Worthy of the High Price Tag? | 2024 Porsche Cayenne S Review

On this edition of Jalopink Reviews, is the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S worthy of the high price tag? The V8 engine returns to the luxury crossover SUV.

#porsche #porschecayenne #review

If you can afford the high price tag, the Porsche Cayenne is one of the best luxury SUVs you can buy. It offers a rare combination of sporty and fun-to-drive while still being comfortable and quiet, and the Cayenne S might be the best of the bunch. With a 4.0-liter V8 making 468 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, you’re never going to be short on power. One of the biggest downsides, though, is that it’s only rated at 17 mpg combined. If that’s a problem for you, then perhaps you’ll want to consider the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.

Opting for the Cayenne S E-Hybrid means giving up the non-hybrid’s V8, but that doesn’t mean it’s down on power. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 makes 348 hp but is paired with a 174-hp electric motor that gives the E-Hybrid a system total of 512 hp. According to Porsche, it will hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat. That makes it ever so slightly quicker than the regular Cayenne S.

Great review! Wondering, does this car have PDCC?

Thanks for the review! Great Job!
I recently test drove the 2024 Cayenne S and it is just an amazing machine, the transmission, the way it handles, and the sound of the Performace exhaust option, is just a dream. I test drove the GLE 63s and even though its much faster, its doesn't handle as well or overall ( In my opinion ) feel as well built and stable on road in terms as feeling connected to the car and rode, as the Cayenne S. Is the Cayenne S expensive?, yes, with the options the price can balloon up quickly! However, I would pick this over the Mercedes GLE 63, anyday, its not all about the Horse power of the car. My only problem is trying to decide wether, to choose the Cayenne Coupe or the SUV... One thing I dislike about the Cayenne Coupe, is that you can't not open the Panoramic roof .. that maybe the deal breaker for me on the Coupe, ., it's so nice to open that sunroof. Lastly, looking at the Coupe and SUV, they both looks so damn good! hard choice.

Sun roof is a free option in my country, is it not free in the US?

Can I custom order one that has VDO gauges ?

It weighs less than my x7 so yes it’s worth it. My Subaru Ascent wishes it had this power but that’s the everyday family car.

$132k for a Cayenne S?! Porsche has been pricing everything thru the roof. I bought my GTS ~10 years ago and it was $90k with a discount!

This vehicle doesn't need a sunroof.
