UK build dates

Completed missed this review.
Thank you

Underwhelmed by the lukewarm response to active ride on the cayenne ev. Hopefully worth it

Wouldn't read too much into it. Couple of things are not accurate (changing HUD is as simple as it gets, you just need to read the manual) and comparison to other cars likely from recollection, if at all.

Has anyone in the UK actually got a confirmed build or delivery date as yet ?

Porsche told me id get my TYD link on July 1st, but not sign of it, and finding the dealer pretty unhelpful on the communication front to be honest. I really expected a bit more hands on contact from the sales team when buying a £100k car !

Ordered the car back on 17th December 2025, so starting to get a bit miffed by the lack of action myself !

Here a review with some good pictures of the Cayenne in oak green

That's not Oak Green. It's Mystic Green.

That's not Oak Green. It's Mystic Green with (bizarrely), the rims painted in Desert Brown.

They actually just updated the article with these pics. It had oak green pics before

………… incidentally my order is for a oak green with desert brown rims

You won’t believe this but the images have altered since I posted it…there were images of both colours

Oak Green with Desert Brown would look good. What is the window surround colour you're going with? I don't think Mystic Green goes with Desert Brown as well as Oak Green, but what I was referring to when I said it was "bizarre", was the the window surround has been left as Turbonite. I love Turbonite as a colour, and I'm having Mystic Green with Turbonite on my car, but Desert Brown rims with Turbonite window trims is a big clash, IMHO.

I did think it was strange you were mistaking Mystic Green for Oak Green!

I think they’ve forgot about you….…it’s the same attitude from our dealer ,you’d swear blind you were buying a cheap tv …I’ve had better sales communication from currys …I’ve had to chase everything and this is our 3rd Porsche …to top it all off the sales people dont even know the basics

Ive not given them chance to forget , I try to annoy them at least once a month..

You`d think it would just be easier for them just to give you the details than be chased for info every single month.

Just starting to get concerned that other than the dealer cars I've not seen any actually deliveries as yet. I thought i had loads of time at the point of ordering and now I'm sweating that I'm down to needing mine in 7-8 weeks time or its going to be an interim hire car !

Talking to out sales person …lots of people have got orders in …making for the suv and a few for the coupe as it came out later…I expect they will all filter through shortly…

KP - There are posts about the early UK cars weren't available in TYD's. In my case the dealer keeps me constantly updated. My car entered production on the 6th June and came out on the 2nd July (I suspect it was waiting for wheels). I ordered and paid my deposit on the 1st May and my Coupe is due for delivery 23rd of July.

You'll know your order has been processed and the car is in the system when you get a VIN. In my case I rec'd the VIN 2 weeks after order and 3 weeks before production because the dealer had a production allocation.

Are you purchasing the car from the dealer - if it's a lease from a company other than Porsche then sometimes the dealers prioritise 'their clients,' although an order in December and still not in production seems unusual.

It is through lease, (Via Porsche finance), and I paid the build deposit direct to Porsche. I have direct contact with the dealer. They just appear very unresponsive and lackadaisical.
The lease company claim there is a committed build date, the Porsche dealer hasn't confirmed this, but told me i would have the TYD on 1st July.
Im not unduly worried as yet, but the flippant air of communications from a premium brand does have me rather startled.

I've never had quite this level of apparent disinterest from any dealers on my previous vehicles so I'm just finding it a little surprising, as I expected Porsche to be a class above the BMWs, Jaguars and Mercs Ive had prevously, but clearly this isnt the case.

@KP_Cayenne, which wheels did you order?
Did you go with the SportTechno wheels?

Your experience mirrors that of mine in the Netherlands, and to be honest, my experience with all dealers from all manufacturers over the last 25 years in the UK and on the continent. This is the second Porsche dealer I've used in the Netherlands, the first one of which I gave up on after ordering three consecutive Porsches in as many years, simply due to the poor communication and their obvious contempt towards me as a customer. I switched to a dealer 200km from where I live, as the early indications were that they were much better at communicating with me...once I'd ordered they suddenly became a lot worse and are in fact far inferior to the dealer I switched from! About one month ago I almost called them up and requested they cancelled my order due to the shocking customer service. It makes me quite angry.

So, your experience seems perfectly on brand.

Clash of car enthusiasts and bureaucrats work ethics. Loss of track your dreams didn’t help either. Can’t say that I was overly impressed or disappointed with communication from my dealer in regards to build updates. What I can say however, aftersales for both of my Macan EV was, retrospectively, amazing.
