Back in 2002, a low volume low profit manufacturer called #Porsche took a risky move in a bid to become a bigger player in order to save the company and fund bigger and better sports cars: creating the Porsche #SUV, the Cayenne. And now almost two decades later: the Cayenne has been one of the key sales successes of Porsche, funding the creation of bonkers things like the 918 Spyder Hypercar - a car that set the direction for every hybrid since, including today’s car - The all new facelift #Cayenne S E Hybrid!
The new Cayenne is here, and it’s now much sharper looking outside, and has had a huge upgrade in its interior. More crucially, the Hybrid Version has seen some great improvements that should make living with it even better. The New Cayenne has improved hugely in general terms too, when it comes to power units on offer.
Firstly our previous V6 Cayenne S gets upgraded to a full on V8, much like the GTS and turbo. It’s more powerful than the V6 at 474PS, and obviously brings a lot more emotion to the table. It’s also nice and light at 2160KG!
There’s a model below this with the standard Cayenne, which has a V6 with 350HP. This also serves the basis for the Cayenne E hybrid base model! Speaking of hybrid, our car today is the mid point. In-between E Hybrid and Turbo E, it has a revised 3.0 V6 turbo engine with: 353 HP and an 176 HP electric motor. Together the system makes 519 HP, 750 Nm, and 0-60 in 4.5 secs. What’s more impressive is the Electric Range of 90km, which is a massive increase over the previous which only had 48km range!
Much of this is also thanks to the new electric engine, not only do we have more power but it also recuperated up to 88kw as low as 2kmph! The battery is also now a 25.9kw unit, and can be charged fully in 2.5 hours
Check out my other video for the Turbo E Hybrid - the more powerful cayenne ever at 739BHP - way more than the 680 BHP predecessor. Thanks to a reworked V8 in that new hybrid system! And I also drive the GT package version, which is Porsches epic workaround to not being able to have the turbo Gt in some major markets. Link to this is below:
• 2023 All-New Cayenne T...
The Design upgrade on the facelift is big too! Large arched wings, sharper bonnet and body lines. Much more defined rear with greater break up of body parts, and my fave bit: the super sharp matrix lights! The rear is much more sporting, taking a lot of cues from Macan’s sportier character. A Coupe is available once again too, and this model can option a lightweight sports package saving up to 33 kilograms.
Interior upgrades are even bigger, with Taycan inspired large screens on the dashboard. The Driver Zone one is a curved display with a new operating system, and thus all new driver zone screens! These are much better designed than before, and feature more display options like the 5 circles of the 911. The 12.3 inch screen in the middle is the new PCM system with smartphone style UX. Porsche are also apparently the first manufacturer to incorporate new CarPlay features - but I couldn’t deduce what those were on this first drive. Of course, you can also now option a passenger screen too.
Will the V6 convince as a daily alternative to the EV onslaught? And can it hope to bring some of the emotion that made the Turbo E so fun to drive? Let’s find out today!

That purple leather is gorgeous.
Thanks for such a well put together review! BTW, where you were driving? the mountain range in the background is superb!
I remember watching your review of the Cayenne GTS Coupe. It helped me pull the trigger on a '23 Cayenne GTS, and it is a remarkable machine. Absolute joy to drive.
you got the facelift one?
Nah, the '23 model was the last year of the previous gen. While the facelift is growing on me, I actually prefer the look of the previous gen's teardrop headlights. Also mine has the analog tach and center console gear shifter. Not the biggest fan of the digital dash cluster, but it's a reality we all must accept.@@hanspeter24

It all depends what you need. I had Panamera 4S e hybrid, and the car was amazing. Personally i like to move in the traffic jam with EV mode, and if you are in the mood to drive fast, the car is very responsive 560hp and 3,7-100kmh, it consumed arround 5l/100km. I am also an owner of 992 Turbo S, but even you sit in Panamera after 911, hybrid never feels slow because of low end torque, but when i tested Cayenne S V8 on low rpm it is not that responsive and also during same testing phase we noticed that on the same track and same pace e hybrid consumed 10l and S V8 was 22l. So as i say it depends on the situation. I don’t like EV cars, but i like PHEV, but maybe thats just me.
