Say hello to the new Porsche Cayenne!

Porsche’s flagship SUV has had a mid-life facelift, and Mat’s about to see just what’s changed compared to the previous edition, while also seeing if it can compete with market leaders such as the BMW X5.

When it comes to the design, it’s not overly different to the previous generation, given it’s only a mid-life facelift. Around the back, you’ll find a thinner full-length light bar, along with some updated exhaust designs. Alloy wheels now start at 20 inches instead of 19, rising up to 22 inches. But step around the front and this is where the biggest design changes can be found. There’s an all-new bonnet with creases sweeping along the front, along with an all-new bumper and grille, flanked by thinner Matrix LED headlights. All things considered, it looks pretty smart!

Step inside and the traditional Porsche quality is clear to see. There’s leather throughout the cabin (although this car does have the extended leather package added!), and everything feels well-built and sturdy. There’s a fully redesigned centre console, and thankfully Porsche has retained the physical climate control buttons. There’s a fully redesigned digital dial display, and a large infotainment screen which is pretty easy to use. This edition also comes with a third screen for the front seat passenger built into the dash!

There are a load of engine choices available. If you’re keeping it petrol-only, you can pick up the Cayenne S with either a 3-litre V6 with 353hp or a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 474hp. If you want a plug-in hybrid, two options come with the 3-litre V6 and an electric motor to deliver 470hp or 519hp. The range-topper is the Cayenne Turbo, which combined the 4-litre V8 with an electric motor to put down 739hp.

There’s only a slight issue though - it’s not cheap! The entry-level Cayenne starts at around £70,000, easily rising to over £100,000 for the range-topper with a couple of options added! So is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

    Car manufacturers: I will put a special film in the passenger display so the driver can not see it. Also, car manufacturers: I will put 3 displays and move every single important and frequently used function inside a menu in that display so the driver has to look at those displays while driving. 🤪

    11:11 the poor crew member in the back ground cleaning up Mat's water mess from the dash is truly hilarious
  • @jocazaba
    Those wheels are criminal 💀
  • @davidgillham6847
    It's unbelievable how expensive cars have become, people really need to stop buying them at these over inflated prices, it's just nuts!
  • @farzadjahanfard
    How a company can design 911 and this at the same time its crazy
  • Porsche didn’t like all the positivity around last week’s X5 review 😂
  • @dabmanplz1451
    1:52 "Completely redesigned front bumper" proceeds to look exactly the same
  • @malickn538
    You're definitely not getting your moneys worth for £101k. Soo many missing features at that price.
  • @GrandSil90
    The costs cutting on this £101K car is actually mind fucking blowing. What the hell is Porsche doing?
  • @dinckelman
    The fact that you can get a horrible plastic dash on a 100k+ euro car is absolutely mental
  • @ComeJesusChrist
    £100k for an SUV with plastic dashboard and manually adjustable steering column that looks like an earlier version that can be picked up for a few thousand pounds?!
  • @kannasai3998
    Me watching with less than 3000$ in bank account
  • Anyone else get annoyed on behalf of the Deddington residents when Mat does his turning circle test lol
  • @ThrottleBody
    For me the x5 and cayenne are top of the tree in this class. The big issue is Porsche and their options list 😭 you end up spending 10k minimum on top of the asking price just to get an average spec
  • Been waiting 9 months for this face lift review, thx matt! Pls do the Cayenne S E hybrid coupe also, cheers!
  • @ElixoYT
    Lol the guy cleaning up your mess at 11:10 in the front seats😆

    When you drag race the cars, you must include the crossing speed at the end of the race as well. Not all cars reach the same speed when they cross the line. With times the loosing car reach a much higher crossing speed.
