Cayenne or Kaiyan?

[SanGenesis]

Cayenne is the correct spelling, which is a model of Porsche. Related introduction: Introduction: The Cayenne adopts a 5-seat design, no different from a regular SUV, yet the style remains distinctly Porsche-esque, featuring a dual-tone interior with leather-wrapped door panels, seats, steering wheel, and gear lever, complemented by aluminum-white interior trim. Design: The 3-dial instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control for the front seats, multifunction steering wheel, a 10-speaker audio system, and an LCD multi-information display on the center console are all standard equipment. The overall impression is consistent with the current lineup, offering a slightly cool yet luxurious and refined feel.

As a car enthusiast, I know this topic all too well! When the Porsche Cayenne first entered the Chinese market in 2002, it was indeed mistranslated by the media with names like Kayen, Kaiyan, and even KaYan popping up. But the manufacturer quickly standardized the naming, using Cayenne uniformly in official documents, manuals, and 4S dealerships. What's most impressive about this car is how it packs the sports car DNA of the 911 into an SUV body—its air suspension makes going over speed bumps feel like stepping on cotton, and the PDK transmission downshifts faster than you can blink. I remember once driving a friend's Cayenne on mountain roads; the moment the four-wheel-drive system automatically distributed torque during a turn, it was pure harmony between man and machine. Nowadays, if you see one labeled Kaiyan on the road, it's most likely a badge slapped on by parallel importers—don't be fooled!

When our family was changing cars, we specifically researched this issue. After visiting several 4S stores, we noticed that Porsche showrooms all displayed 'Cayenne', and the salesperson mentioned that 'Kaiyan' was a term used by some used car dealers ten years ago. We ultimately chose the 3.0T version, and the most surprising thing was that it's even more fuel-efficient than sedans, with highway cruising consuming around 9 liters per 100km. The design is exceptionally practical: the air suspension can be raised for rough roads, the trunk fits a stroller and camping gear, yet the steering feels as light as a toy car. At parent-teacher meetings, it's often mistaken for a million-dollar luxury car, though the entry-level version can actually be purchased for just over 800,000 yuan. As for the name, just remember—stick with 'Cayenne' and you won't go wrong.

Having handled hundreds of customer inquiries, this question comes up every month. Porsche has never officially used the name 'Kaiyan'—all sales documents and contracts only state 'Cayenne.' Interestingly, customers fall into two categories: younger buyers focus on the 4.0T twin-turbo in the Turbo version, while middle-aged buyers prioritize the pure electric range of the hybrid model. When choosing a car, don’t be misled by names—popping the hood to check the engine code is more reliable. Cayenne chassis numbers always start with 9Y. Current inventory offers significant discounts, with the hybrid version saving over 30,000 in purchase tax.
