2015 Porsche Cayenne S Review - autoevolution

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S is the “big talent” kind, the balanced one you rarely find these days. Sometimes, they can be a bit of a pain, considering it’s OK to hit you with their flaws since they’re so good at what they do, but not this Porsche. The 2011 pre-facelift Cayenne S had that kind of “you’ll have to put up with my defects” personality, trading a bit too much comfort for the dynamic experience it offered. We love it when a certain car sweeps us off our feet, which is what the 2011 Cayenne did. And when instead of hitting the open road you’re idling in stop and go traffic, taking your loved ones to the park in the center of the city, you suddenly realize the 4. 8-liter V8 up front is a bit thirsty. Well, the 2015 mid-cycle revamp addresses the points mentioned above with Porsche accuracy. The Cayenne S and GTS have both switched to twin-turbo power, offering superior performance and asking for less fuel in return. As for those Cayennes that have kept the V8, they’re even more serious about it. For one thing, the 2016 Cayenne Turbo S is the first production SUV to lap the Nürburgring in under 8 seconds.
