engine. Functionally, they didn't need to but they realized for a car like that, the buyer would perfer polished valve covers to plastic.
Prob 80% of the buyers look under the hood when they first get it and never again. Well maybe to add some washer fluid. Didn’t BMW have an external port for that?
The last good Cayennes 2019 made in Germany, now is made in Slovakia 🇸🇰 😅😂🤦♂️
It’s a egg without a future. I don’t own a Tesla but it’s pretty easy to see that these vehicles are dying
