The article will consider reviews of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel). Yes, it was on this model that the gearbox made the strongest impression on the owners of the beautiful German sports crossover. It has two of the most popular engines: petrol V6 and diesel. The second engine option is a six-speed manual gearbox, which is designed for people who want to "feel the car." However, according to the owners of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel), this is not at all the case. With this transmission, you can only save on fuel, as your car will consume less fuel. As you already understood, this article will provide an overview of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel). Let's start with his audio system.

Music

Below in the material in the photo - "Porsche Cayenne" (diesel). It is worth noting that in the new German crossover in the second generation they put a BOSE audio system. itthe most basic modification, which has fourteen speakers for two hundred watts, ten channels of amplifiers, and in general the entire power of the audio system is 585 watts. But if you are a fan of very high quality and "concert" music, then you will have to pay a lot more money so that your Porsche Cayenne (diesel S) has a new modification with a chic Burmester High-End system. Its characteristics are much better, it already has sixteen active speakers that can be controlled. The subwoofer is already three hundred watts, and the total output power is more than a thousand.

Transmission

As mentioned above, the gearbox of the Porsche Cayenne 3L with diesel is good. The German engineers abandoned the decision to supply their old "PDK-Robot". Such a gearbox can be found on cars from this brand, such as the Boxster or Turbo S. And this can be understood: such a robotic gearbox with two clutches is not suitable for driving in the mud, that is, the Cayenne crossover. It may not withstand the load or trailer, so it was decided to install a new transmission. Japanese craftsmen from Aisin worked on it.

The new box has eight gears, the ability to switch them using the "petals" on the steering wheel. But this is not the most important thing. The best thing about it is the great settings. She, if you wish, can shift gears not 2-3 speeds down, but immediately four. You press the gas pedal - instantly the third gear. You go to yourselfseventh - released the pedal, already 3 or more speeds lower. The new "Porsche Cayenne-2018" with a diesel engine is very technological.

Of course, the most important thing about the new Tiptronic S eight-shift automatic transmission is fuel economy. The new crossover weighing two tons spends only 15 liters per hundred kilometers around the city. Which is very good, and this is a significant result that overtakes competitors. And the consumption in a Porsche Cayenne with a diesel engine is even less: thirteen liters per hundred kilometers on city roads.

Yes, you can, as with almost all other cars, write: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel S has a delay when shifting downshifts, but it is very, very small. Talking about her is just illogical. It should be understood that any other driver, even the most professional one, will not be able to downshift so well and do it faster than a transmission from a German brand. It is worth noting that the gearbox is quite "smart". When going through a tight corner, when you let off the gas, it does not upshift. She herself will never shift gears if it is not necessary at all. The specifications of the Porsche Cayenne (with diesel) are quite good, especially the transmission.

And of course, it is worth recalling the important function of shifting gears to sport mode. A separate button has been created for this, which makes switching stages much faster. Reduced ones are turned on much more often, boosters are not used at all. And of course, about fuel economythe transmission forgets and the car runs at full power. The engine oil for the Porsche Cayenne (diesel) must be filled in the same way as for all other cars. Approximately every five thousand kilometers.

The myth of plagiarism

Many people say that the German Porsche Cayenne is very similar or even similar to the Volkswagen Touareg. Yes, these models are built on the same platform. But their functions, prestige and many other factors are fundamentally different. For example, the 350-horsepower German car Audi TT RS is built on the same body as the civilian Skoda Octavia - and no one can call these cars the same. So you should understand that if the machines are created on the same platform, this does not mean that they are completely similar and similar.

Interior

The front seats for people are adjustable in eight directions. And it's all included in the basic package. However, the Turbo variant has as many as eighteen positions for the driver's seat. And of course, they have ventilation and heating. And the same cooling and heating functions are offered for the rear seats.

Engines

The three-liter V6 petrol engine produces as much as three hundred horsepower and 400 Newton meters of torque.

The diesel counterpart also has a volume of three liters, and the power is already two hundred and forty "horses".

