Glad to hear it! These seem to be a lot more reliable than the first generation, and clearly there's a lot of interest in it since this video has exploded in views over the past few months.
I used to own a white one in 2016 and kept it for 4 years but sold it for personal reasons, I'm not sure if I will afford one in the future, but truely miss the days with her. Super realiable and comfortable, I drove it to cities like NYC, Chicago, Toronto and as far as Ottawa, Canada.

Always always recommend friends and people this vehicle.
I hear a lot of controversy over reliability and maintenance since it’s a Porsche. I really want a 2nd Gen (11-18) cayenne but I’m scared of repair costs or breaking down. I drive a lot and I’d wanna maybe use it on more than just some easy highways. Could you describe more on how you treated the car that got you good reliability? Or how you think mine would hold up?
@@ariahs9428 Yes, try to find 17 or later models cuz it has carplay. My friend had a 12 model and I didn't like its steeling, buttons started to wearing off and hard to press.

I’m glad to hear that yours is working out well for you. I’ve always been worried about the overall reliability of these, but it seems these are pretty decent overall.
I have 2 x cayenne S 4.2 liter V8 biturbodiesels, both are from 2014 and are super reliable. I have them 3 years now. No major costs till this day. And i do a lot of km. Both do about 28-30mpg in variable driving situation
I got the S model (2015) last year and I totally love it! It’s very true what you said, the value for money is incredible, reliable sporty and a workhorse I even may say! Thanks
Thanks for sharing! We've had a lot of views on this recently, it seems to have hit that sweet spot where people are starting to pick these up in the used market. Enjoy yours!
I recall back in the day when my boss (one of my bosses I should say) got the 2004 V8 (S) & I had the pleasure of having to take it in for service, all I can remember (besides it always going into the shop for something) was how powerful & tight it felt, I was really impressed with it's performance! Great review & that puppy you were sportn' is awesome even though it's got a VW V6 engine. Gotta love the pano- roof & the seats look very supportive & comfy! My only complaint is all them switches (and of course as you mentioned the tiny infotainment screen)!...CHEERS!
Thanks for sharing! 2004 was the model year I first drove also. I don't think I'd want to buy one of those today, but I'd definitely want to try one out again just for nostalgia sake.
I have a 2015 base model diesel and could not agree more with your video. Mine has 130,000 km and it looks almost brand new. Not one squeak or rattle. The engine is a perfect mix of performance and economy. The infotainment is starting to date a little though.
I’m looking to buy a 2015 cayenne diesel! You’ve had no problems? How is the acceleration? I only got to test drive one for a short period on the streets without really getting a feel for the engine. I feel like it’d be fast if pushed but wasn’t sure. How base model is yours btw? I’m debating some features and if they’ll be worth it . Would love to hear more about your ownership experience
@@prabeeshsidhu go for the Diesel. Almost 580 newton/m torque at 2,500rpm you will enjoy it. It definitely push harder than the 3,6 engine due to the turbo. Fuel economy is awesome ! Reliable and robust. I couldn’t be happier
You can scoop one of these up for mid to high $30ks USD. Not a bad deal. However, even though it’s a Porsche, I still would’ve opted for the mid grade engine the “S”, to get 420 hp. Great video Nile!
I hear ya, I think that’s the engine most people ultimately went with. I was surprised how many newer Cayenne and Macans I saw out here during my week with this, and pretty much all of them were the ‘S’.
The engine in the S/GTS is an absolute beast and not that anybody buying it really cares but its surprisingly good on gas. This turbo V6 is also reliable and easier to work on than the older V8’s.
I tell ya one thing, I love the 3.6L VR6 in my 08 Passat 4Motion wagon thats for sure... it can be reasonable on fuel if you can manage to hypermile some which isn't easy because that engine sounds sooo good when you drive it hard.
I think doing a lot more highway driving would have been good for me, unfortunately I end up doing a lot of in-town stuff now. The plug-in would be great!
The two things that make a Cayenne such a good choice for me are that A, my aunt has had them my whole life and so my dad and I have done a lot of the general repair work for her and because of that I'm comfortable doing all the general maintenance myself. And B, arguably more important, I live in LA and my family has driven german cars since 1952, volkswagens, bmw's, audi's, porche's. This means that our favorite family mechanic is naturally a german specialist and as such any more intensive repairs the car may need, ie those I have neither the skill nor patience to perform, will be easily seen to.
