*"The most expensive of which being £4,554. The same as a litre of petrol."* _That has to be quote of the year_ 8-))... But by the end of 2022, might be the truth 8-((... A great review from a great reviewer. Nice one Howie ;-))...
I completely agree with you most cars these days are rubbish. I had this engine in a Panamera. I enjoyed it. I went for the Panamera because the interior is nicer than the Cayenne. Good review, I enjoyed it. thanks 👍
THANKS HOWARD FOR A REFRESHING OUTLOOK ON A MULTIGENERATIONAL CAR. HAD 4 OF THESE .UNDERSTATED,VERY VERY SAFE IN AN ACCIDENT(SAVED MY WIFES LIFE) AND MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL WITH EVERY RIDE. ADDITIONALLY IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN, AND DOES WHAT EVERY PORSHE DOES-DRIVES LIKE THE CLAPPERS WHEN NEEDED.
We have the Cayenne S with the same engine and you are 100% correct Howard, it's a brilliant piece of machinery and puts a smile on your face when you drive it. Personally, the functionality of the Hybrid just doesn't justify the cost. Now, I have my Taycan 4S CT due shortly................now there's a bit of kit I'm looking forward to being a DD. Are you planning on reviewing one of those?
Don’t buy the new one. Get a 2015 hybrid model for pennies on the dollar. No one except hardcore car people will know the difference and it’s still quick af (6 sec). It is the best car I have ever owned by far and I actually love that thing. It is that good. That said, it is kind of a boring car. You can floor it and be stupid in it and it will never loose traction. It is not like a mustang or Ferrari. It is the ultimate safe and fun A to B car you can consistently use without fear of breakdown. On a side note, repairs are something you should definitely budget for. 5k repairs and service is at least a yearly thing
Do you hear humming noise when driving electric at 10-20 miles/hr speed? The dealers say it is normal, intending to alert pedestrians. But BMW hybrids do make such noise.
