Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne is a mid-size luxury SUV available in Hybrid and Turbo trim levels. The base Cayenne is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the Cayenne S grants the driver a 4.8-liter V8 engine that produces 400 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne Turbo utilizes the same engine but adds direct fuel injection to boost numbers up to 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne, Cayenne S, and Cayenne Turbo all achieve an EPA estimated 22 mpg highway. A hybrid trim is also available that gets an EPA estimated 20 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The Cayenne Hybrid comes equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 hybrid engine that produces 380 hp. All Cayenne models come equipped with AWD and have an 8-speed automatic transmission, except for the base Cayenne that still offers a 6-speed manual. Options include high-end surround sound, Porsche Communication Management, lane change assist, rear-view camera, and rear seat entertainment. Safety features are comprised of advanced braking, stability management, and anti-theft protection. The Cayenne comes with a 4-years/50,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Porsche Cayenne Sport Utility

The Porsche Cayenne represents the ultimate in SUV performance and capability. All are agile, quick, able handlers that rival many sports cars, but also offer the versatility of being able tow between 6,000 and 7,700 pounds. With four trim levels available--Base, S, Turbo and S Hybrid--there's a Cayenne to suit all enthusiasts in the range from mild to wild. With a base price of just $46,700, getting into a Cayenne rather than a BMW or Mercedes-Benz SUV is a real option.

What's new for 2011?

The Porsche Cayenne SUV has been tastefully renovated for 2011, with a slightly longer wheelbase, more elegant, organic exterior sheetmetal and a weight savings of 400 pounds thanks to a generous helping of aluminum in the doors, hood, and chassis, a new 8-speed gearbox and lighter engines.

Model Strengths

• Several powerful engine options
• luxurious interiors
• excellent handling
• high people carrying and cargo capacity

Model Review

First introduced in 2003 to lukewarm applause, the Cayenne quickly silenced its critics by showing itself a serious performer. For 2011, the popular Porsche is redesigned in and out, and there's even more to like in 2011.