Nice that it doesn't have those tablet ontop dash. I hate those, looks very cheap when they do that.
I'm a fan of the interior spec. Engine noise sounds great as well!
I think the interieur is really really nice. Love the trim
I have the new base Cayenne coupe e-hybrid. One thing you did not touch upon is fuel consumption. For my first 1000 or so kms with the car, average fuel consumption has been 2.4 l/100 km. Mostly city driving and short highway trips in electric mode of course, but not bad for a big SUV.
You enjoying it?
Some buttons and a lever, liking the sound of that. Suspect when my S diesel wears out this could be the replacement.
That is my dream interior. Thank you!!
I like the new updated model and I drove the e-hybrid and it felt great but I don’t know why no one is talking about the change to the interior colors on the seats. Why has #porsche chosen to have a black middle backseat when you want a different seat color than black. My family and I love a beige/cognac interior but on the new model it looks really bad with the black middle backseat 😢
Thank you!Finally somebody that says it. Also I think the outside color are not so great.
Love the classic 5 dials, miss the gear selector.
Due to your remarkable review of the Mercedes GLE AMG 63s I purchased the Merc over the cayenne turbo s and never looked back. Thank you
That carbon and gold accent with race-tex roof lining looks impressively splendid. I would be hard for me to get out of the car.
„It is like sitting in an Tank“ - Guess you never sat in a Tank 😆
Please post at the top the full options list of the car being reviewed. It's especially important for Porsches. When you rave about the suspension and exhaust sound, we need to know whether ~$10k USD of option boxes have been checked.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
I think that interior looks superb.
Where are you?? Incredible scenery
a dream car. cause its solid asf, fast and luxurious. what else you need?
Man that 918 is timeless
What PTS color is that at 9:08? And what's the MPG, both with full battery charge and in hybrid mode?
I want this S e-hybrid! But the coupe version. Electric only range is perfect! What you show at 8:12 is how I would spec it. The Algarve blue with the neodyme wheels and decal. Then the barrique red leather and all carbon/neodyme trim.
That's a great spec combination 👌
Be aware that coupe boot is just 404l, same like in Panamera, almost not usable with family. Pre face-lifted Cayenne hybrid coupe due to smaller battery had much more space
@@mariusrumbinas2540 people who want/buy coupe suvs don't care about space.
Great video.
What is fuel consumption on S E hybrid? I can’t decide between that one or regular S model?
Please review the Cayenne S suv V8 🔥
i am so torn in between X5 and Cayenne, its just Cayenne turning to be too expensive for the price for same features. so waiting for new macan to come out in 2024 to make informed decision
you shouldn't compare macan and cayenne - they're just not the same class. It's like comparing x2 and x5
I wonder why where is plenty of e-hybrids in the second market and none s models ;)
How can you tell the difference between the GT Cayenne with the Cayenne GT Package from the exterior both 2024
Tried to spec one of these and black wheel options are so limited to multi spoke design only. The wheels on this test car are grey and just doesn’t work for me
Super film !
THe old Tach looked way better than this screen that looks like every other car.
Jamie needs to clean his lens 😂
Are you driving this one with sports exhaust on or stock setup
Great question 🤔
Interesting... It seems like the privacy tint on the second screen at 11:20 can be a means to allow passengers to watch video without violating any road laws?
Exactly that. Personally I think they are a co plate waste of time. Everything other than video is on the centre screen which is a hands width to the left. I’m sure a passenger could move their head slightly and save you a €1000
What cars are you reffering to when you mention comparable waight between this and normal ICE powered cars?
DLR or DRL?
This new look just doesn't work for... Even on Panamera... Prefacelift models were just superb 💯
Nope completely disagree
The big boys do seem to be going for Hybrids. Merc S63 has a hybrid of some 800 bhp! I heard that the massive fire at Bristol Airport was caused by an electric vehicle. So no electric for me!
