New Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe 2020 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThat\u2019s already a major tweak over the previous base version, which had less power and a 2.9-litre engine instead. And this is the only pure-petrol V6 in the range, now that the Cayenne S has moved across to V8 power.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s four-wheel drive, of course, and has an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Porsche claims a 0-62mph time of six seconds \u2013 this remains one of the slowest-accelerating models in the company\u2019s line-up \u2013 and a top speed of 154mph.<\/p>\n
It costs \u00a367,400, a modest increase over the previous entry-level edition, although even the metallic paint of the example you see in the pictures here adds nearly \u00a3900 to that figure. Even breathing in the near vicinity of the options list could easily take your total north of \u00a370k \u2013 but then, for now at least, this is the largest and most practical SUV that Porsche makes.<\/p>\n
Cayenne aficionados will be able to tell the difference between pre and post-facelifted editions of the car, although the tweaks are relatively subtle. There are reprofiled headlights, complete with matrix technology across the range, plus a new front bumper and, unusually for a facelift, changes to the metal panels for the bonnet and front wings.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of significant tweaks within the Cayenne\u2019s imposing frame, too. Porsche has completely overhauled the car\u2019s suspension, where new two-valve shock absorbers are claimed to deliver an unparalleled mix of comfort and body control. In the cabin there\u2019s a fresh fascia dominated by a pair of displays \u2013 a 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and a central 12.3-inch infotainment screen. You can even have a third information panel in front of the passenger, if you\u2019re willing to run the gauntlet that is the options list.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Of course the Cayenne can\u2019t match Porsche\u2019s sports cars for involvement, but it does have a surprising amount of agility for something this tall and heavy. You feel more connected to what\u2019s going on beneath you than in many of this car\u2019s obvious rivals, and direct steering and a willingness to quickly change direction mean that the Cayenne does feel smaller than its actual dimensions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trade-off for this fine body control is perhaps a bit more patter and certainly more noise from beneath you \u2013 on the steel springs of this entry model, at least. We\u2019d have to try an air-sprung Cayenne on UK roads to see if it manages to isolate you more effectively from road scars and sharper, higher-frequency inputs \u2013 particularly since Porsche claims the regular suspension\u2019s extra ability has allowed it to tune the optional set-up for greater comfort.<\/p>\n
On the whole, though, the Cayenne never crosses the line and becomes uncomfortable; instead it feels every bit the contemporary, combustion engine-powered Porsche SUV that it needs to \u2013 still a notch above wannabe-luxury rivals from BMW and Mercedes, with a distinctive sharper edge to its handling.<\/p>\n
The cabin experience, meanwhile, puts further distance between the Cayenne and those other brands, with supreme build quality and top-grade materials throughout. The infotainment is slick and easy to use, with crystal-clear graphics, and the physical controls that you\u2019re likely to interact with on a regular basis \u2013 the stubby gear selector, the indicator and wash\/wipe stalks, the air vents \u2013 have a terrific solidity to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Cayenne\u2019s overall chassis dimensions haven\u2019t changed, of course, so while there\u2019s not as much space in the cabin as there is in, say, a Bentley Bentayga, this is still an environment where four adults will be able to travel long distances in comfort. The boot remains a decent size too, with 695 litres of capacity or 1,708 litres if you fold down the second row of seats.<\/p>\n
