This is probably one of the most well focused reviews I've ever watched. Completely packed with relevant information, short to the point and beautifully presented. Well done and THUMBS UP!
Young Matt Watson! I'm not British, so I just came across Matt on his own channel a few years ago. Carwow. Didn't know he used to work for Auto Express
I like Matt he is normally very objective but I wish he and other reviewers would stop with the 'ugly' comments - its only a matter of opinion; I actually prefer the look of the early models - all other car companies have a front end 'signature' and Porsche is no exception.
I think the Cayenne I saw at my local dealership was assembled during the Oktoberfest because although the materials used in the interior were of an excellent quality they squeaked a lot more than in other porsche models
@@hej1383 so many issues, engine malfunction, liner came down, bad headlight module, water keeps leaking from the a/c. Drained like 7 times, oil leak, Transfer Case(replaced under warranty. Bad rear door lock, faulty fuel sensor. List goes on
@mustsilm city is called LEIPZIG, east germany. another clip on youtube shows the racetrack on the porsche leipzig plant. for sure, only the turbo bodywork looks like a real cayenne...
@hereistand2008 It`s not about being able to afford one. I was talking about wether you have experienced the sheer joy of driving a Porsche. The moment you turn the key you start smiling and the second you get out you`ll be sad, `cause you`d like to keep on going. You don`t buy a Porsche because it`s fast, or good looking, you buy it because every single meter you drive is like a happy and fun dream you`d never want to end. To know what I`m talking about you need to experience this yourself.
I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I'll leave you to make your own opinions about the new Cayenne's appearance. Apart from that, I think that Porsche is is heading down a good path. They have evolved from a sportscar company to a luxury company with a focus on performance. Ironically, they made the most significant breakthroughs in hybrid technology (918 Spyder), not Toyota. Now, they focus on being both fast and economical. I thought this was a fantastic review.
I've driven the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo and the handling is amazing compared to any other suv i have driven, but its not really necessary because no one takes there suv to the track. The new Range Rover super charged is much more practical and its insanely fast if you are concerned about performance and i think its much better looking. The new Cayenne body style is very nice but I really liked the 2009 body style its much more aggressive.
There are sooo many alternatives to what this car does. It's built for people with more money than sense and think driving a big, heavy 4X4 around a busy city is a good idea.
Great and thorough video, much better than some of the other lame excuses for car tests, this one tested 3 important aspects and showed of the range of this vastly improved car...now just to wait for the lottery win!!!
Have you ever seen the reliability scale of the Land Rover.. and a lot of people in Canada buy this Cayenne for it's performance on dry, and it's off road performance (snow). This is the ultimate SUV to buy, and if you ever get to drive one, you would understand why.
just receive a brochure and the options list! is this car coming with absolutely nothing on it standard! you pay extra for everything. i love it though, and still consider trading my 2010 RRS TDV8 for this Hybrid. waiting to see it live and take a test-drive before. then i will decide! it is a very tempting though against an X5 M or X6M. this one has something i like a lot, the rear seats can actually accommodate people for a long trip with those inclinable back rests.very attractive feature!
...i wonder what they do with the car they tesy an give to ppl to review....im sure there sold at a lower price an have like alot of miles.....or does porsche keep them???
I find the new design to be very nice. i like it far more than the old one. Range Rover is still the best in off-road driving capabilities, but i still think that Porsche manages a better on road handling with decent off road capabilities, its just perfect. now I don't know how reliable it actually is.
@TheEasyontheeyes yea thats partly true ;) but i think you have to seperate the porsche cars. i mean a porsche carrera turbo, gt2, gt3 can still play with ferraris and lamborghinis... but yes i can understand you :)
I gave this a test drive in the summer and was thoroughly disappointed with the German quality of Porsche. The price tag was outrageous as well. We chose a loaded-up E-Class.
I think reliability ratings have gotten significantly better for lots of car-makes that had bad reps, Land Rover included. The gap between most reliable and, say, #25 most reliable, is not that much any more. But I'll believe you about the Cayenne's fun-to-drive level, but it fails in utility for me.
Hi friends i am contemplating buying car ,can any one suggest which out of Audi Q 3 S, BMW 180 and Volvo V40 is more suitable for indian conditions is more suitable for indian conditions
@germanysbest89 Precise! Take the elegant front from the new Cayenne, and combine it whit the bombastic back from the old, and Porsche would have a smash hit!
He forgot the DIESEL! That's the best compromise between the hybrid and the S version ,huge torque for offroading ,high mpgs for city traveling! Best option for a normal person.
@Tony27nine yes indeed ..had a Cayenne 2006 sold it and bought a Landrover caz of fuel consumption...but still Landrover drinks much fuel but not like Porsche :)
@TheFreakyGames proper mate! Don't have those here in the usa :-( I'm actually a recent college grad and finally landed a good paying job. since I already have my small car paid off, definitely saving up for something nice :)
I'm sure the Cayenne is a great car to drive, but that's not the main reason to buy an SUV, is it? My XC90 is fun to drive too, and it has a lot more hauling capability (for people & stuff). And the last I heard, Land Rover's reliability has gotten a lot better.
I really like this guy's reviews. Very beautifully presented and comprehensive. I wish him great success.
well 10 years later hes one of the biggest car reviewers on youtube
@@hej1383 Not really. He have huge fans but no way ion the side of the best, it´s a funny british gizmo guy, that´s all

