While test drivers say that it can be pricey, with a range of reviewer-liked engines, agile handling and an opulent interior, reviewers agree that it’s hard to go wrong with the 2014 Porsche Cayenne.
The 2014 Porsche Cayenne is available with a range of engines, including a standard V6 engine that reviewers say delivers adequate power. Reviewers tend to prefer the engines available on higher trims though, which include a turbodiesel V6 and naturally-aspirated and turbocharged V8s. All but the base model come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which reviewers say makes precise, timely shifts. A Cayenne with the base V6 engine and automatic transmission achieves 17/23 mpg city/highway, which is on par for the class. The diesel model is the most efficient, at 20/29 mpg. The various V8 models earn lower fuel economy estimates. Test drivers love the Cayenne’s athletic handling and communicative steering, noting that as a whole, the Cayenne is one of the most engaging and fun-to-drive models in the segment.
Reviewers are impressed with the Cayenne’s interior design, as well as the high-quality materials used to construct the cabin. The five-seat Cayenne’s cargo space is similar to what other five-seat SUVs in the class offer. Several test drivers note that while the Cayenne’s center stack has a lot of buttons, they are logically arranged and don’t take long to acclimate to. The 2014 Porsche Cayenne comes standard with a 10-speaker stereo system with a 7-inch touch-screen display, Bluetooth and dual-zone automatic climate control, but few other notable features. Features available as options or on higher trims include an upgraded stereo system, four-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio and navigation. Available active safety features include front and rear parking sensors, a backup camera, adaptive cruise control and lane change assist.
