2025 Porsche Cayenne Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Drives great but problems on brand new vehicle
After 2000 KM a rattling noise started, I thought it was just a slight rattle on a heat shield at low RPM, and was only intermittent. The throttle felt odd at times but I just attributed it to me not being accustomed to the transmission. By 2800 KM the rattling noise was very loud and heard all the time. Emergency brake sensor issue. First they blamed bad gas, problem continues after they drain gas and put in new gas. Also I have a 2014 ML63 that I fill up at all the same gas stations, no problems for almost 7 years. Took 3 months - They changed Motor, Turbos and Throttle Body. Told emergency brake sensor will arrive in 30 days. Now after 500KM of driving the rattling sound has returned intermittently and today was very loud, appointment at dealership tomorrow morning. Have owned this vehicle 6 months and only been able to drive it about 10 weeks.

Some nice upgrades
The 2024 Cayenne is beautiful. The upgrades make it more user friendly and easier to see what is on the side of you. UPDATE: I should have looked closer at online reviews before the purchase because I had chassis failure, ABS failure, PSM failure and several other failure indicator lights on the vehicle when it was a couple of months old. It went in for repairs and they were unsuccessful. The vehicle was in for over two months and they thought it was repaired. It seems that the dealerships diagnostics cannot detect the issue (s) and engineers from Germany are trying to assist with fixing these vehicles. I was surprised to see other owners reported experiencing the same defects and they either did not report fixes or the repairs were very different to solve the same issues. This was a bad purchase. Hopefully Porsche can find a fix and I noticed there are several 2024 Cayennes with very low mileage on the Internet for sale and it makes me wonder if the owners also hd these issues and are getting rid of them.

Definitely a sports car/SUV
This car handles great. Excellent acceleration. The car feels solid. The negative is when the air-conditioner is on high it is very loud. The touch screen is beautiful and vibrant. Super happy that Apple car play is now wireless. I have the Cayenne S and it definitely is faster than the base model. The brakes are better also.

Porsche made a car they don’t know how to service
My check engine light has been on more than off for first 6 months of ownership. While under warranty, certainly a reason to be concerned. Ultimately had to dispose of this terrible vehicle as I got no support from Porsche Exchange to fix it and found others with similar issues on this vehicle. DO NOT BUY

Frustrated - rear window seal
I ordered a 2024 Cayenne S in August of 2023 to replace a 2011 BMW X5d. Took delivery in Dec 2023. Pretty awesome vehicle - performance, technology, looks. While the technology is impressive, it takes a while (and two orientation visits) to get the hang of it, especially coming from a 2011 vehicle. Here's my big problem - the rear window seal. After a few months it began to pucker inward along the bottom edge with the seal edges pulling away from the glass and lift gate. It got progressively worse. So the dealer took it back and replaced the the seal (also had to replace the glass I guess). It took several weeks - a bit frustrating. Well here it is about 6 months later and the problem has recurred and is even worse than before. Supposedly it doesn't compromise the water seal but it is very unsightly. I contacted the dealer and they said it appears to be a problem with this model year (I looked a a couple older Cayennes around me and didn't see the prob). Presently there is no fix yet. For $130K I expect much better. If I'd known this was a problem, I wouldn't have taken delivery. Not sure what I am going to do. I guess I'll engage an attorney and see if I can get my money back.

Amazingly fun to drive
I have a 2021 base model Cayenne and This vehicle is unbelievable, it’s surprisingly fun to drive, I was pleasantly surprise how well it handles in all road condition, how quiet the interior is and the power and quickness. I came out of a 2016 BMW X6 and it’s not close to my Cayenne in all luxury and performance categories.

Night drama
2023 Porsche Cayanne Hybrid is a trauma for night time driving with NO backup lights to show the way on the screen. Instead the screen is is dark & shadowy during backing up at night. Very scary & dangerous.

The 2024 Cayenne S Coupe new Twin Turbo V8 + more
Awesome. Had it 6 weeks now including one long road trip. In 2024 Porsche made many performance and tech enhancements to the S Coupe. More advanced tech than previous years. The S Coupe is a big performance upgrade to the 2024 base model. New Twin Turbo V8, standard performance braking and performance suspension. In addition to "normal" driving mode it comes with "Sport" and "Sport Plus" which change the engine, transmission and suspension. Handling is great. Smooth ride with almost zero body roll per Car and Driver and I agree. Don't be intimidated by the high-tech features it is easy to use and powerful.

Nope. False advertising. Clunky old technology
Still cannot find a single feature that is better than BMW. The 2025 Cayenne is clunky at best. The advertised electric mileage is completely false (you get about 30miles on a full charge vs advertised 60), and charging time is over 4 hrs on 220V and over 14 hrs on 120V). Ambient lighting is an absolute joke, features are clunky, can’t even see song titles or change the station from steering wheel, very limited user controls, almost zero console room, no auto drive or parking, very loud fan noise, electric mode sounds like a vacuum cleaner, gas mode is way too loud inside vehicle. Lacking many many features that competitors have today. Would never recommend.

Sun glare
Car is fun to drive - though should have trusted my instincts and gone with the S. Considerable glare off of the center console on a sunny day. The sun screen isn’t very effective at preventing this. The sun visors could be improved upon as they don’t have the option of extending, which requires the driver to reposition the seating position. Solid and comfortable ride. No real wow to it.