Got one of these babies (turbo) this past Saturday!! It is such a remarkably made vehicle!

That was a very nice review indeed, showing all 3 models etc. very good approach, giving the basic info you need - cool and thanks
how to make the cayenne to send all the power to the rear wheels??
excellent review on 3 different models.
Turbo
S
S Hybrid
too bad there's no Diesel and Base model review but anyway, the 3 are good enough
I think the Cayenne I saw at my local dealership was assembled during the Oktoberfest because although the materials used in the interior were of an excellent quality they squeaked a lot more than in other porsche models
EXCELLENT REVIEW, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW MATT!
And he did

the cayenne has never been ugly its always been beautiful and i love it
This guy is so much better than any of the other autoexpress presenters

one of best reviewers on earth
almost good as jermay clarckson :)
I ordered the diesel version a few months ago. The option prices are a killer. Even have to pay additional for any other colour than black.
Matt has come a long way
Yes

Is the CD changer still in the trunk? Do you still need to press a button on a nav. to turn on back up camera, even when your gear is in reverse?

at 0:43 is that night view camera in the middle? i took a loon onto the car web configurator, and there was nothing there about that.
@superfish554 why still watching videos about it and not going out to drive it?
Wow this is the best porsche out of all them the cayenne is so beautiful
Very informative review, while being fun to watch. Well done.
14 years ago!!
Matt was so young
Mat Wason on Auto Express
There are sooo many alternatives to what this car does.

Great Review - did he do the sideways himself ?.
Gd review, this guy knows what he is talking about. Well done.

How do you send 100 percent of the power to the rear wheels?

