  • It’s been almost 9 months since Todd upgraded his wife’s daily and their family car, to a 2017 Porsche Cayenne eHybrid. In this update he revisits their search, and the adventures and experience that have happened since. Expensive tires, real MPG, and running costs all get discussed and we look forward to lots more in this on-going series.

    We sold our Kia Telluride a couple of years ago (due to poor towing performance) and got a 2017 Cayenne S (twin turbo V6). Non-air ride suspension. We LOVE this car! It's amazing how quick and how well it handles for such a big car/SUV. Does pretty decent on gas milage as well, but not as good as your e-hybrid. Strongly considered one of those when I purchased mine, but was nervous about potentially Very Costly repairs to the e-hybrid system/battery....

      ​​@@lietuvis96it's hard to find a decently spec'd diesel and even if you do in the north American market you immediately have to drop $2,500 into them for a high pressure fuel pump upgrade and a tune because they were designed for European diesel which provides greater lubricity, the pumps are known to catastrophically fail running on US diesel and take the engine with them.

    Back in April I bought a 2016 Cayenne S with similar mileage. (the TTv6 not the hybrid) I probably average 17-19mpg (maybe 22-23 on long road trips). Its versatility is really amazing, I’ve driven aggressively on small California backroads, and pulled a 24 foot airstream across the county with all of my worldly belongings in the back. I’ve driven it on two 2400 mile roads as well. It just does everything without drama. Great cars.

    I recently purchased a 2016 Cayenne Turbo. Thc car was certified and came with new tires and brakes. I'm amazed a vehicle with 80k miles looks and drives like a new car. 18 way seats, sport chrono, heated and cooled everything and even has sport design package. It even has soft close doors. Original MSRP was 135k. I got it for 44K. I feel like it's a steal considering it's under warranty for 2 years.

    Our factory ordered 2015 Q7 TDi was recently written off 😢 and we’ve been looking at practically everything since last summer.
    Well we found it and bought it, a 2018 cayenne s e-hybrid platinum edition with only 48,000 km. The great part of this deal is we bought from a Porsche dealership with 2 years unlimited kilometres. So as I’ve read in the comments, if the sunroof leaks or the battery dies or whatever happens outside of regular maintenance we’re covered.

    Our family hauler is a 2017 volvo xc90 with 75k miles but not PHEV. White with black/tan interior. Bought it last year for $25k. We're averaging about 23mph.
    Thanks for the tip about the Vredestein tires. In our year of ownership for our 2017 volvo xc90 weve spent about $2k to replace all four of the brake calipers, rotors.
    We also own at 2010 vovlo xc60 which my daughter drives most of the time.
    We love our volvos! It will be interesting to see how it compares to your Cayanne over the years of ownership. Cheers!

    I have the Touareg Hybrid with the same stuff. My wife uses it as her commuter. Has plenty of power and can tow my GTI just fine to the track. I have a 160k on it and besides the basic maintenance that I keep up on nothing is really needed. Not a bad idea to invest into a OBD11 as the cayenne and Touareg use an Audi Engine and it’s good for resetting things and for knowing when codes come up.

    2017 is right in that UI sweet spot for the Cayenne with all the buttons on the console and CarPlay on the touchscreen. A year prior you wouldn't get CarPlay and in 2019 the buttons were reduced in the revised interior. Mine's a 2017, as well, and it's tried to kill me financially but when it's not trying to ruin me it's a great drive. Thanks for the tire suggestion, as well, there aren't a tremendous number of options at that size.

    I'm all for the off-road Cayenne build. Yes! If I was building an overland rig (which I'm not), an early Cayenne would be my 2nd choice. First choice is a first-gen Durango, because I have a lot of experience with that Dak/Dur platform. Obviously a Cayenne will never match the sheer aftermarket breadth of Jeeps and Toyotas. But, I think with tires and light armor, maybe diff upgrades if the need arises, a Cayenne should be capable of anything a reasonable human being might ask of it off-road.

The consumption is really bad, it takes about 12l /100km in town and about 15l on the way (160-170 km/h in Czechia). I’m also using very often a 958.2 3.0 diesel from work, and this a great car.

    I've driven a few of these as loaners from the dealer. Honestly I don't find them all that enticing. You get a lot of additional complication for very little benefit. The Cayenne Turbo out performs it easily and doesn't really get that worse MPG. The Cayenne diesel, which we have, drives basically the same and gets far better MPG's. My wife averages around 28mpg in ours. We bought ours with 18k miles on it and it has close to 110k on it now. It's cost us basically nothing out of pocket, just normal maintenance like brakes, tires, etc.

    All weather tyres for me are just the worst tyres you can have for both seasons. I was tempted, I bought one set and in the middle of the second winter I get them out. Very very fresh set kind of work in the winter 10-15k later they are just useless! You dont really feel confident in the summer as well, although if you not push hard in the corners are OK. AWT might be good for people that drive really low mileage and live in a very specific climate with no heavy winter but mild summer as well.
    Do yourself a favour by proper tyres for the season as those few meters stopping distance and those few miles later aquaplaning could be the line between life and death!

