I have had this SUV for about 4 months. I was driving a Mercedes S550 AWD the last several years. I miss some of the creature comforts of the Mercedes and the smooth ride.It is simply more refined. The Cayenne is more responsive and a blast to drive. I am sell getting used to the profound differences of the two vehicles.
A performance SUV with right trade-offs

2016 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C gas/electric hybrid 8A)

An excellent overall SUV that is performance vehicle if you choose to on highway, a comfy cruiser during long distance travel and easy stop and go vehicle on street especially on electric mode. Personally, I use the SUV as electric only on street or slow traffic, based on mood on highway runs in comfort cruise mode or sports plus mode. I have driven this vehicle at very high speeds, I mean real real high speeds, and it won't sweat it. The transitions in low gears when you are in Electric drive can be clunky. Breaking at times on streets speeds the downshift kind of kicks hard before braking. Of course, servicing is going to be expensive, it's a Porsche. Cayenne is built like a Tank. It is extra heavy due the battery pack in the trunk. Due to the battery taking up space, there is no spare tire. It is 8-speed automatic, with shift pads and you can do the quasi manual shifts but I prefer by shift pads. One of the cool features is you can choose e-drive on and off as well as you can re-charge the battery while driving where the engine allocates a bit of its power to charge the battery. Really useful, when you are expecting slower traffic or street traffic. The interior is premium leather and the way the steering and. the instrumentation is set up is a driver's paradise. Most of the charging is overnight charging on 110-volt outlet with the charger that was provided with the car. Depending on the season the all electric range is 7 - 17. During spring, summer and fall its around 12 miles with drastic reduction in cold weather. This was a tail-end 2nd generation of Cayenne, the infotainment reflects it. For me it reduces distraction and bluetooth does the job for me, but if Apple Car play is needed you need Get 3 Cayenne or there are some custom solutions that would need $600 dollars and some professional installation on the infotainment apparatus. I am happy with vehicle over all even though I needed a radio replacement and cost $2,000 for the replacement. I do not know how gracefully it will age but if I go by the 1st generation, these age really well because they are really well built vehicles, and if you maintain well hold up well for a long long time.

2015 Porsche Cayenne Diesel 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

This is a nice SUV with a Euro driving feel. The handling is tight but could use a little more power. Over all it’s a Porsche fit and finish nice attention to detail.

I bought a used cayenne diesel platinum edition which had done just under 40000 miles a month ago.Coming from a Bmw X6 twin turbo diesel i was pleasantly surprised. The interior is first rate except for the fuel dial which is partially hidden by a wiper stalk.The seats are very comfortable and hold you gently on point to point dashes across country. The acceleration is brisk as i went for the 262 hp engine which is slightly more efficient and slightly more responsive than the 240 hp engine. As an all round package its hard to beat and the ride is much more superior than the X6 with run flat tyres which bounced that much it made passengers feel sick in the back.Would i buy another one? Yes, but it would have to have the panoramic sun roof which makes the black interior less dark and more welcoming.I intend to keep this car for at least seven or eight years provided it does'nt start to cost me money like my old mercedes Ml 420 cdi did in the later years of its life.
