The original Porsche Cayenne, as conflicting and divisive of a product it was, proved to be a massive sales success. It wasn’t particularly good looking (the facelift changed that), it felt heavy to drive and the cabin was a far cry from being exquisite.
While the second-generation model brought commendable improvements to the table, it was quickly supplemented with the smaller Macan, thus detracting the Cayenne’s proposition of the sole SUV in Porsche’s line-up. All things considered, both models did favourably well, racking up sales in countries like the US and China.
With the latest Cayenne, Porsche is holding nothing back in terms of creature comforts and performance, although the same can’t quite be said for the exterior design. That’s subjective, of course, and to each their own. Nevertheless, third time seems to be the charm – the new Cayenne is impressive on all accounts, especially in the driving department.
This particular Cayenne S is powered by a 2.9 litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, producing 440 PS at 5,700 to 6,600 rpm and 550 Nm at 1,800 to 5,500 rpm. That’s more power than the older Cayenne S, which originally had a 4.8 litre petrol V8 that makes 400 PS, before the being replaced by a 420 PS 3.6 litre twin-turbo V6 in the mid-life update. Power is sent to all four wheels (the E3 Cayenne gets active all-wheel drive system as standard) through an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.
It’s also full of electronic driving aids, easily making it the most advanced Cayenne ever produced. But just how well do they work in unison? Find out in this review, and don’t forget to leave a comment! Also, happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

0-100 dash … proton x70 0-100 will beat it … With voice command can close the window faster at toll
But Proton Voice Command caused the X70 to masuk parit…..everybody also got shocked.
Owner said, Proton Please Wind Right Window Up……then masuk parit!
If this happened, it would be on front page news. Too bad it only happened in ur lalaland. Go back to sleep.
in bolehland, X70 highbeam any Porsche anytime
Even Facebook is working towards actively banning accounts that spreads fake news. I think it’s high time Paul Tan to implement such policies so we as commenters can have peace of mind without such trolling and lies being repeated over and over.
These fake stories sure are rotten. There isn’t an ounce of truth in the whole bunch. What bilge.
Who do you think is stupid enough to read and believe this trash?
“Best one yet” even Matthew H Tong admit that this game changing SUV is da best! Habisla X70!
great work comparing the X70 with a Cayenne. next, you shud compare the Panamera to the Vios…
Copy paste:
“How many “how cool is that?”?
“Haf: This is the best car period”. “Harv: Would u still buy the P1 without the price advantage? Haf: Definitely, without a doubt”.
“Haf: Would u still buy the P1? Matt: Yeah, I would still buy the P1. Harv: Yeah, no brainer, P1!”
Loud and clear, my dear PT team. LOUD AND CLEAR!!!
P1, Geely, Mesidis, VolvoCar, VolvoTrucks, Lotus > all”
This is how jaguh kampung think. They think their Proton is on par with Porsche
This is why Proton never improve all these years. Because from beginning they thought their car same as BMW
Only one person is comparing Proton with BMW and you can see his comment under, YB Kunta Kinte on Feb 01, 2019 at 5:57 pm @ this article “G11/G12 BMW 7 Series LCI plug-in hybrid variants detailed – new inline-six base engine, larger battery”
Does it mean this YB Kunta Kinte is the jaguh kampung?
Basher = jaguh kampung
Lolz!
No logic. This car only USD60k (RM240k)
How it becomes RM950k is beyond me. I think Sime Darby need to make extra profit to pay the fat bonus their lazy GLC workers demand
The last generation Cayenne was USD59k. The car was sold in Malaysia for RM635k officially.
This generation Cayenne is USD60k. The car is sold in Malaysia for RM925k
Currency also same as 8 years ago.
I think SDAC is very very greedy!
Why not? People still buys them at this prices. Stop complaining if you’re poor.
With the spec that the car comes in Malaysia it would be a US$75,000 car in the US which is Rm307,000
Now add 30% import duty, 105% excise duty, 10% sales tax and however much an AP costs these days and that’s why a base Cayenne here costs Rm745,000
Many Proton fanboys say why spend RM925k for this when you can spend RM123k for a Proton X70?
They claim Proton X70 got AMG Technology from Mercedes. They say this because Geely owns 10% of Mercedes AG Germany.
Aiyooooo shocking lah. If like that nobody will buy Mercedes, Volvo and Porsche lah!!!!!
Nobody said that except you. Stop dreaming.
Porsche got no RV. Brand new with options is RM1 million. 2 years later become RM300k
Better I wait and buy 2nd hand