You mean Luton Airport - and it was not an EV!!
People say it was. Neither petrol or diesel causes that amount of devastation. Do you sell EV's?@@robertthorpe6798
I was about to take brave pills and test drive a very late last model Cayenne Hybrid in very nice spec….but now you make me want the newer one. But I can save c£40,000 on the older car which is not so different…yes a smaller range but a better dashboard as I hate huge screens and is it so crazy to go for that?? Hmmm…but it sounds like even the older model still special in many ways! 🤔🤔😃😃
Great review as always, if anyone can get a hybrid right, it's Porsche. Also the Turbo E-Hybrid sounds pretty nice at 8:06 🔥
Does EHYBRID mode sounds like tycan with sound effects?
Yes, you can turn the feature on/off
My own input you almost have to get 10k in options just so the cayenne's exterior and interior looks the best. The interior without the leather upgrade is junk as well as the painted facias and valences transform the look of the car.
Damn you can hear loud noise inside 🤨
Raz. Love you man...but...it's DRL. DRL. DRL not DLR 😂❤
sometimes hard to discern 100 percent of your feelings,, almost as if you were to say something 'bad' that Porsche or whoever wouldn't let you have their car for a review. For instance here,, is the weight penalty more important than picking up the S version, or even the base model and giving it more pedal to make up for the lesser amount of power. MY experience is that with suv's that when you live in a mountainous or winding road area, that weight is so important,,, having to take every curve or up and down with hundreds of kilos of extra mass.
I HATE THAT MINI GEAR SHIFTER NOT SUITABLE IN A MUSCLE CAR LIKE THAT
Great review and looks like a great alternative to a GLE as well.
The AMG 63s is phenomenal
What's the brake pedal feel like? The base ehybrid has received a lot of criticism regardjng pedal feel.
I think they fixed that a few years back. I have a 23 panamera e-hybrid and the brake feel is spot on, nothing weird with the hybrid or regen stuff. I actually get some crappy brake feel and down shifting in my wife’s q8
I have seen a couple of reviews like this one kzhead.info/sun/aNOnmM2RjHSeiHA/bejne.html which suggest that the break pedal feel isn't great. I'm trying to decide between a Cayenne (S) E hybrid or BMW X5 50e.
@@fooey1interesting. Maybe the panamera is different? My mom has a panamera GTS and dad a taycan turbo S so I feel like I’d notice the difference but they’re all similar brake feel. I highly recommend test driving tho and not leaving this up to word of mouth and reviews.. maybe it’s subjective
@@fooey1would you tune it? Just realized the S e-hybrid is still the 3.0 V6. You could get the base, save a good amount, and spend $2k on a tune that puts specs above the S e-hybrid even. That’s what I did with my 4 e-hybrid. FWIW any cayenne is going to stand out on the road much more (esp anything above base) than any X5 which are ubiquitous at least where I am
I will wait for the S E hybrid to be available for a test drive and then do them both at the same time. I drove the 45e last year and it was very comfortable and a civilised drive but not very engaging. I will test drive the 50e as well. I don't like the idea of tuning a brand new vehicle as it voids the warranty. One thing I do want is air suspension
I might be making a career change to Luton drug dealer, I like that interior.
hmmm, well the 2019 Cayenne S was just as fast to 60 than this one which has more power. And this one is much heavier, and likely use up tires faster thanks to the hybrid option.
How fast can the car fully recharge itself while driving on petrol? Is it really at 88kw? should be within 1 hour then?
Definitely not
@@jak493 how fast then?
It would take hours to recoup a battery and even longer to use regenerative breaking as it’s only occasionally when breaking. I actually think you could never recharge it fully just by driving.
@@senoow4215 My X50e does about 6-7 miles added back per hour to the battery when driving in sports mode...
@@pete64041 hmm ok, ty for answer!
Coupe or full size?