And yet the "king" of these two units is the V8 with five hundred horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 100 in just four and a half seconds, and this is the pinnacle forcrossover today. However, with such an engine and in a fairly rich configuration, the Porsche Cayenne will cost you twice as much as the usual configuration: six and a half million rubles.

V6 petrol with a manual transmission will cost you only three million rubles, and therefore this equipment is considered the most popular in the Russian Federation. Also, the diesel engine remains no less in demand; in Asia, as many as seventy percent of the sales of this German crossover come from modifications with such an engine. Owner reviews of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel 3.0) are the most positive. However, only one thing is not encouraging - the price in Russia. It is worth figuring out what options are put in the basic version of this wonderful car.

Functions

As it has already become clear, the most basic version of this German Porsche Cayenne crossover with a three hundred horsepower V6 petrol engine costs three million one hundred thousand rubles in the Russian Federation. It is worth noting that this is already with an automatic gearbox, because cars with a mechanical one in our homeland will not be sold at all. The base price is the price that is offered without the various added options. In order for you to have multifunctional seats, a spare tire and so on in your car, you need to pay extra. Thus, the leather trim of the seats and interior will cost you two hundred and fifty thousand Russian rubles. The windshield heating function of your German car is estimated at twenty-three thousand rubles. The electric trunk drive costs thirty thousand rubles. With the push of a button, it will open and close on its own. Ceramic brakes, which will stop your car very quickly and efficiently, you can purchase additionally for four hundred thousand Russian rubles. The music we talked about above costs two hundred and thirty thousand rubles for the highest quality speakers.

There is a modification of the Cayenne Turbo - this is a very sweet dessert, and such a car already has air suspension in its basic version, and its ground clearance is slightly higher. Of course, the most "juice" under the hood. There is a V8 gasoline engine with a capacity of as much as five hundred horsepower. Such a fast crossover from Porsche needs to be stopped somehow, so brake discs from the Audi R8 were installed for it. Carbon-ceramic brakes are also available on order at a price of six hundred thousand rubles.

A little about the diesel Cayenne. In the Russian Federation, this costs three million two hundred thousand Russian rubles. There is also a model with a naturally aspirated V8 engine with a capacity of four hundred horsepower, it will cost as much as four million one hundred thousand rubles.

A hybrid model, that is, having both a gasoline and an electric engine, will cost as much as four million five hundred thousand rubles in Russia. The most powerful version of the Porsche Cayenne is estimated at six million five hundred thousand Russian rubles. Although the most expensive version will be better than the usual one and there will be more options, however, modifications and functions can be added more and more. Therefore, from the basic version of the Cayenne, you can do the same,same as the Turbo, but the engine will be much weaker. By and large, the best equipment of the German crossover will cost more than eight million rubles.

It is worth noting that in the most basic configuration of the Porsche Cayenne with an automatic transmission there is an Auto Start / Stop function. It automatically turns off the engine at a traffic light in order to save gasoline. It also helps in traffic. Still, it is convenient to start the car - this is also an advantage. One touch of a finger - and the car can go! An interesting innovation is that the car understands when you have a door or trunk open, and does not start the engine. And the most interesting thing is that it will also not start if the driver is not wearing a seatbelt. This, of course, can be easily bypassed, but at first you will have to do it. And yet it's good that your safety in the car is the most important thing. But there is one fact. The engineers and creators of this machine were well aware that not everyone would like this feature in the basic configuration. Therefore, you can just turn it off when buying. And also this system will not work if you have enabled Sport mode.

It is worth recalling that the Porsche Cayenne comes with dual-zone climate control as standard, but you can get two additional zones for an extra charge. If you enable this feature, rear seat passengers can also adjust the airflow.

It is worth noting that this German large crossover has a rem. set. However, it is given only when buying a car in European countries.

Porsche trunk volumeCayenne Diesel S is between 670 and 1780 liters.

