2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
38 of 38 people found this review helpful

2/2019 update: Edmunds asked for an update from the 17,060 odometer reading. It now has 19,810 miles on odometer. Fuel average is now at 15.3 mpg, using 93 octane, with a 50/50 mix of city and highway. Oil additions are now at an average of needing a half-quart of Mobil 1 0w-40 added every 946 miles, but 1 standard deviation is 513 miles; the lowest it has gone before needing a half quart added was 356 miles and the longest was 2084 miles - 2nd longest was 1511 miles. There have been no maintenance issues yet. We traded in our '12 Turbo (500 hp) for this used but certified '16. Both the '12 and '16 had/have the sport chrono pkg. The buttons on the center console area are very easy to use. This vehicle has been fantastic to drive. With 520 hp, it accelerates 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds and there is zero turbo lag at any time. One big advantage of this model is the buttons on the console that allow the climate for driver or passenger to have air flow exactly as they wish in any combination of air flow outlets. The Bose sound is very good, way better than the Harmon Kardon in our two Mercedes cars (wagon and CLS) that have the weakest bass sound ever. The navigation system works well - this car doesn't have voice control (note: Mercedes nav is horrible). Heated steering wheel is very comfortable in the winter. The 15.6 mpg over the 8900 miles I've been tracking it on a spreadsheet is 0.3 mpg less than what the trip computer has calculated. The EPA, which always overstates mpg, has it rated as 14/21 for city/hwy. It requires 93 octane like all Porsches, so if you live in an area where 91 octane is the highest available, the ECU will not nearly give you the acceleration performance that this car could give you. Reliability has been fine so far (expect to pay about $2K when the front brakes (rotors and pads) are replaced). There is no oil dipstick; once the car has been driven around 10 miles, a dash view of oil level can be seen in a submenu. This has averaged needing a half-quart of Mobil 1 0w-40 added every 870 miles, which is about normal for their twin turbo V-8. Cargo space in the rear is fine for us - it carries a few golf bags, etc. and has WAY more trunk capacity than the Macan or Audi Q5. While I'd love a Macan, they're just too small in the cargo area and the front leg area is too short for me. One problem with Cayennes is removing the retractable cargo cover shade entirely out of the bracket that holds it in place. It is a ridiculously tough chore! This '16 has the sport exhaust option and the sound is quite exciting outside the vehicle, but you barely hear it inside - it sounds much more thrilling on this V-8 than on the Cayenne V-6 loaner I got. While we have a locking differential control, we've only used it a couple of times while clambering up a snowy, pine-covered trail to a camp. If you really need that go anywhere capability, I'd guess the Range Rover would be the one to get. This came with summer tires - as soon as it got cold I took them off and put on all-season tires on the 21 inch wheels. The ride would be a bit more comfortable on rougher roads with smaller wheels. The LED low beam headlights have a sharp cutoff - I'd prefer them to light up more of the road in front of us. There is an extremely annoying start/stop function - even though we turn it off, the '16 resets itself to "on" each time the engine is turned off. That split second, when you don't realize the start/stop is functioning and you're turning left while seeing oncoming traffic, and you'll understand what I mean. You're saving a few cents a week in gas but the starter is being used 20 times a day - what'll that Porsche starter cost to replace after the warranty is up? This has parking sensors front and rear that work very well (those in our Mercedes are useless), and the blind spot monitors are good too. Fortunately, the cruise control is NOT the adaptive option - I do not like those. Heated and ventilated seats work very well in front - the rear only has the base heated seats. Transmission has worked flawlessly so far.

Its a Porsche for a reason

I have had this vehicle for almost a year now coming from a bigger and somewhat slower SUV ( Full-Size Range Rover) this Porsche is a performance vehicle and once you step on the gas you feel it. The breaking system is unbelievable precise (also very expensive to replace via the dealer) the infotainment and interior design is that of airplane if your familiar Porsche then its pretty easy if not it could get confusing. Sometimes I wish the in dash screen could be a little bigger. For the size of the Cayenne the trunk space is kind of disappointing barely can hold anything . I was so use to my range rover being a rough off road vehicle so nyc potholes didnt really bother as the air suspension would absorb the bulk of it in the Porsche the suspension is more tuned for performance so I feel more of the road while driving.The handling on this vehicle decent its not better than BMW around corners but does a good job All in all its a great performance SUV for a good price just a little pricey on maintenance if I were to do it all over again I probably would go up a model to the S or GTS thats just the inner speed demon in me though

We are now over 50K and the car is the same as it was when it was new. The is our second Cayenne and we love it. The diesel has over 700 miles in range and with the air flow seats it is so comfortable only bathroom breaks are necessary. We just took a road trip (5000 miles) and the car performed perfectly. Can't say enough good things about it. Worth every penny! We have now owned the car for three years and it has 35,000 miles. The car is as good as it was when it was new. We had the emissions adjusted to confirm but we were reimbursed for our inconvenience. The only negative is the cost of oil changes which ranges from $250 to $400 every 5,000 miles.