Piano black plastic is just the worst, so reflective with sunroof its distracting, and I don't have to mention all of its other shortfalls.... Someone should develop an aftermarket matte black console.
Have to admit if I paid this much money for a car I would not want to hear the revs of the engine from the inside - I would like a nice quiet peaceful environment.
The only option soon if you’re wanting a Porsche suv with an ice engine.
Is there no GTS version on the 2024 models?
But what’s hidden behind the blurred dials? 🧐
yeah, stupid to have a video and blur them out... apparently he's worried about going over the speed limit, but who in the history of KZhead car reviews has ever been taken to court by the police? Kind of a neurotic attitude, really.
@@cbatiau2528 apart from the risk of getting points and a fine, the car manufacturers probably aren’t keen on the journalist breaking the law - doesn’t make them look very good, not the image they would want I suspect
I’m a Porsche addict and I really dislike this interior; they replaced the ignition switch with this cheap start button; this shifter is really tasteless non sporty peace; the dials screen look like a hack job after thought, it is not really integrated in the dash as it should you feel there is something missing, the all screen wall console and the middle console just has no taste at all; btw I own 9YB TGT and I actually got it after seeing the new model in April
I wonder if the Cayenne Turbo GT could match a 918 in the 1/4 mile. Probably not but it might be closer than you think.
Its not close lol, the 918 does 9.7 vs 11.21 for the turbo gt
YES! Too bad the cargo space is tiny... :(
Time to Dump that EV! Also Time to Rob A Bank to Pay for it!
if car interior really has to be filled with screens, this is how it should be done, imo..
Even Porsche doesn’t trust fully EV
❤porsche
Given its lowly origins, sharing nearly every panel with its VW tourag origins, it's great that the VW, Audi and Lambo have managed to look different now.
Nice video except for the fact that you rather glossed over its electric-only driving when you actually drove the car. Why blur out the instrument screen when driving it? I'd like to see a close-up camera showing what's going on in electric-only or hybrid modes. People are not buying this car for performance; they are buying it to have an EV for local driving but without having to worry about range anxiety. As a Panamera E-Hybrid owner, I can tell you that most people with E-Hybrids try to keep the ICE from coming on, rather than being eager to use it. People who want to focus on the V6 won't get an E-Hybrid. It would have been nice if you actually did an all-electric range test, both at speeds < 45 mph (where it's intended to be used in E-Power only) and at speeds > 45 mph (when it's intended to be used in any mode except E-Power, unless for short distances).
Hold up. Why does the S have the V8 but the S e-hybrid has the V6? That doesn’t make any sense
The Tubo has the v8 plus hybrid
Pure money-making marketing shite: you first detune your V6 base engine before you turn it into a base e-hybrid and then you bring that same V6 back up to its original output, slap the e-motors and battery on it and call it an e-hybrid "S"...
No, I won‘t dump that ev :)
Unpopular opinion, V6s are the nicest natural sounding engines. Regardless of the application, it will sound good.
"Time to Dump that EV"...? Both the driving and ownership experience of ICE, Hybrid and EV are all very different. For starters, we have to take into consideration the tax incentives

Hybrids make sense to me. Pure EV's don't.
I think my GLE Hybrid is a better car in many ways…it’s also a lot less expensive, better looking in AMG guise ,with a bigger electric range and it’s a MERCEDES!
Bias
@@m27gio I drove the new Cayenne hybrid and I prefer the GLE Hybrid….presumably you’re biased to Porsche? Good job it’s not a crime!