Connected
I've wanted to own a Porsche for well over 25 years and finally ponied up and ordered a 2024 Cayenne base. I wasn't able to find a "stripped" down version on any lot in the US so I configured a base with premium plus package, heated steering wheel and sport chronograph. I worked with all 5 Houston area dealers and none were willing to give me their allocation for a Cayenne w a MSRP below $100K. I finally pleaded with the GM of my most local dealer and asked if he'd order my specific build code. The GM did provide the 2nd year maintenance and ceramic tint on 2 front doors gratis, which is great. After 5 months of waiting, with great updates on the MyPorsche app, it finally arrived. The Montego Blue Metallic did not disappoint, it's simply beautiful. I feel totally connected to the Porsche when driving it; to the road, engine HP, and PCM electronics. The ergonomics are fantastic. I don't consider my vehicle stripped at all, but most Cayenne's on the lot have special order rims / tires, interior, soft close doors, paint, etc, that add over $25K to the MSRP. I'm happy with the base rims, black leather interior w cooled seats, and the base doors close just fine. I've read some poor reviews on Cayenne's and was a bit concerned but after 3 months and 1,000 miles I have no problems or worries. The vehicle has great performance and handling. I was concerned with the transmission "selector" being on the dash but it was easy to get used to. The cargo area is great and my road bike fits great in there. I did order "weather tech" type floor and cargo mats as the factory mats are not very robust. I also bought after-market puddle lamps and installed them on all 4-doors. I must add that the front license plate is not practical so I opted out of mounting, per the dealers recommendation. The plate gets in the way of the auto-parking sensors and looks out of place, so mine's in the glove box for now. Another surprise is I've averaged over 21 MPG to date. I have been over 100 MPH several times so am pleased w the performance and fuel economy. Bottom line is I don't think I'll own another brand vehicle again, Porsche for me.

Poor quality for a 100k car
The adaptive cruise control system suddenly stopped working, the dealer fixed it under warranty. 7 days later it stopped working again for no reason. There is no regular cruise control function available when the ACC is not working, which means you cannot set a fixed speed driving on the highway, very annoying. I cannot believe how poor the design and quality it is. I would never buy a Porsche again.

I totaled my 2021 Cayenne due to its design change
The 2021 Cayenne took P off the gear shift, driving 30+ years with always push the gear shift forward to P to parking including my traded in 2014 Cayenne. My muscle memory kicked in after I turn off engine, caused car roll down my driveway to hit a tree

Switch to SUV from 750ix
Switch from 750 to a Porsche Cayenne CPO by Porsche therefore comes with a 4 years warranty with options last summer from Vancouver Porsche Center.. It's different in so many ways from a luxury Sedan to a luxury SUV. Getting in and out of a SUV is easier, visibility is great, power on a 3.0 liter is adequate. Options are more Cosmetics, red leather interior, twin pipe exhaust tips. Glass roof. I have put on almost 5k km so far, on mix way and city, fuel economy is within forecast, on high way, I have gotten as low as 10l/100km in the city 13.5l/100km. Comfort is good and not as soft as my previous 750ix. Which was loaded with all sorts of options. I do miss the Heads up indicators projected on the windshield. So far it's been great, went back to complaint about the jerky shift in gears especially gearing down, the dealer reset and re programmed the transmission and it shifts smoothly now and no further concerns. Waiting to see how this SUV handles in the Winter this year, it comes with the option 21 in rims and Pirelli all season(offset) size. It's about 70% left on the thread, been looking at tires replacements but election is limited for its size. May go with Continental DWS plus which was great on the 750ix. Wishing by the time I have to replace them some tire manufacturer will offer all Weather tires which is ideal in Vancouver.
My Every day Transport
Owned it for 1+ years now, bought under Porsche Pre owned warranty @ 11,000km on the odo..good to 2027 Solid car, had gone for its first minor service, which is pricy >C$800.00 at Porsche dealer.. the next big service is estimated to be >C$2,800.00. If you can afford the upkeeps... it's a great car. Last mild winter in Vancouver, B.C. it had no issues plowing through snow and slushes in the back lanes, side streets or on the highway. Oddly there is NO Snow/icy settings for driving conditions. On Highway I get 10.5liter for 100km and city driving @. 13.5 L/100km. 21inch rims and tires OEM Pirelli tracks well on wet and dry roads.

Fun car to drive!
I have the 2022 Cayenne Platinum Edition and just love it. Custom picked all the options and then waited 8 months to get it. Worth it. No problems whatsoever yet. It can be hard on gas but then I do drive it like a sports car.

First Porsche - Cayenne S
The engineering, finishes, and V8 make this vehicle magnificent! It makes me smile every time I get in it and the smooth, low growl of the engine makes my smile even bigger. I have now had it for 9 months and there has not been one single issue or hiccup with this vehicle. Yes, it cost $$$$, but it is on an entirely different plane of quality, technology, and drivability than any of my previous cars.

Porsche Cayenne Coupe 2024
I just purchased a certified Cayenne with 6,000 miles. Sold my base 2019 Porsche Macan for a great price. I needed a bit more interior space and just a little more horsepower. This Cayenne is a huge upgrade. The 6 cylinders engine delivers smooth acceleration and when you dial in sport mode or sport plus , the difference is definitely palpable. Roomier and more capable. Just what I was looking for!