I have a 2016 base and yes it drives great but always little problems that end up costing thousands and if you’re thinking of buying one get the highest trim possible it really is slow
I had a friend buy one of these new. She’s exactly who you’d expect to own one, successful woman lol. The steering although direct is super dumb, but that’s all cars now a days. Just would’ve like more feed back like their sports cars. The Cayenne is great for road trips, super comfortable for all the passengers. They’re great but I’d certainly worry about out of warranty repairs

Warranties are always good as long as you understand what is and isn't covered.

We've heard from a lot of recent buyers who love them, and appreciate our review of a used one. Hope you find one that works out for you !
I guarantee if backup cameras hadn't been legally mandated as standard tech, the luxury brands like Porsche would still be charing customers for it today.
If you do a lot of highway driving the diesel will be the most economical in terms of fuel efficiency. However it depends on the price of diesel versus gas wherever you are. For example regular fuel here in Ontario is about $1.32/L, whereas diesel is about $2.04/L. I would have bought a diesel about 4 years ago, but not anymore due to the cost of fuel.
I’m seeing conflicting info online does anyone know what the towing capacity is for this exact year and spec? Is it really 7,700lbs in the non turbo? Wow.
Unfortunately I can’t say for certain, typically I find that towing ratings are slightly higher for European-spec vehicles versus US/North American ones.
I mean, reliable as any other 9 year old Porsche will be. It'll cost more to service this vehicle than even the Audi or VW equivalent, so you need to budget in for that.
Does the base engine provide enough power? I feel like it wouldn’t be the quickest to overtake or speed up on the highway. I’m debating if the S engine with 420hp is worth the fuel mileage. I think the diesel is the best of both worlds but the hardest to find in the used market!
I didn't have any issues getting onto the highway or passing slower traffic, I'd probably go with the S though, I just finished filming a 2018 Macan S and the difference in the engine to weight ratio performance was noticeable.
@@gilgonzalez5902 I would be going for the S if I do buy the petrol version. I still am looking for a diesel. Do you know anything about the reliability of the cayenne s ?
@@prabeeshsidhu the Cayenne S is very reliable as long as it is properly maintained. It also helps that since its a 6 cylinder now its also cheaper and easier to work on since there is a bit more space in the engine bay. The diesel engine will give you only slightly better fuel mileage but you will completely miss out on the true performance Porsche experience so at that point as far as im concerned you can save the money and buy something much cheaper.
V6 is the best engine in these - from a reliability perspective. Its the mentality of an immature lad without the means to purchase a Cayenne that will whine about the V6
I bought one in 2004 it was junk, I bought another one, 20k miles, several problems. I usually just park it and drive my Tahoe. I can’t figure out most of the buttons
Glad you liked it, we've had a lot of interest in this car over the past few months, seems like it's right in the sweet spot of when people want to pick them up in the used market.
Porsche is Porsche don't thing is hard to have ...my comments is to buy and you will see if it's ok for your life or not ...more people drive bike and dream Porsche Cayenne to have ....have nice day 👏👍
Not reliable at all. Cayenne gts 2016. 9000 for transfer case if out of warranty. 6000 for valve cover gasket leak. 500 plus for oil change every year. Window switches and louvre on vent broken and I take care of my vehicles. Yes it drives amazing but you also need spark plugs every 40000km and each tire is 800 dollars for my 21’s. Brake job easy 2000 to 3000 dollars. Too many automotive journalists are clueless when it comes to reliability. I wish i never sold my Lexus Gx. Of course it half price of new when you have to spend an arm and a leg to keep it on the road in good condition! Regardless of how good the vehicle is you will not be happy if you care about value for your money!
I was looking for problems online for these, most of the time I ended up on forums complaining about 2011s or some of the first generations. If we think about the Jag I drove with less than 1/3rd of the mileage it had quite a few problems. This one was/is seriously clean.