    The seats on the first generation Cayenne (957 at least) did, in fact, fold flat. I’m wondering whether you simply did not lift the seat bottoms forward.

    • @EverydayDriver
      @EverydayDriver  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Todd has many videos on the first Gen Cayenne. Yes, the seats fold flat in the awkward two step process of folding the bottoms forward and then dropping the back. The second Gen fold flat in one modern motion, which was the basis of the comments here. Thanks for watching.

    Somehow I got unsubbed, so now I'm catching up. We bought a 2017 VW Touareg Wolfsburg 3.6 feb 2021 thankfully for 31k with 37k miles which as you know is the very very similar sibling including the maintenance cost when we lived in Colorado and shortly was moved due to work to mid Tn. But this car is unreasonably well built and it's so shocking when I get to drive it coming from my cheaper Vw commuter it's a wonderful car to own and pile the miles on. It's one of the nicest cars I think we've ever owned besides an older Infiniti M35x we had its very far up there and to drive also. My biggest grip with it after 3 years is the body roll on a back road, I certainly wish it had the air suspension and lastly the power its plenty and very decent around town but on the highway it could used some more. Her commute was 4-6 miles roundtrip when we 1st moved so mpg was 15 if we were lucky depending on the season, now it hovers in the 18-19 and highway we usually get 22.5-24. All we've done in its time with us is a leaky water pump right after we bought so it was under warranty still, brakes and tires at 65k, and basic maintenance with the mileage at 77k. I'm definitely eyeballing a current gen CPO Cayenne S/SE-Hybrid for replacement in the next few years or for the newer roadtrip car at least, maybe an Audi Q8 or SQ8. It's good to see nothing major has popped up yet with yours to show its reliability with its age, only major issue I see is a battery or expensive module to replace on it. Almost forgot we currently have a leak I think is coming from the Panoramic Sunroof or drain, so watch out around the passenger side floorboard.

    There is a reason this was so cheap. It’s going to murder you when you get your first real repair.
    When I saw that low profile tire I knew you’d be flatting. My last two cars were luxury low profile and I won’t drive them anymore. 35 profile tires in my state (New York) basically guarantee losing a tire or wheel each year.
    I had two significant repairs with a Volvo PHEV under warranty. I know it’s not a Porsche but owning a used luxury PHEV I hope you have a heloc ready to go when it breaks.

      There’s a variable for where you live and how you drive. We live and drive at 6,500 feet with little steady state commute driving. Lots of hills and hard driving - and every car we’ve owned gets significantly lower MPG than standard as a result. We have no doubt that other ehybrid owners do better than us. Thanks for watching.

    All weather tires are neither very good summer tires nor very good winter tires and they have a reputation for wearing out sooner than most tires. In a place like Utah, the “summer tires” should be all seasons anyway and should be replaced with winter tires below 45F/7C

      The whole point of it locking is because bad people can unplug your car or damage the port while you're at a public charger but away from the car. Maybe it's a bit moot being a plug-in, but imagine in an EV you get lunch while your car around the corner is supposed to be charging, but someone pulled it out and you stay there for an hour to come back to a car still empty.

    • @davidwalker72
      @davidwalker72 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@scott8919 I get the point, but this should be something you can toggle or location based. My Bolt ev can't lock the handle in, but you can set it so the alarm will go off if you unplug. Great if you use your own charger in public. For a PHEV it's only a minor annoyance to be unplugged because they have a gas motor to get where ever in that case. More annoying to have to press unlock on a fob every time you leave your home than it is to have someone maybe unplug your car while grabbing a coffee.

    I have a 2012 cayenne with the ancient 3.6 vr6 engine and am able to average 21 mpg (I did install new coils and plugs). I hope you did not buy this for better MPG. Because the Diesel would put this to shame not to mention the far better reliability of the diesel. I see those hybrid Porsches at the dealer auction for pennies on the dollar. Hope it won't bite you in the rear. This is not a car to keep long term. Sell it while you can. I truly don't understand how people drive that model, the switch between gas and hybrid is horrendous.

      I don't know which one you drove, but both of mine go between gas and electric so smoothly that it's hard to tell when it switches. Much smoother than a shift for example. Also, on my commute I went from 12mpg in Touareg to 23 MPG in the E-Hybrid without plugging in. Diesels are not allowed in ULEZ zones. There must be a reason.

The point of the hybrid is for added performance which I understand. However when that shit breaks, you and the other 5 people who bought the environmentally correct Cayenne. Will realize the 10% better mpgs goes up in smoke real quick. Yes, I drove a Panamera with the hybrid system and I thought it was garbage. Just my opinion.