Can someone explain how to drift like from 1:11 to 1:24?? I don't think I will try but I just wanna know. Kinda curious!
You gotta see a yt vid on it
isn't matt reviewing in the carbuyer channel?
what makes him in this review?
the new front combined with the old back this would be perfect!
Hi Hand some,please review the 2013 diesel s v8,4.2.thanks for being great in your business vir
Matt, you are amazing!
i want to ask about the way to put all the power to the rear wheels?!!
great review ,simply mind blowing,eexcellent depiction of the reality of porsche breed
great review matt
I love this new look. I still think the older model is fugally though. I'll be ordering a panamera 4s and cayenne s together when I can.
Fantastic review!
is CarBuyer a division of Autoexpress?
Excellent review.
@abukarali4 That's weird, Mercedes doesn't do the S65 for 2012..
Does the Cayenne S sound better than the Turbo since the S doesn't have turbos?
This is a real review. Thanks
...i wonder what they do with the car they tesy an give to ppl to review....im sure there sold at a lower price an have like alot of miles.....or does porsche keep them???
I know LR has had that reputation, but don't the reliability surveys show a great improvement in the last few years?
very satisfied with the review.
I hope the PDK manages well offroad too :(
I love this model .
I find the new design to be very nice. i like it far more than the old one.
Range Rover is still the best in off-road driving capabilities, but i still think that Porsche manages a better on road handling with decent off road capabilities, its just perfect.
now I don't know how reliable it actually is.
Is Top Gear already review this car??
Matt you are here too
Is this Porsche Cayenne the same as the volkwagon>?
@TheEasyontheeyes
yea thats partly true ;) but i think you have to seperate the porsche cars. i mean a porsche carrera turbo, gt2, gt3 can still play with ferraris and lamborghinis... but yes i can understand you :)
Do you live in the phillippines?
This is much better than watching top gear.
I gave this a test drive in the summer and was thoroughly disappointed with the German quality of Porsche. The price tag was outrageous as well. We chose a loaded-up E-Class.
the front is absolutely outstanding, but I really think they should have kept the back from the old model
What city did you drive?
@deniskatashkentskiy Have you seen the Nissan Juke?
I think reliability ratings have gotten significantly better for lots of car-makes that had bad reps, Land Rover included. The gap between most reliable and, say, #25 most reliable, is not that much any more. But I'll believe you about the Cayenne's fun-to-drive level, but it fails in utility for me.
What about the Diesel version?
@NottinghamForest22 Absolutely 100% agree. Great minds think alike.
Hi friends i am contemplating buying car ,can any one suggest which out of Audi Q 3 S, BMW 180 and Volvo V40 is more suitable for indian conditions is more suitable for indian conditions
they shuold make a cayenne as an X6, at 5:48 u can see the front is amazing, and would look awesome with a back as the X6's
What's the soundtrack that starts in 3:30?
Very good question. The track interests me, too.
The best review!
Great review, very professional :)
yeah iknow u r
but what the porsche vid have to do with it
great review
nice review!
great job reviewing mate! and great editing and musics.
MUCH better than that Fat girl in autocar? (not sure but i think its autocar)
how much is this car plz reply in US CURRENCY
looks like fun on a damp track!
That's a fantastic compromise. If I had more money, and a family, this would be my first choice.
@RossEnzo the turbo model in 4.7 s
@germanysbest89
Precise! Take the elegant front from the new Cayenne, and combine it whit the bombastic back from the old, and Porsche would have a smash hit!
i like that while all other cars are getting heavier porsches are getting lighter across their entire range
@entuerkteynmnet You really think it's ugly? I love them, I would get this any day over an X5.
He forgot the DIESEL! That's the best compromise between the hybrid and the S version ,huge torque for offroading ,high mpgs for city traveling! Best option for a normal person.
You'd be surprised how used to the lights you would become after having one for a bit.
@Tony27nine yes indeed ..had a Cayenne 2006 sold it and bought a Landrover caz of fuel consumption...but still Landrover drinks much fuel but not like Porsche :)
@TheFreakyGames proper mate! Don't have those here in the usa :-( I'm actually a recent college grad and finally landed a good paying job. since I already have my small car paid off, definitely saving up for something nice :)
@kswole008 yeah it is a fun car but saving up for a Lancer or even better an impreza! Lets hope for the best + Good luck in your new job :)
i like how the older models rears looked better
@carGT222 Jou poes. that car is amazing. you just have to drive one to realise that.
I'm sure the Cayenne is a great car to drive, but that's not the main reason to buy an SUV, is it? My XC90 is fun to drive too, and it has a lot more hauling capability (for people & stuff). And the last I heard, Land Rover's reliability has gotten a lot better.
I have porsche cayenne turbo awesome suv
Ok, but did he have a porsche?
whoaa.. cayenne drift..! awesone :D
@superfish554 pics ? you know on youtube you are allowed to say anything
@kimjb95 I was looking to buy the Porsche Cayenne but when the Hyundai commercial appeared, I decided to buy the Hyundai i10 instead.
This or evoque?
my dad has a cayenne turbo and it will do 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. the thing is a rocket!
