What should you do if you can't have the 739hp Turbo E-Hybrid? Here's a thought...Porsche has long had an issue with lesser-engined Cayennes. The initial resistance to its game-changing SUV was always going to be steamrollered by the time and money invested in making it go fast. But not every variant of its bestseller could be mended by a large and spirited petrol engine.
Furthermore, the can here is Coupe-shaped. Porsche does not require our blessing when it comes to its fastback SUV; evidently, it sells itself. Nevertheless, as with most of its rivals, the facelifted styling remains an acquired taste - one that still requires you to be okay with a fairly significant downsizing of the Cayenne’s boot capacity.
Much like it was before, virtually everything in the Cayenne is nice to touch or prod or hold or look at. The car feels like it has been put together with the precision and aesthetic confidence of a Victorian pumping station. This, it turns out, is appropriate because there are undeniably times when the E-Hybrid feels like it weighs about the same as a Victorian pumping station.
If this doesn’t sound very like Porsche-like, it isn’t. But, credit where it’s due, things improve enormously if you push through the fustiness and actually drive the Coupe like it were a Porsche.