@@PRNTestDrive these are notorious for bad transfer cases. Because if this tho, Porsche has a extended warranty for 7 year unlimited mileage free transfer case replacement. Just keep that in mind when purchasing. I only know cuz I had to replace mine
It does have sports-car like handling. Early reviews of the first Cayenne said it had the characteristics of their cars. Porsche was really the first exotic to go SUV, now we've got Lambos, Jags, Alfas, Bentleys, and Rolls Royces. Porsche was ahead of the game.
You’ll be spending a few grand a year on preventative maintenance, if you go with one of these entry-trims there’s less to break so less overall costs. We’ve had an influx of views on this Cayenne over the last 6 months, people are really interested in them right now. Seems like it’s a great choice.
LOL - OK. So I have an option to trade my 2015 Jaguar F-Type S for a 2016 Cayenne. So the whole mystique is something I am already aware of - having complements shouted across cars at red lights & so on. I have a sports car. But for a daily driver, it gets a bit old to have a 180mph car driving city streets and having sky high bills - and it won't tow or run dirt roads. so I do like the Cayenne. But to me it's not an emotional choice so much as a practical one. I'm about ready for early retirement, a travel trailer would be nice with the right tow vehicle and this could be it. Thx for the warning about model years :) The only sad thing, there is no car in the world, with an exhaust sound as good as a Jaguar F-Type - I will miss this, when it goes - th-cam.com/video/_J1m3oOqtqc/w-d-xo.html
I mean you can always not save that $200. If you're planning to buy a car from them you might as well get as much of a deal as you can, but what do I know.
I've got a 958.2 Cayenne S and its the most unreliable car I ever had. I've daily drove and redlined my past cars like a BMW I6 or a Mercedes V8. I've beaten on those other brands for years and they haven't broke. I did hear that the 4.0 TT are much more reliable. The TT V6 power is nice but I may never purchase another one again.
@@prabeeshsidhu Engine stuttering, boost leak, sometimes misfires, window stops working. I mean it’s normal things but there’s a problem every 1-2 months. Not drivable rn. Otherwise aside from problems, it just gets vandalized.

I didn't have any issues getting onto the highway or passing slower traffic, I'd probably go with the S though, I just finished filming a 2018 Macan S and the difference in the engine to weight ratio performance was noticeable.
The S gets only 1 MPG less combined but yet will give you a whopping 120HP extra over the base engine.
@@gilgonzalez5902 I would be going for the S if I do buy the petrol version. I still am looking for a diesel. Do you know anything about the reliability of the cayenne s ?
@@prabeeshsidhu the Cayenne S is very reliable as long as it is properly maintained. It also helps that since its a 6 cylinder now its also cheaper and easier to work on since there is a bit more space in the engine bay. The diesel engine will give you only slightly better fuel mileage but you will completely miss out on the true performance Porsche experience so at that point as far as im concerned you can save the money and buy something much cheaper.
Get the S. Mine is fantastic.
"I love the brown." Can I quote you on that? :p
Absolutely can!
I'm thinking of buying one that has 133k. Is that considered a lot of km for this model year?
Miles? Maybe. It depends on service history more than anything, if it's had the scheduled work done then you might be in good shape.
133000 KM, not miles
great review . its exaclty like the entry level 2014 I am about to purchases.
Hope it works out well for you!
V6 is the best engine in these - from a reliability perspective. Its the mentality of an immature lad without the means to purchase a Cayenne that will whine about the V6
Fair enough!
I bought one in 2004 it was junk, I bought another one, 20k miles, several problems. I usually just park it and drive my Tahoe. I can’t figure out most of the buttons
The first generation certainly had it's fair share of problems unfortunately.
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lease and enjoy it for 2-4 years
informative review. Keep it up!
Glad you liked it, we've had a lot of interest in this car over the past few months, seems like it's right in the sweet spot of when people want to pick them up in the used market.
Lots of good information. It's too bad the commentator kept defending their choices instead of just talking about the car though.
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
Porsche is Porsche don't thing is hard to have ...my comments is to buy and you will see if it's ok for your life or not ...more people drive bike and dream Porsche Cayenne to have ....have nice day 👏👍
I have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe with 244,000 on it and she still goes
Hope it keeps working out well for you!
Chevy tha hoe 😂
I got rear view camera on my base 2014 RX350, standard on most luxury cars by then,
Depends on the manufacturer it seems.
