2019 Porsche Cayenne S and Turbo Review

The all-new Porsche Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo are finally arriving in North America. These new models are built on the third-generation Cayenne platform that is slightly larger than the last model but lighter and with more power.The Porsche Cayenne has been out for 16 years, this 5-passenger utility vehicle has the perfect balance of space, power, design and prestige to make it one of the best, if not the best utility on the road. The base Cayenne with a 3.0L turbo V6 putting out 334hp, Cayenne S with a 2.9L Turbo V6 with 443hp or the Cayenne Turbo with a 541hp 4.0L turbo V8.
The design of the all-new 2019 Porsche Cayenne isn't radical, in fact it is a rather basic change from the last model. It has grown ever so slightly in length and wheelbase but from the front it looks similar. The back is the most distinct with a new light bar that connect the two rear cluster lamps, similar the Panamera and a reference to older Carrera models. The interior now has a 12.3-inch centre screen and two TFT screens behind the steering wheel but the overall design remains the same.

Thanks for the review Zack. As a Porsche owner, I’ve been invited to their Winter Experience more than a few times. I’d LOVE to go....however that (3 day!) course is more than I would like typically spend on Vacations with my whole family for the whole Summer. That aside ... I love it this Porsche and thanks for the video on one our (Quebec) coldest Winters, in a while.

The tires used(Nokian Hakkapelitia studded) is great. I have had several generations of them. Great grip on snow and ice. They have a traditions of always winning tire tests in Sweden.

Great review. "Turbo is an expensive proposition."

I see so many Canadians driving Porsches, especially Cayennes and Macans.

I was looking at the base model. Are any of the performance options necessary? I’m assuming the base drives just fine without them as a daily driver correct?

[greyphantome]

Realworld practical review, thanks
Can you also do a detailed review of the base ?

[ihci]

so does it come with the check engine light on?

[DigitalPowerShot]

Cool as usual! Greetings from Austria! (base Cayenne 2018 with turbo options)

[frenchvanilla]

Should I get the Cayenne or the Panamera? How is the Panamera in the snow?

[danI]

What a lovey car! It’s the best in class..
Can you do a video on your personal car(s)? That’d be cool

[natehiger]

A brand new Cayenne with check engine light on?

Hey Zack, i'm clicking off if it's NOT you reviewing a Porsche/Audi/ VW product. I know how much you love them and I want you and Andrea's take! I share your love and passion for the VAG umbrella of products. Thank you for making this one, it's pretty comprehensive and some great feedback on the driving experience across the trim line. Would like to see you and Andrea review the Q8! Keep up the great work!

I have a question, how do you turn on the car?!?!?! There’s no button.

[netcruzer]

1:33 why is there a CEL on the Turbo? LOL

[justrandomthings]

5:08 That's not a very reassuring remark. You are saying it has the resolution clarity of a phone display from six years ago.

[nstv]

what's usually a lease payment on a fully loaded turbo. I am guessing around 160k US dollars ? Anyone ??

[dxlink]

The front rotors look like they have a nasty cut in the middle... Also nice CEL

[tenman]

For similar prices is the Porsche Cayenne better than the BMW X5?

[kevinzeng]

Should also mention that the Cayenne S has PASM and also much bigger brakes and rotors compared to the base Cayenne

I like your reviews and am a subscriber, but I'd rather that -- when you are talking and driving -- you have the camera show the instrument panel and the view out the front instead of seeing you (no offense)...
