2014 Porsche Cayenne Review: Too Powerful For Its Own Good?

Following the success of the Macan, Porsche refreshed the Cayenne with a brand new model. The latter is simply too great for us to hate it. The Cayenne is simply a perfect all-rounder in the luxury SUV segment.

In detail, the car can run on dirt roads, climb hills, speed on the highway and traffic jams with sheer joy. Of course, the special treatment comes when on the road, not off it.

This is after we realized that Porsche is picking up the habit to turn each and every single SUV in its line-up into an oversized sports car. We realized this started with the Macan and now, the Cayenne does exactly the same.

The Porsche Cayenne that is powered by a 4.8L V-8 Turbo, in particular, generates a whopping 500hp and 516lb-fts of torque. This ensures that the SUV can sprint from 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds, while also having a top speed of 172mph.

Despite that fact, the specialty is not with the overpowered motor. It is actually with the Cayenne’s ability to twist and turns like the 911 Spyder. It is really amazing on how the German carmaker managed to pull this off, considering that the Cayenne is large in size.

Costing at £89,324, the Cayenne is definitely developed for the rich folks. On the bright side of things, Porsche has finally learned the definition of comfort. The Cayenne’s interior has improved by a magnitude since it comes equip with a sat-nav, thick yet soft seats, Apple connectivity, push-button controls and more.

The bottom line is that the latest Porsche Cayenne is the fastest and best-performing luxury SUV in the world right now. Perhaps, the next step for Porsche is to produce something of a similar calibre, while thinking about the environment.