Are these AWD?
I believe they all came as AWD, yes.
I own a 2010 Cayenne in white. I love it!
Glad to hear it!
Not reliable at all. Cayenne gts 2016. 9000 for transfer case if out of warranty. 6000 for valve cover gasket leak. 500 plus for oil change every year. Window switches and louvre on vent broken and I take care of my vehicles. Yes it drives amazing but you also need spark plugs every 40000km and each tire is 800 dollars for my 21’s. Brake job easy 2000 to 3000 dollars. Too many automotive journalists are clueless when it comes to reliability. I wish i never sold my Lexus Gx. Of course it half price of new when you have to spend an arm and a leg to keep it on the road in good condition! Regardless of how good the vehicle is you will not be happy if you care about value for your money!
Do you use on it regulars gas or premium?
I think Porsche recommends premium, but it'll be up to you if you go with it or not.
Requires 91
@@PRNTestDriveIt’s a Porsche. It deserves premium.
I am surprised about your comment about the reliability of a used Porsche with 80k KM on the clock.
I was looking for problems online for these, most of the time I ended up on forums complaining about 2011s or some of the first generations. If we think about the Jag I drove with less than 1/3rd of the mileage it had quite a few problems. This one was/is seriously clean.
@@PRNTestDrive amazing! Thank you for the information!
@@PRNTestDrive these are notorious for bad transfer cases. Because if this tho, Porsche has a extended warranty for 7 year unlimited mileage free transfer case replacement. Just keep that in mind when purchasing. I only know cuz I had to replace mine
“It’s a Porsche, do you have one?”
No - well, kinda.
That's one of the only times this question isn't a simple yes/no 😉
Yes
You make it sound like this is a Porsche. I am more conditioned to thinking a Porsche must be a sports car, not a SUV.
It does have sports-car like handling. Early reviews of the first Cayenne said it had the characteristics of their cars. Porsche was really the first exotic to go SUV, now we've got Lambos, Jags, Alfas, Bentleys, and Rolls Royces. Porsche was ahead of the game.
Show me one car to no have problem even man or lady Will need to take some tablet medicine for Head ..
How are maintenance with these car and how much do they cost per year to keep good please someone let me know
You’ll be spending a few grand a year on preventative maintenance, if you go with one of these entry-trims there’s less to break so less overall costs. We’ve had an influx of views on this Cayenne over the last 6 months, people are really interested in them right now. Seems like it’s a great choice.
LOL - OK. So I have an option to trade my 2015 Jaguar F-Type S for a 2016 Cayenne. So the whole mystique is something I am already aware of - having complements shouted across cars at red lights & so on. I have a sports car. But for a daily driver, it gets a bit old to have a 180mph car driving city streets and having sky high bills - and it won't tow or run dirt roads. so I do like the Cayenne. But to me it's not an emotional choice so much as a practical one. I'm about ready for early retirement, a travel trailer would be nice with the right tow vehicle and this could be it. Thx for the warning about model years :) The only sad thing, there is no car in the world, with an exhaust sound as good as a Jaguar F-Type - I will miss this, when it goes - th-cam.com/video/_J1m3oOqtqc/w-d-xo.html
Not a bad swap!
$200??!! Omggg u shouldn’t have.
I mean you can always not save that $200. If you're planning to buy a car from them you might as well get as much of a deal as you can, but what do I know.
Only one thing you are wrong it is not Porsha it is Porsche
I'd check with Porsche on that one.
"por-sha" is the correct German pronunciation
I've got a 958.2 Cayenne S and its the most unreliable car I ever had. I've daily drove and redlined my past cars like a BMW I6 or a Mercedes V8. I've beaten on those other brands for years and they haven't broke. I did hear that the 4.0 TT are much more reliable. The TT V6 power is nice but I may never purchase another one again.
What issues did you have with it
@@prabeeshsidhu Engine stuttering, boost leak, sometimes misfires, window stops working. I mean it’s normal things but there’s a problem every 1-2 months. Not drivable rn. Otherwise aside from problems, it just gets vandalized.
Porsche reliable hahaha
Sell that piece of jubk and buy a Lexus RX350
Once you go Porsche, you’d never go back.
Rx350 is reliable junk