Have had many luxury SUV's (LR,BMW & MB); hands down the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is the best of the bunch. Still as solid as a rock! No issues. Gets 35 MPG on a Trip! Fit & Finish is great! After 5 years won't even consider selling it.

I bought my 2015 Cayenne Diesel used from the local Porsche dealership. Since the first day they have treated me like a king. I get a Porsche loaner whenever I need it while mine is being serviced. I have sat and waited while they do minor stuff and I am in and out. The service has been one of the best things about owning it. I feel I am treated the same way as someone who just put down $150k. The car itself is awesome in every respect except one. The gear changes combined with some lag at low speeds are a real pain. It is amazing to me that in a car this sophisticated something so basic is a real problem. Otherwise it is an incredible tourer. Tons of mid range power, quiet, comfortable economical and great to drive. The brakes are awesome too.

Have 45 K miles on my 2016 Porsche Cayenne. Completely pleased. Check up's tend to be more expensive than other cars but this car is worth every penny. Built like a tank, it is the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles. I tow several boats with it, drive in dirt fields, and fly down the interstate. LED headlights are some of the best I have seen and it drives like a sports car with confident handling.

Great vehicle! The turbo lag was corrected with the last ECU software update. The key is to buy good quality diesel fuel. Mine runs great on Costco diesel at $1.99 a gallon in Ky. Averages 32 MPG. Just pay attention to the servicing the vehicle. Change out the transfer case fluid every 30K miles. DIY, 30 minutes and $41. Buy a VW Toureg Dipstick. The car is a Toureg except with Porsche finishes, suspension and interior. So, VW parts are much cheaper as readily available. You do not have to be a mechanic to do maintenance on this car. The build quality is excellent. The court in CA ruled that the motor and drivetrain on the vehicle is good for 10 years and that includes the emissions. So a 2016 put into service in late 2016 is under warranty until late 2016. I was going to purchase an extended warranty and the dealership said why? You would be wasting your money. Porsche of America is contacting the owners of these vehicles and making offers to buy them back for resale. Go figure? There is a reason for that. $$$$

This is my 5th Cayenne and I have loved them all. The hybrid was a departure from my past but I have been super happy with it. For my driving style and where I live to work I constantly make my commute of 20 miles gas free. Much farther than the factory rating of 14. It’s such a great car I’m so lucky to be part of the hybrid crowd, HA The performance, build quality everything is superb. Not a day goes by that someone does not comment and that just makes it better.

When purchasing such a vehicle, you need to match your driving needs and expectations to the platform. The results with the Cayenne can be fantastic. The Cayenne handles unbelievably well for an SUV/CUV. The turning radius is likely the tightest I've ever experienced for a car, truck, or SUV. We ended up purchasing the e-hybrid because most of our driving is local (less than 50 miles) and the hybrid offers excellent overall MPG (~45 to 50 MPG) while still providing enough power and torque (along with the legendary Porsche handling) to make driving fun. This is our first hybrid and having previously owned a Tesla Model S, I can honestly say that the instrumentation in the e-hybrid Cayenne is comprehensive, logical, and very well thought out.

After exhaustive research, I was very excited to buy my very first Porsche. Ordered exactly what I wanted and was able to track on the boat from the factory. The first 5 months of ownership was great. The lime green brakes were very eye-catching. The mileage was great.. Based on my driving pattern, was able to get about 50mpg. The only complaint was a noticeable lag on acceleration when going from electric to gas when the battery was drained but that was not a big deal. Then at about month 6, the engine light came on for no reason. All the other gauges were fine and the car ran well. Brought it into the dealership for servicing. They ran their diagnostics and said that there was a valve that had to be tightened. They did that and the car ran ok for about a week then the engine light went on again. Brought it back in and they had to change out the valve. Got it back and then a week later, same thing again. Brought it back in again. This time, they had to change out the whole system there. So far, no problem there. However, tire got slashed one day at office by bored high schoolers walking through parking lot on way home from school. Called AAA. Come to find out that the hybrid do not have spare tire because there is no space secondary to battery. Then had to wait for flat-bed tow truck in deserted parking lot at night. Just something to keep in mind if you are researching cars these days. Porsche hybrids and their sport cars will not have spare tires. I have owned lexus, audi, mercedes...never have had this much trouble with a new car!! After having the car for a year, I have had no further problems. I plug in pretty consistently and, based on my driving habits, still get about 45-50mpg. There is a definite lag going from electric to gas. Knowing that, I turn off the electric mode purposefully when I know that I have to accelerate fast. It does not accelerate like my husband's Tesla but overall nice ride.

I have owned the car for about two years. Excellent quality build. Quality materials used inside, very luxurious. Sporty performance, no creeks, rattles or shakes. Quality in and out. Quality is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Engine is powerful, 520 to 570 hp.

