has it been reliable?

Owned a 2016 Diesel for 5 years. Once achieved 40mpg at cruising speed. My towing capacity is 7,700lbs. Where I most enjoyed it was on the 4-lane truck passing areas in the mountains of Oregon - just aim it at the skyline in the left lane and you will find yourself suddenly closing on some apparently fast cars... It's the best all -round vehicle that I have ever owned.

Thanks for sharing!

My wife has a 2015 diesel and it is the best road-trip car I’ve ever driven. Effortless highway passing without any dramatic downshifts. In mixed city-highway driving it has averaged 26.6 mpg calculated-the fuel efficiency counter on the dash is a little optimistic. With a 26-gallon tank its range is 650-800 miles! I made a round trip from Philadelphia to Boston on one tank and averaged 31 mpg. Astounding efficiency for a 5,000-lb AWD SUV. She wants to be buried in this car.

I love my 2013 Cayenne Diesel. It has been off roading in the dunes, in the snow, has great road manners, it feels extremely stable in emergency stops bringing 5,000lbs to a hault. You can brake boost it and do a great race start which will smoke most vehicles on the road. It will also do 120 just fine. With 265 all season Michelins Sport Pilots there has been no terrain it can't handle. Oh and 700hwy mile range is great. I haven't towed yet but will soon.

@@eawhite09 it's just a VW V6 TDI slightly modified by Porsche. Millions of these things around the world. This one just has a fancy badge over it. Porsche actually has an extremely good reliability rating overall as a brand to boot.

One of the best load carriers on the planet.This car really wears it age very well.

Last year we traded our Macan S in for a 2016 Cayenne Diesel so we could tow our new 16' Airstream' Basecamp X. I miss the Macan, but this Cayenne certainly hits the mark for us. Damon neglected to mention a few things. On the positive side is the range on the fuel tank. Without towing we can get well over 700 miles on a tank of diesel, 500 miles when towing. On the negative side is the body roll on our local twisty mountain roads. Not bad but noticeable compared to the Macan. Regardless, great car

We have a 2015 with 117k miles and absolutely love it. Hope to keep if for a long time. Totally agree with Damon's scoring. I did get 750 miles on a tank of diesel once, but drove into the station on fumes and a prayer !

I have the S diesel which is a V8 and it gets 36mpg (UK gallon) on a run of some distance, 26mpg around town. It also has 385hp so is quick too. I enjoy it as much as my 991.1. Brilliant vehicles.

I somwhat disagree on show car score. These are great SUVs in the off-road community. And there's so much aftermarket support for these SUVs to make even tougher and stronger.

Nice review. I've always wondered what the Cayenne diesel would be like. Thank you for doing this review.

We love our 2014 Cayenne diesel, with 68,000 miles now. I get 24-26 mpg as daily mileage. Now only driving 2,500 per year here on Maui. I have the same Umber paint and interior. Only issue I have is the full leather dash cover is lifting in a few places. Garage kept, but the German glue seems to be a problem

Have a '15- great car or suv/truck if you prefer. It replaced a '10 Avalanche. The CD out tows and gets way better mileage as well, best so far not towing was 37 vs 19 of the Avy. NW Chicago to Tampa area is two fuel stops - Jasper Tn & Ashburn Ga with about a 1/2 tank on arrival. Turbo lag can be disconcerting but there are tunes available for that and the trans if it bothers you after your diesel gate warranty is up. I do have a '19 Macan S if I get tired of the CD performance but after the Avy it is a rocketship that handles.

Just purchased a 2013 and it is amazing for what I need right now ! as you noted hopefully to be towing additional vehicles with the great porsche lineage soon !

Here’s my story on reliability. 2013 Cayenne diesel: general maintenance, set of brakes, wipers and the usual consumables. The ONLY repair has been the failure of the DPF and Porsche no longer makes them or are available. The part is now post Covid era $7500. I chose to delete the DPF and DEF systems with RawTek and Malone Tuning. Runs amazing and has more power than ever. Also increased the MPG to 36 IN TOWN and over 45 on hwy. It’s insanely reliable. It’s 4WD and an amazing off road capable vehicle. Best car I’ve ever owned.

We've owned a 2013 for 4 yrs, 8 mo. It's my wife's daily driver, she drives 360 miles a week averaging 32 mpg. Half in urban streets, half on an interstate going 79 mph in lite traffic. We live in farm country surrounded by hills with twisties. You should have pushed it in some back road twisties, they handle damned good for the weight. David, USA didn't get the 4.2 diesel. It would be lovely to have.

As a Father I do prefer, diesel ⛽ with lifestyle, so I will purchase a pre-owned last cayenne diesel, appreciated thank you

Congrats!! Sounds like you got a great deal!

I have a 2015 Diesel. 76,000 miles. Great diesel mileage: 32 highway, 24 city. Throttle tip-in response at low speed is horrifically, awfully bad. Almost comical, to be honest. It’s bad. Really really bad. The Aisin 8-speed transmission is not good compared to the more modern ZF 8-speed in the newer cayenne/bmw/Alfa Romeo/etc. It’s a solid vehicle. And yes, it makes a good tow vehicle. 10year powertrain warranty. Already Porsche has paid out approximately $30,000 in warranty repair costs. Entire new exhaust and after-treatment system, entire EGR system replacement. It is not “sporty” in the least, not fun to drive. But for a SUV it has good high speed/interstate manners. Yes, the diesel engine does “clatter”, it’s clearly noticeable. Overall, I like the car. But it’s going to be replaced by a 2024 Cayenne S. I’ll keep the diesel until repair costs become a problem. I’ll use it to tow the GT3 and Ferrari to the track. Yes, “torque” is not fun. Power is fun.

There was a Porsche Campaign a couple of years ago which, once completed, made a marked improvement (on my 2016 Diesel) to the 'bog' previously noticed when coming out of a low-speed, and (especially) an uphill corner.

Diesel v8 would be the go

Odd comment that the Cayenne is "not fast". My Range Rover Sport with the ZF 8 speed transmission certainly is insanely fast off the line--if I shift to 1st while stopped. Sure, it maxes out at 4300/min, but the shifts are very quick in sport mode, as I shift up through the gears manually. As for top speed, for sure it won't go much more than 110 mph, so it's not an Autobahn burner, but at 80 mph I get 30 mpg and at 90 around 25 mpg. Sadly, the Cayenne was just too large for me and didn't have a two speed transfer case necessary for real off roading. And having gotten over 200,000 mi from my LR3, buying another Land Rover was a no brainer. But if something happened to my Rangie, I'd snap up one of these in an instant--diesel is the way to go for daily drivers, and the Cayennes are inexplicably way less expensive than the RR Sports...odd.

Now that diesel costs far more than even premium fuel, I can't think of a single reason to own one of these (towing being the exception). All the extra weight of the diesel engine makes it feel quite porky.

@PorscheClubofAmerica

Жыл бұрын

Depending on the market (like ours near Baltimore) a Cayenne Diesel's fuel economy advantage will still save you at the pump. The gap between premium and diesel would need to be even larger for a Cayenne V6 gasoline counterpart to cost less to run than the Diesel. When out of warranty (which is likely generous due to Dieselgate), we bet a Cayenne Diesel's emissions system, like the particulate filter and possibly exhaust fluid treatment system, will be prohibitively expensive for many people to maintain properly. We'll see...
