Question 1

Which Porsche Cayenne generation is the best used buy?

Accepted Answer

The second generation, from 2010 to 2017, is lighter than the first and offers a wide choice of V6, V8, diesel and hybrid engines. The third, from 2017, is more refined inside and adds plug-in E-Hybrids across the range.

Question 2

What goes wrong on a used Porsche Cayenne?

Accepted Answer

On first-generation V8s the plastic coolant pipes in the engine's V can crack and leak, and the propshaft's centre bearing wears. On any Cayenne check the air suspension, if fitted, and budget for large tyres and brakes.

Question 3

Does a used Porsche Cayenne pay the expensive car supplement?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if it was first registered from April 2017: every Cayenne listed above £40,000, so it pays £440 a year on top of the £200 standard rate in years two to six. Older Cayennes pay by their CO₂ band, mostly near the top of the scale.

Question 4

Is a used Porsche Cayenne diesel ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Only if it meets Euro 6, generally from September 2015, which covers the last second-generation diesels. Petrol Cayennes from 2006 onwards generally comply; check any car with TfL's vehicle checker.

Question 5

Which versions does the new Porsche Cayenne come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Cayenne comes with a 353 PS V6, as the V8 S and GTS, as E-Hybrid plug-ins up to the 739 PS Turbo E-Hybrid, and as the Cayenne Electric from 442 to 1,156 PS. Every version is automatic and sits beside the used cars at its on-the-road price.
