Which is the most popular engine in the Porsche Cayenne?

The petrol engines prove to be the most popular with customers, since the diesel Cayenne was removed from sale in 2018. However, the plug-in hybrid engines are growing in popularity, thanks to exceptional electric-only driving ranges and remarkable performance figures.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

Porsche currently makes the Cayenne in five trims: Base, E-Hybrid, S, S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid. Among these, the base is popular for its lower cost. However, the mid-range S trim stands as the most popular among Cayenne owners.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Buyers of used Cayennes should look out for different colour and wheel combinations. There's also an available passenger display that is invisible from the driver's seat, but offers a lot of options for those riding in the front.

Is the Porsche Cayenne a good family car?

Yes, the Cayenne was designed for Porsche enthusiasts who wanted to head out with their family. It offers the performance of a sports car but has the interior room to hold five people comfortably. It also features a bigger boot than most vehicles in the segment, making it easier to pack for the whole family.

Is there a hybrid version of the Porsche Cayenne?

Porsche has released several hybrid variants of the Cayenne. Newer models can be found, such as the E-Hybrid, S E-Hybrid or Turbo E-Hybrid trim, each with different power outputs and efficiency ratings.

Is the Porsche Cayenne available as a manual?

No, Porsche have never sold a manual version of the Cayenne in the UK. All used Cayennes are automatic only.

Is the Cayenne four-wheel drive as standard?

Since its debut, the Porsche Cayenne has been manufactured with standard all-wheel drive. This drivetrain ensures better traction and handling, and also has the ability to handle some mild off-roading.

Different generations of used Porsche Cayenne

Porsche invented the first sports SUV when it released the Cayenne in 2002. The goal was to take the powerful engines that the company was known for and pair them with a spacious, practical vehicle. All the hard work paid off as Porsche the Cayenne instantly became the brand's best-selling model. Used Cayenne buyers can choose from three generations, as well as various facelifts, each bringing more style, performance and technology.

First Generation (2002-2010)

The Cayenne was released to add a new dimension for the manufacturer, which previously only made sports cars. With the original Cayenne sharing a platform with VW, it was unclear how well the sports SUV would be received, but it went on to be the best-selling Porsche model of the time, proving that this was a desirable vehicle. Its original design looked a lot like the Porsche 911, with some elements that were all-new.

A 2008 refresh added a streamlined headlight design and DRLs that were put underneath, in the air scoops. New rear-view mirrors were also installed. Inside the cabin, Porsche added different dials and controls to the instrument cluster, making it more user-friendly.

Second Generation (2010 to 2017)

To keep up with sales, Porsche created a second-generation Cayenne with a whole new look. The boxy shape and curved back were retained, but Porsche added a refreshed headlight and taillight design. The SUV also grew longer, higher and wider.

A facelift occurred in 2014 with clearer body lines and a sharp styling upgrade. A black plastic shield was swapped for the previous aluminium underbody protection and the manual gearbox was removed.

Third Generation (2018 to Present)

Starting with the third-generation Cayenne, Porsche shared the platform with the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga, while adding more equipment, such as rear-wheel steering that enhanced its turning ratio and cornering speed. In the front, the Cayenne received a new grille design, while the back got a new roof spoiler. An E-Hybrid version was also released at the same time.

The models remained mostly unchanged through 2023, when a slight facelift was released. The performance was heightened and the cabin equipment was upgraded to ensure that everything was modern. The overall length was also increased, which helped to create more interior room.