@@ianbrown1255that’s the beauty is there’s no objective right answer and you gotta go with what you believe is best for the money. $30k is a huge bump and obviously not worth it if you don’t feel there’s a meaningful enough improvement. Enjoy
Flabbergasted by all these incompetent comments about a Porsche where the quality and feel of the interieur is absolutely HORRIBLE. Just received my 2024 Cayenne Hybrid, my 4th Cayenne and I have 10 Porsches running. The price tag was 153.000€.......What happened at the Porsche Interior department ??? The interior looks like a cheap Skoda or Opel. Way too much and totally unacceptable cheap, cold, dull plastic. Look at the door handle, they probably couldn't find anything cheaper, this dull plastic handle is total shambles and totally unacceptable for a car of this price range, the underside is HOLLOW......Have you ever.....The steering wheeling looks totally CHEAP with kitchy plastic like it was bought from Microsoft where they use it on their car simulators. Furthermore it isn't electrically adjustable......only manual, so no steering wheel adjust when choosing a programmed seating position. Have they gone senile at Porsche ? Hey design team : I paid 153.000 € for this RIP OFF..... The gear lever is invisible from the drivers position as it interferes with the windshield wiper controls, looks like a knob on your expresso machine and it is not lighted at night......What's happening at Porsche ? All the rest of the knobs, like the seat adjustments and window operation (all dull, black plastic) are totally unfit and unacceptable for a car of this price level. The rear seat bench looks like a plank......the back seat in my daughters Beetle has better seating. I am totally GUTTED by this unacceptable CHEAPO interior and what is the netting doing on the back of the seats ? Just barely worthy for a French car of the seventies. This 2024 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid is a total waste of money and after having driven Porsches for over 40 years I am , rightfully, deeply disappointed by this totally substandard, biblically DULL interior. Shame on you Porsche Design Team. I'm very, very disappointed, what a waste.
My feelings exactly. My love story of many years with the brand is coming to an end as well. It's like the company is being run by a bunch of Martin Shkreli's who have decided to test how far they can go in fleecing their customers out of their (sometimes) hard-earned money before it starts showing in their sales figures. Putting almost anything that should come standard on an almost €120.000 car, on the options list and then blatantly over-charging for it. A dealer network and after-sales service which demonstrate that same arrogant demeanour: we are Porsche and we have built cars for more than 75 years so the customer is always wrong and he will get some expensive service if and when we decide he can get some. Playing exactly the same game with people who want to buy one of its halo cars as that other haughty car brand with a prancing horse in its logo: how many hoops can we let our customers jump through before they turn away in disgust ? And if they don't, they clearly don't care about how much money they are spending and that's exactly the kind of customer we want. And for selling our volume cars which bring in the real money, we can always depend on those badge fetishists who are eager to spend good money on the four cylinder entry level cars in combination with Porsche stickers, crests, logos and other puddle light projectors. And you are absolutely right about the quality of some of the materials that Porsche uses in its interiors these days. They do not stand the test of time and are not what a loyal customer expects at this price level. The amount of plastic used in its top-of-the-line models is staggering but it's not because a large part of your customer base is willing to pay through the nose to have almost anything wrapped in leather, that you should cheap out on some of the standard materials you use. But Porsche must have noted that the other premium German brands are getting away with that so why not cut some corners there as well ? Porsche still fabricates a rather well-made product but shamelessly exploiting its bygone motorsports heritage to cut corners, fleece and disrespect loyal customers and dilute the brand, is where it stops for me. I am starting to wonder whether Porsche's "Exclusive Manufaktur" rather means "Exalted Manure" these days....
Is it reasonable to pay this price without testing this car, or did you
1st! ❤❤
Sorry - never going back to an ICE car outside of a toy like a 911 as long as I have a garage to charge at.
When you park it up and walk away from it would you want to turn and give it an admiring glance, I don't think so as it's to damn ugly
I will never go back to petrol or hybrid. My Tesla is extremely cheap to run and own, quicker than most cars, very nice on long trips where it drives itself for 99% of the time, and the range is longer than my bladder can take. So, no…EV it is for me.
Tesla has no HUD display and speedo not even in front of the drivers straight on view, its in the corner of a massive centre console, I am mazed this is allowed!
@@user-lt6kg5xc6m it's slightly off to the right, and there are many cars in Europe with similar setup. It's allowed and it's not a major issue. It would not be the best selling car in the world if it was a major issue.
