My wife has a new 2024 Cayenne. Algarve blue with leather mohave tan interior. Beautiful. The combination of PASM and beefier tires provides tight handling without a harsh ride. She uses Sport mode most of the time.
thank you so much for. this detailed review. Great job. I'm in the market for a CPO or new Cayanne so I recently test drove both 2023 base and 2024 base and noticed the 2023 base was a bit sluggish and jitterish in the lower gear shifts. Wife also noticed this as a passenger. The 2024 removes that with the bit more lower end torque and transmission tunning. So it felt more composed and more comfortable. Agreed the interior on the 2023 is frankly better. Porsche cheapened on materials in my view in 2024. And you really don't get much more center console space moving the shifter up. So to me it was a waste. But the screens are much better. I was cross shopping 2023 CPO vs 2024 CPO/new and because of the test drives i'm focused only on 2024 now. Just waiting to find the "one" (Algarve blue) at the right price. Thanks
@@teemo988yeah I feel you, my dad’s friend has the 2021 Cayenne and I prefer it to the new one, the new one has gotten really expensive too, even though I felt like the Cayenne was the best choice 3-4 years ago, I’d actually choose a BMW X5 to a Porsche Cayenne today, BMW has improved the X5 a good amount and honestly a BMW X5 40i M Sport today will match my dad’s friend’s Cayenne performance wise (although the 2 are nearly identical price wise)
I like the new Cayenne a lot but I feel like they have gotten so expensive, given how much something like a BMW X5 has improved over the years, I’d choose that over a Cayene today
Both look great. Little different in the front facia but both good. Different engines but great overall the both of them. Neither is better or worse than the other. I like both.
The Cayenne got pricy lol. Back in 2021, my dad’s friend got a well-equipped Cayenne for $89k (barely more money than a fully loaded X5 of the time and back then the X5 was missing features due to shortages), today, that same Cayenne would probs be around $110k. If I was shopping in the segment today, I would choose a BMW X5 as I feel like Porsche didn’t improve the Cayenne much for the 2024 refresh where as BMW made more substantial improvements to the X5 for their 2024 refresh. A new X5 40i M Sport with all the options today would be about the same price as my dad’s friend’s Cayenne and performance wise the 2 are pretty much identical. Up until recently, I’ve felt like the Cayenne was a better choice than the X5 for a few thousand dollars more (although both are incredible), however given the recent improvements made to the X5, and the substantial price hikes the Cayenne has received, I would choose the X5 over the Cayenne today. Both are amazing cars for sure however!
The digitalisation of the cluster and mid console is to flat, they could be more creative with the use of materials, window buttons, instead of using black or gloss black for everything. That's so cheap, Porsche is to me now just a very expensive Audi.