German crossovers, which are sold in the Russian Federation for Russian rubles, have always been equipped to the maximum. They had an active suspension called PASM. Thanks to her, the car could choose among three different suspension modes. That's how they were called: Comfort, Normal and Sport. The difference between them has always been strongly felt, especially when comparing the most comfortable and sporty mode. If you turn on the "track" style, the car will become very stiff and will be very good to enter into turns. True, in this mode you can either go on race tracks or on a very flat and straight road. Indeed, in the Comfort style, the car will become very soft, and it will literally “float”.

In addition to this suspension, in the Russian Federation, for a small surcharge in Russian rubles, you could get an option with air suspension, and it already allowed you to adjust the ground clearance, and it had a system for suppressing rolls of the car. However, the last function, it is worth noting, is not put on modifications with a diesel engine. And that's not all: the Porsche Cayenne can be equipped with active all-wheel drive. It starts to work when you pass any long turn. In general, it is very difficult to explain the operation of this system, but in simple words: it will not let you go into a skid. And you will be able to enter corners very easily, as if you were not driving a large and heavy crossover, but a one-ton sports car. In general, reviews of the Porsche Cayenne with a dieselquite positive in terms of handling.

Another option for the German Porsche Cayenne is cruise control. It uses an internal radar to control the distance of the car that is ahead of you. It adjusts the speed based on the speed of the car in front and makes sure that the car and you keep your distance according to the rules of the road. If the vehicle in front of you slows down quickly, the system will also stop very quickly and prevent an accident. There is another important option, which is located right in the rear bumper. This is a security system that recognizes cars in the dead zone at speeds from thirty to two hundred and fifty kilometers per hour and warns you about them. With such a system, you will never have an accident.

Depending on the modification of the engine of the German Porsche Cayenne crossover, it may have brake calipers of different colors. Black is put on diesel versions and conventional modifications of the gasoline Porsche. Silver color - for the Cayenne S and Hybrid models. Red, meaning the power and danger of the caliper, put on the Turbo version, which has a five hundred horsepower engine under its hood. And yellow and the rarest are placed when ordering additional ceramic brakes. Their size is 420 millimeters in front and 380 in the back.

Car acceleration

Dynamic performance "Porsche Cayenne" with a diesel engine turned out to be very worthy. It accelerates from zero to a hundred kilometers per hourin just 8 seconds. In comparison, the previous generation of this crossover model did it a second longer. This was due to a reduction in overall weight and a different gearbox created by Japanese engineers.

If you choose an engine, then the reviews about the Porsche Cayenne (diesel) are much more positive. Therefore, most recommend taking it. It has less power, but this is not a disadvantage, but even an advantage. Because in the Russian Federation the car tax will be much less. Another plus is that the consumption of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel) will be small, namely 9 liters in the city. Compared to a gasoline competitor, this is very, very good. And by the way, it is worth noting that power practically does not solve anything: for a gasoline engine, for a diesel engine, acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour is the same. And the most important plus: it is much quieter than its counterpart. Therefore, reviews of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel 3.0) are quite positive, as many people love quiet engines. And in general, in this car, the sound insulation is at a high level. It is worth noting that sometimes owners complain about expensive parts. However, this is understandable, since they do not break for a very long time. German cars have always been famous for being able to drive a million kilometers and stay on track.

According to reviews of the "Porsche Cayenne" with a diesel engine, it becomes clear that in terms of dynamic capabilities it is close to the old SUVs of this model. Why is that? Previously, cars of this brand were much more powerful, the engine capacity was 5 liters, and it produced approximately 350 horsepower.forces. The old Cayenne could reach a maximum of two hundred and forty km / h, and it accelerated to a hundred in 7 seconds. The new model, released in 2018, accelerates to two hundred and thirty kilometers per hour as much as possible, and to hundreds in 8 seconds. Talk about consumption - just rejoice, because before the Porsche Cayenne burned twenty-one liters of gasoline in the city. In the new "Porsche Cayenne" with a diesel fuel consumption is from eight to thirteen liters in the city. In this case, German engineers have done a great job.

agility

From the reviews of the Porsche Cayenne with a diesel engine, it becomes clear that this car is suitable for ordinary roads in the Russian Federation. However, what do they say about him, if you put the wheel in the hands of an experienced racer on the most famous Nürburgring track? Dmitry Sokolov tested the German crossover on it, and it turned out that the car, even in its best mode for racing tracks, is not at all intended for this. She steered very badly, could not call anywhere at high speed. Therefore, fantasies about the wonderful handling of the Porsche Cayenne were shattered.

