2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Editor's Review
For the rest of us, the Cayenne, Porsche's first sport-utility-vehicle, has merely been considered the black sheep of the sports car herd from Stuttgart. Looking back to 1998, when the decision to build a Porsche SUV was taken, Porsche product planners had their sights on two targets: BMW's X5 and the Land Rover Range Rover. According to those planners in Zuffenhausen, neither combined superior performance on-, or off-road, and both were positioned at opposite ends of the SUV market. Despite sharing the development with Volkswagen, everyone at Porsche will tell you that there have been no engineering compromises with the Cayenne. The beast had to pass the same endurance and performance testing that any of the German maker's sports cars are tested with. Porsche's translation: The Cayenne is a true Porsche. That's the company line, anyway. But how can an SUV that weighs over 2,300 kilograms demonstrate Porsche's legendary driving dynamics? 125,650) I'm driving has, on paper at least, the numbers to substantiate such seemingly lofty ambitions. 96,500) power numbers by 95 and 90 respectively. Its 282 horsepower and 325 lb ft of torque are left well behind.
Applying the Cayenne Turbo's prodigious might to the road is a mandatory six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) four-wheel drive system. The Tiptronic tranny endlessly adjusts its shift points to suit my driving whims, but in the Cayenne there's also a hill recognition mode where the transmission holds onto a low gear on long uphill and downhill slopes. In dry conditions PTM decides on a front-to-rear torque split of 38:62. This gives the Cayenne a naturally rear-biased balance, yet, when slippage occurs, PTM has the ability to direct all the power to the front or rear axle. PTM's processors and those controlling the Porsche Stability Management system, ABS, ASR and ABD, all work hand-in-hand to reduce the phone calls to Porsche's road side towing assistance. Like most of the Cayenne Turbo's competition, air suspension is standard (optional on the Cayenne S). With the console controls, you can lower the car at speed, raise it for off-road jaunts or maintain ride height however much hockey gear you have in the back. There are six preset ride heights and the range of adjustment is nearly 125 millimetres with a maximum ground clearance of 275 millimetres. Admittedly, the Cayenne Turbo's 911-stretched-over-a-whale styling is not to everyone's tastes.
I want light color but as we all know, choice is limited. Didn't want another white, so looks like Biscay Blue unless they get around to adding the Dolemite Silver. Does anyone know when the Matrix lighting will become legal in U.S? It makes the Premium Plus pkg. Also, am I crazy for ordering now to deliver a MY 2019 as late as August? I have no idea when 2020 would be available on configurator. I've heard a credible rumor that it's going to be intorduced next model year and will NOT be offered as a software update to 2019 models :-(. I'd wait for the next model year, frankly.

The matrix headlight system in the Cayenne is the same as the one it its corporate sibling the Audi Q8. Last edited by beefchopper; 04-26-2019 at 12:42 AM.
