2016 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L V6 Diesel Review 

Every 911 owner should shake the hand of any Cayenne owner they meet...thanks to Cayenne sales, the 911 was saved and will continue on for likely another 50 years...

I have been driving 2013 Cayenne Diesel since 2015. Moved from Cali to NV , traveled to the Northwest and finally settled in TN few years back. It is one amazing vehicle

I know this video is 6 years old, but I just got a 2015 Cayenne Diesel and it's a ridiculously awesome vehicle. Feels like a Porsche, steers and handles like one too. With a tune it gets to 60 about as fast as my mk5 VW R32. Ride is a wonderful balance between sporty and comfort, and is very responsive to tire change (approaching the halfway point between stiff and comfort on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, more comfy on a softer sidewall tire). I can't think of any vehicle I'd rather have, including large sedans. Other than the S version we can't get in the united states.

+Vlad Saghin While the VW Touareg TDI is identical to the Porsche, the problem is that an Audi Q7 TDI is available for roughly the same price as a loaded Touareg. As for the Cayenne, it makes sense if you don't want a BMW X5. Although, if you like the Cayenne and if the price is too high, you can get a Touareg TDI. Some will argue that the Q7 TDI is the better choice. Either way, the Touareg TDI, Q7 TDI, and Porsche diesel are putting out similar power. The Q7 has a 3rd row and seats 7. The Porsche is definitely rides and sounds the sportiest. The BMW X5 is probably the closest competition to the Cayenne. The Audi Q5 is much smaller than the Cayenne and the new Macan is actually based on the Q5. An SQ5 is the closest competition to a Porsche Macan S. However, none of these cars have anything to complain about besides the fact that a radical new Q7 will be here by January or March 2016.

The sexiest suv on the planet with that Diesel engine reminding me of a regular sport sound with a very deep voice. Beautiful interior hands down👍🏾 "AWESOME " job Porsche.

Amazing review dude... Loved your perspective

Just brought one - they are an amazing car

Love this car, but the spare tire is a huge disappointment. That's a really important detail for practical purposes. For a car that big, there's simply no excuse for not having a full-size spare that's already inflated.

Thanks for the video , I'm looking to buy one, very helpful

just brought a Toureg 2012 , peanuts compared to her upstreet brother but lost none of her pedigree.

No it's not a ZF8 transmission but an Aisin

Nice car! And for a "base" model it seems pretty well equipped... I say that because in Europe, a base model is pretty basic and you can easily double the price with options you'd think would come standard. If not, why not a Touareg V6 TDi? Other than badge snobbery, it's pretty much alike but a lot cheaper! On another note, have you ever looked at the 2015 Skoda Superb they have in Europe? It's GORGEOUS but yet so inexpensive and has all the components of a VW!! And it's similar to an Audi A8 in size!!! It would sell well over here I think. Unfortunately, we're stuck with the american Passat...

Yeah... Oils changes are every 5k and it's not a ZF transmission

You can no longer buy a new Cayenne diesel, or a certified used one from Porsche, here in the USA. VW put a "stop-sale" order on all of their 3.0-liter diesels in all of their brands until their "fix" is accepted by CARB and the EPA. That hasn't happened yet.

No man PORSCHE CAYENNE D Sport is the best SUV that i know !!! The Diesel one have more Torque then the V8 !

mine all mine!

wasn't it originally a v-8 twin turbo? What happened? They down-sized it?

I'm looking to get this or the Audi A7 TDI. Whats your opinion between the two, which would you take?

Sounds like a X5 3.5d Diesel !

Why don't you do more truck like used diesel trucks

Hey Bryan, what suv do you recommend me to buy? I was thinking about the Q5 but its really kinda small, Q7 too big.

diesel motors do not have a break in period.

Thanks to mama WV touareg ...

Toyota land cruiser might be better at this price range

Surprising that a Cayenne has a lot of road noise! Big turn off the road noise for a $65K base price car! Totally crappy! Diesel are suppose to be louder to then gasoline engines and not be able to startup in the cold climates too! I not going with a diesel!

What's it like to insure and how much is the parts ,!all mega expense £ 200 per hour for your local Porsche dealer plus they are endless money pits because they are one of the most unreliable vehicles on the road to day they came second from the bottom ,yeah they look beautiful ,,,but buyers beware once you've spent a small fortune to buy one ,that's the expenditure just starting, I know a guy bought one 4 year a old low mileage service history and it broke down 7 times in a year costing 5 grand in the process everything went wrong the drive shaft bearings went but he had to replace the whole drive shaft water leak s ruined the electronics and ECU a rattle tapping noise from the engine air suppision compressor packed in and tyres were scrap at 8000 miles ,,,he swore to me never again ,and this beautiful Porsche is now running like crap and he can't afford to get it fixed yet again,,so go ahead my Porsche lovers go get your Porsche and I will be laughing my nuts of when I go past you in my ultra relatable Lexus rx , c ya guys good luck you will need it ,,s