My "other car" is a 2014 911 Turbo S, and I have to say it's hard to pick which car is more fun to drive on an ordinary day. The Cayenne is so comfortable, but the V-8 in this (in Sport Mode) is just a beast. I'm not sure I'd pay the $$ for a new one, but I got this used with 14K miles...the CPO warranty takes me to 100K miles. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a sports car, but need the size/convenience of an SUV.

I will NOT buy another new Porsche as they are all Turbos now. Only problem has been premature leather seat wear (quite common), sport exhaust corrosion and tail light delamination/quality concerns. Porsche addressed all free of charge to me replacing nearly $4,000 in parts under warranty. Otherwise no mechanical issues at all at 40,000 miles. Original tires near end of life. Otherwise incredibly reliable. Quality of parts just not there, especially when costs are considered. I will not keep it much longer as maintenance costs will simply be too high for what it is. Dealer wants $100 to mount one tire, $400 for an alignment, $350 for an oil change, $2,000 for a tune-up that consists of about $300 in parts. Brakes are multi-thousand dollar repairs per axle! Yet the quality of these parts are sub par to Japanese autos!!!! Is it fast and does it handle great? Yes. But, so do cars half the price that are much easier on the wallet to maintain.

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

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.

we orderd this car, Iam a huge porche fan. the infotanment system on this car ( not suv) is awfull. the weather only shows large cities, not curent location. no headlight washers, the VW and Audi varients have them. the traction system is awfull. the car drives in rear wheeel drive until it slips. no center or rear locker on the diesel or hybrid, weight savings. So this car was 88K and the dealer will not make a deal on a differnt car beacause of the restriction on diesel sale's. at this point i am so diapointed i am canceling my plans to upgrade my 2012 911 gts.

We repaired a 2016 Porsche that was purchased in the fall of 2015. This car has so many design flaws that a light hit to the rear end and the car should be totaled. It's engineering is so poor that they put the battery under the seat and access to exhaust required too much labor to include removal of a body panel. The seat just from a mediocre accident caused the rear passenger seats bolt that secures them to the floor break. Mind you the airbags did not even go off in this accident. That same tap to the rear caused a total of 4700.00 worth of mechanical damage due to the horror story of engineering. Take a pass on buying this it is going to be a Fix or Repair Daily vehicle. Being in the VW family should we have expected anything less?

This car is amazing. I bought a 2015 Cayenne S-EH and it is awesome. It rides like a cloud and the performance is amazing. It has over 400 Horsepower and the hybrid gives insant torque. It looks very nice and mine is very well specced. I would say that repair costs are a lot but thats something expected when you buy it. All porsche dealers treat you like a king and you feel very welcome their. I always get a new Loaner and its awesome that you dont need a 911 to feel special. I suggest getting the Cayenne used as CPO Cayennes with low miles can be had for around 50k which is half off MSRP.

i used to own X5 4.4, this cayenne is not the same level in terms of handling and comfort. It's just not worth the money at all.

I traded my Range Rover to get this car as I wanted a newer model and thought diesel would be an economical different approach as I also own Tesla Model S too well I have nothing but hated the car since the day I bought it I paid $90k as you know Porsche options can climb high from the base 60k price well I drove the car hoping to like it as much as I loved my Range Rover it has terrible turbo lag not comfortable ride like Rover anyways that aside then the dieselgate scandal erupted I am now stuck with a worthless car I have never watched my money go away before my eyes the dealerships will only offer me $45k for a car I bought a year ago for $90k I can now not go trade for the Range Rover I really want I am so pissed also the service sucks all dealerships feel like you are nothing because you don't own a 911 you wait 3 weeks for service appt and every 5k miles for diesel only 15k miles intervals for Range Rover diesels the $300 oil change is painful as you have no loaner and have to wait 8 hours in the dealership and this is true for more than one place because actually I have called multiple Pittsburgh dealers this is the answers I call Porsche North America customer service they said only thing they can do for me is giving me extended warranty which I originally bought at purchase they said they would note that and try to do better for me months later no calls I would never buy another Porsche again and I am so fed up I wish that they would give me an answer so I can get rid of this car I absolutely loathe!!!!

Purchased a 2015 used Porsche diesel and it’s way more than I expected. I LOVE the torque and handling. It’s the best SUV I have ever owned. Obviously, it has its quirks like any vehicle, but the quality is far superior to so many brands. It actually is the best car I ever had next to my 1984 Porsche 928, and my purchased new as a kid 1988 Pontiac Trans AM. Heck, it is an SUV and I am old now…

I came out of an older V8 Touareg that I bought new; loved it, but they don’t make ‘em like they used to. The Cayenne S does everything the Touareg did well only better. Very comfortable; excellent fit and finish; addictively good power and handling. It’s a sports car, it’s a people and stuff hauler, it’s a great long distance cruiser and it’s my office; very happy with my purchase.

Bought this cayenne as a cpo in 2018 and it has been the best vehicle you could ask for. No problems w/ car except porsche replaced the transfer case in warranty. 60000 miles i've driven it w/ no expense but dealer maint and tires. great car on road trips.

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.
