Not worth its own topic I think, so putting it here. The Turbo has absurd performance for an SUV. The Cayenne dethroned the Urus Performante, which achieved 1.04 g, and outdoes the other large electric SUVs by a huge margin, with the Rivian logging 0.80 g and the Lucid registering 0.90 g. This...

Good post, thank you. You might be right, but since this will be my first Porsche and I hope it'll last me years, I want to get it right. The thing with PAR is, it's unique to Porsche and it's lauded by almost all reviewers. I have no idea if the cost is justifyable and I don't know if a test...

Thanks all. We almost bought a young used Macan EV a couple of months back, but I just couldn't do it. I couldn't justify the money we'd have to spend. When spending this much, it has to be a proper upgrade. Talking about driving dynamics and charging curves to my wife who was sitting in the...

@CHP can you comment more about the interior quality compared to your Macan? When I checked the Macan EV, it wasn't really an upgrade compared to my I-Pace when only taking interior (build) quality into account. Did you feel moving to the Cayenne was definitely an upgrade?

Damn, for that price I assumed PAR was standard on the Turbo, it's not :/

What a beautiful combo in real life photos. Enjoy.

That looked very impressive for a bare bones base Cayenne! Hopefully he'll do one in an S with PAR and RAS.

That was a weird video. Way too long, not very informative. I hope for a review of the S soon from autogefuhl and eletrifying.

I did a roadtrip in the UK two years ago and I was pleasantly surpised by Gridserve. Many locations and almost all locations had 10+ chargers. Even with my I-Pace's shitty charging curve, it was a great roadtrip. For me, a man with a family, anything above 100kWh is just too much really. I'd be...

Any technical reason PAR isn't available for the base model? Or is it just Porsche trying to sell more S and Turbo models if people want PAR?

Yes, a compromise I was willing to make because it has great driving dynamics. Otherwise I'd had to consider a station wagon :whew: I need a bigger car in the near future due to the kids growing up (really fast!), so the Cayenne is another compromise for me. It's really big, but (hopefully)...

I never liked coupe styling on SUVs, looks bloated and weird to me, but I might be an outlier :) I don't like SUVs though, so I am already biased against them. If you really need an SUV for practicality reasons, might as well go for a proper one. As for base vs. S, I'd first ask myself how long...

What I learned after owning an EV: it's not about battery size, it's about how fast it charges. Most bigger EVs have big enough batteries.

I think the main questions are: why do you buy a car? If it's just a tool to go from A to B. Why not buy a nice tool for 30k? If it's just driving an EV. Why not a cheap Kia/Hyundai/Tesla? Everyone has a reason to spend this amount of money, whether it be practicality, luxury, affordability or...

Yep, very heavy. With the weight based taxing in the Netherlands, the taxes will also be really high for the ix5 :(

Did anyone get the chance to properly test S with and without PAR? Would be great to see a write-up of such a test.

@RMI thanks for mentioning that, I forgot about the tariffs. So the iX3 is not cheaper in the US, the Cayenne is just artificially made more expensive.

Where does the "3.8 seconds expected 0-60" come from? I can't see it anywhere. The range is a guesstimate btw, there are no official numbers yet. I have never seen a Cayenne being compared to an X5 when it comes to fit&finish, but that might be my bubble of course. X5 just always has been the...

Yes I see, the pricing of the iX5 in the US makes it very attractive. In Europe it would be the opposite, the iX5 would be a harder sell. The X5 cannot compete with Porsche in driving dynamics and fit&finish. I wonder why the price discrepancy is so big between US and Europe. @ocflyer I don't...

Why would you compare it to the S when the extra HP is negated by the higher weight? Performance is at Cayenne base level.
