2019 Porsche Cayenne Consumer Reviews

Positive Review
Had this to replace my 991.2 because of family reasons. It quite a reasonable daily driver, has nearly all the practicality of a mid-size SUV that can seat 4 people quite comfortably. But the real joy is how well it retains Porsche like driving characteristics for an SUV. It really feels like a car meant for the road, and drives way sportier than most cars! Throttle has minimal turbo lag, a little bit noticeable, but fairly even application of lower end torque in contrast to my prior SUV which had more noticeable lag. The steering is very Porsche, and perhaps the sharpest in the industry- move the wheel 2mm and it turns the wheels, no dead space. The ride is a bit firm, but creates a sporty feel. Brakes match the throttle- very responsive and impressively so when decelerating from high speeds. Wind noise absolutely minimal at freeway speeds. Extremely strong confidence with the AWD, steering, and nearly no body roll on windy mountain roads. No issues with reliability, have taken for all scheduled services. Highly satisfied wit this vehicle. However, for those who value roomy second row seats or large trunk space, may want to look at alternatives. If you value a vibrant driving experience, vehicle response, and primarily have 2-4 people to transport- this is a great option!

Critical Review
I bought the 2019 Cayenne from a Bethesda Porsche at 2018/12/12. I changed the cayenne to another car. 1.2019 Cayenne has brake cracking noise.But there is no dealer who can solve this problem. I left my car with a dealer in Towson for nine days, but the same problem happened. The dealer at Silver Spring didn't even know what was wrong and had no answer. 2.There is a problem with the electrical system. For example, Auto Headlights do not work. I know at what point the Auto Headlight should work because I always drive the same road every morning and evening. 3.There is a bounce when the auto mission shifts from one to three. 4.Noise occurs at mufflers at a low speed of 5-10 5. Vibration is felt on the seat and the steering wheel when the air conditioner is operated. In addition to these problems, there were many problems, but I was so stressed out that I had to switch to another car. But what's really amazing is that the cayenne traded is sold as a certified used car in Porsche. I think it was really the worst brand to sell the car, making a profit from the expedient, and the salesman sending a text message to the customer that he didn't give the survey high scores. ps)These dealers have to be careful. There's a con artist hiding. 1.11990 Rockville Pike, North Bethesda, MD 20852 2.3141 Automobile Blvd, Silver Spring, MD 20904

The 2020 Porsche cayenne base is a good used car with a lot of value for the money it is good quality and the styling is nice along with the speed it’s not the fastest but it’s pretty fast for the base model
Fit finish and performance
Regular msintence is “European”
I’ve owned many high-end brands BMW, Peugeot, Maserati, and Mercedes. This cayenne is the finest fit and finished car by far. It has been extremely reliable, and regular maintenance is on a par with BMW and Mercedes, but it has been a great deal more reliable.
Driving experience, quality of build
Expensive to purchase
This is the second cayenne I’ve owned. I’ve owned high end cars most of my life. Porsche has the highest quality fit, finish an reliability of any car I’ve owned. The performance has spoiled me for any other car. Porsche has also honored warranties far beyond any other manufacturer I have ever owned (Ford, GM, BMW, Peugeot, Maserati, or Rover).
Porsche' name
Safety
This car does not live up to the Porsche' brand. Poor ride quality, very loud on the highway. EXTREMELY difficult to navigate car options. What takes me 4 clicks to accomplish something in the Cayenne takes me two clicks in a BMW. On the road to adjust any setting is dangerous due to the poor user interface. The voice assistant is useless as is the GPS system. The GPS is inaccurate and gives instructions a second or two late.
Drive, balanced power delivery, torque, FUN
Road noise, technology. That's it.
I have owned the Cayenne, Twin-Turbo, loaded, for nearly three years now. It is an absolute beast to drive. Powertrain is over 550 HP, torque is literally insane, Burmeister stereo is fantastic, it is like riding on the back of a scalded cat. Had to replace water pump first year, under warranty, nothing else. Nothing. Not as fun; road noise is higher than other cars (huge tires), technology is about three years behind Audi, tech is not as intuitive, not a fan of the new panels on the side of the shifter; glass panel is always dirty. Not a day goes by that I don't look forward to driving it. Have owned Ferrari, several 911's, AMG's and others. My favorite: CTT. Will be buying another one to get two year ago technology next year in 2023, the drive is worth it.
Superior SUV handling
Lack of standard and safety equipment for the base
This is my 4th Cayenne. It handles curves better than my 2016 corvette. For the price it should come with much more standard and safety equipment.The design is very mediocre . The base could use more HP than 335. Without the soft close option you it takes 2-3x to fully close the doors. Overall the superior driving experience compared to other SUV’s justify the purchase.
Porsche drive characteristics.

Fun, roomy, comfortable
None
I purchased the new 2019 Cayenne new two years ago this month, and it has been amazing! It is fun to drive, can haul just about anything I need, has been consistently reliable, and gets over 30mpg on the interstate. It is a very comfortable ride, and just a pleasure to own.
