    Adaptive Cruise Control Issue

    There is a lot of competition in this class, many good options. Cayenne however is notably bigger if you need rear space so here in UK you are looking at Volvo, Lotus, Mercedes EQS SUV or BMW iX which are considerably older. New iX5 will be first to compete directly.

    Adaptive Cruise Control Issue

    Sorry to hear, you seem to be the first on this forum with major problems. Have been there before, 2 Macan EV lemons. My Cayenne seems fine so would recommend to friends. There are currently some delays in delivery/build so not sure if they identified problems with some parts. Electric cars are...

    Coupe ordered

    Did a size comparison between car my father was driving (W123) when I was younger and Cayenne EV, Cayenne is not that much longer but 20 cm wider. In terms of overall volume, that's a different story - massive.

    Coupe ordered

    Switching from Macan EV to Mini to 911 just before handover, Cayenne felt really, really big 😂. As you said, handling wise no big difference to Macan - rear wheel steering helps a lot in tight places and sharper bends. Only noticeable difference are the larger doors when parking (that’s a...

    Town between Cayenne S EV and upcoming BMW iX5

    You are taking it to the next level. For Netherlands you need to provide time of day 😇. I am closer to Venlo, 20 kmh less during daytime on highways.

    14 or 18 ways seats ?

    Wait until they have no car seats and can sneak in food. Next car for sure without Pepita 😂

    It really depends if dealer has already allocations that you can take over. Worth checking a few if time is of essence.

    Town between Cayenne S EV and upcoming BMW iX5

    Hi, how is the interior of new iX5? Interesting that it seems iX5 is smaller in the rear than Cayenne. Will they have 7 seater available? Otherwise will be hard to sell a much heavier car with less space in markets like UK. More range, due to fast charging, would not be a selling point for me...

    Tubes and Main display selection

    I tried this with Amazon music. With Porsche hotspot also available, kids drained nearly all allowance from Porsche Vodafone for the month on our trip to Germany. Normally I have more then 90% left at end of month 😂

    HD Matrix lights

    Only used it on motorway with clear road markings once There is no way headlights would dazzle incoming traffic.

    HD Matrix lights

    Do you have HD? I had exactly that problem with standard matrix on Macan. As mentioned above, drove behind latest generation M5 on middle lane. Mine adjusted quicker, BMW illuminated all 3 lanes whereas mine only middle lane and signs were much, much brighter with my lights.

    My first time in a Cayenne EV today, and comparison to Taycan/Macan

    Either the coupe is way more efficient (shouldn't really matter in town) or I need to work on my driving style (and I am on 21" ). Just looked at my consumption figures, 3.0 mi/kWh in July, 2.8 in August. Porsche app: "5% less compared to the previous month. Great! " Not sure if the programmer...

    14 or 18 ways seats ?

    14 way seems to be a safe bet for Cayenne EV (a few long distance trips without problems, haven't heard anything bad) but for those pushing the Turbo to the limit in corners they may not be adequate. Sport seats in Macan EV worked for me (head rest). Personally I didn't like the comfort seats in...

    Tubes and Main display selection

    Quite difficult to explain, little bit like widgets on iPhone but sizes of tiles are predetermined. Haven't used them enough for final verdict. I configured them first day so guess I need to rearrange, you have three sets.

    Tubes and Main display selection

    Like you, I have HUD so I personally don't find the 3D Assisted Driving View helpful. Reason I have direction in right tube is for more complex junctions on motorways. Left tube is the one I am struggling with, would prefer analogue clock with temperature (don't have chrono). yes, traffic light...

    Tubes and Main display selection

    Hi, just wonder what is everybody's favourite tube selection. Visually, I really like the 5 tube design but information are kind of redundant (I have HUD). It's fun on shorter drives but usually use map (Porsche navigation) with two tubes (right showing navigation) and Waze via AppleCar play...

    My first time in a Cayenne EV today, and comparison to Taycan/Macan

    Door handles are fine IMHO, the only things which are really cheap is the B-pillar in plastic (this even caused problems with rattling seatbelts in the Macan EV) and handles above doors (but there is a solution to replace with sunglass holders in Macan). Door storage for bottles is also a step...

    My first time in a Cayenne EV today, and comparison to Taycan/Macan

    Like @Moheisen(FirstEV), I also do not share all your concerns. I had electric rear seats like in Cayenne EV previously without any fault in 5 years. Charging ports are fast enough to me (it's no Star Wars blaster door fast though) and work reliable unlike Taycan and Macan (different design). I...

    You don't have a sunroof so you are not missing out :CWL: . Sorry about that. Totally agree, all will be forgotten soon but it's really annoying. I tracked my previous Macan and got all excited about completed steps and estimated delivery. In the end I was handed a lemon. Delay is not the end...

    HD Matrix lights

    There was a lot of discussion about HD Matrix lights but comparison to standard Matrix wasn't convincing. I ordered HD anyway as I found Matrix (HD not available) on Macan inferior to my previous cars. Drove on motorway yesterday night for first time, wow, it's an amazing piece of kit. The...