Yes, that's pretty embarrassing. However, even without this, the car proves that it can drive and steer well on ordinary roads. The car keeps a straight line, and reacts immediately to any turn by the steering wheel. In this car, it feels like you are driving a crossover, which has been created for many years by the best German engineers. Talking about her banks is just ridiculous.

Competitors

So what do they offer? The German brand BMW in its SUV class andcrossovers can put up two premium models. These are the world-famous X5 and X6. The cheapest of them will be the first option, which costs as much as two million nine hundred nineteen thousand Russian rubles in the Russian Federation. It contains a modification of the engine with a volume of three liters, with a capacity of three hundred horsepower. There is also a diesel version of this model, which comes with a capacity of two hundred and forty-five horsepower, and it will cost three million twenty-eight thousand Russian rubles. This is slightly less than the basic equipment of the German Porsche Cayenne crossovers, but this is not the comparison. It is worth noting that even the most powerful version of the BMW will cost one million three hundred thousand Russian rubles cheaper than the Cayenne. There is no need to be surprised by this. Porsche is a much more prestigious brand, its engines are much better than those of BMW.

If we compare the BMW X6 and X5, the first option will be more expensive than the second, and it also becomes much more expensive than the Cayenne in the basic configuration. However, the S version of Porsche will already overtake them in price.

What about hybrid models? BMW is ahead in this, as their models in this class are much better than those of Porsche. If the former will cost such a model five million rubles, then the second will cost only four million four hundred thousand Russian rubles. Of course, one argument can be made: the power in comparison is very different. The Cayenne has about three hundred and ninety horsepower, while the BMW has almost five hundred.

The German brand Mercedes Benz and its ML model will also be remembered as a direct competitor to PorscheCayenne, since this car costs about two million seven hundred thousand Russian rubles in our homeland. The top-end configuration of this version with a capacity of five hundred horsepower will cost about 5 million Russian rubles.

Another competitor is the Infiniti FX35. He has a modification of the motor with a capacity of as much as three hundred and twenty horsepower, and it is sold in the Russian Federation at a price of two million five hundred thousand Russian rubles. A version of the same car with a capacity of about four hundred horsepower will cost as much as three million five hundred thousand rubles, and this, of course, is much less than the Porsche Cayenne. Which is understandable, the German mark is much more prestigious.

There is still one competitor - the Land Rover brand. Namely, their Range Rover model and Sport modification. The diesel version has an engine capacity of three liters, and the power is exactly two hundred and forty-four horsepower. You can buy this car in the Russian Federation for hard-earned two million eight hundred and eighty eight thousand Russian rubles. The best version with an engine capacity of five liters and a power of three hundred and seventy-five horsepower will cost you exactly three million rubles. There are few drawbacks to the Porsche Cayenne with a diesel engine, but the most noticeable is its price. It is quite high compared to competitors.

Conclusion

As it became clear, the reviews about the Porsche Cayenne (diesel 3.0) are positive, because this modification is the most reasonable choice for all owners and buyers of a German brand car. This car is quitehandles decently, has low fuel consumption, a fairly low power tax, a very high-quality engine and good agility on the roads of the Russian Federation. Yes, for the pocket of people with ordinary work it is quite expensive, but the car is worth it. It is clear that the quality of the interior and exterior will be much better, and the dynamic performance of the car will be much higher than that of competitors. Judging by the feedback from the owners of the Porsche Cayenne (diesel 3.0), most people prefer just such a modification of this car.
