Porsche Cayenne. Below is the relevant introduction about the Cayenne: 1. Interior Layout: The style still maintains a completely Porsche-like feel, with a dual-tone interior in the same tone. The door panels, seats, steering wheel, and gear lever are all wrapped in genuine leather, featuring aluminum-white interior trim, a three-ring instrument cluster, independently adjustable climate control for the left and right front seats, and a multifunction steering wheel. 2. Exterior: In terms of appearance, the Cayenne's headlights and radiator grille retain Porsche's traditional style. The car is 1940mm wide but only 1690mm tall. The ground clearance is 273mm, with a maximum approach angle of 32 degrees. The long-travel suspension springs enhance off-road performance, which is a very unique feature of Porsche's SUVs.

I've been driving a Porsche Cayenne for three years. This car is actually the same as the Kayan, just different names for the same model. Kayan was the early transliteration, and later the official name was unified as Cayenne. The biggest feature of this car is the perfect combination of sports car genes and SUV practicality. The acceleration gives you that thrilling push-back feeling, and it handles corners so steadily, completely on par with a sports car. In terms of space, three adults can sit comfortably in the back, and the trunk can fit luggage for the whole family. However, the fuel consumption is indeed high, averaging at least 15 liters per 100 km in the city, and maintenance costs aren't cheap either. Compared to similarly priced models, the BMW X5 leans more towards comfort, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a more luxurious interior, but the driving pleasure of the Cayenne is truly unmatched.

While researching luxury SUVs recently, I focused on the Cayenne and discovered it was previously known as the Cayenne in China. As a representative of German performance SUVs, its handling performance was the most surprising. The steering wheel is as precise as a scalpel, and the chassis tuning is both resilient and smooth. The all-wheel-drive system handles rain and snow with stability, and the 3.0T engine accelerates crisply. In terms of features, the air suspension is particularly practical, automatically adjusting height based on road conditions. Of course, the price is indeed on the high side—the base model's sticker price could buy two ordinary SUVs. It's advisable to compare dealership promotions carefully when selecting options.

My friend picked up a Cayenne last week and found its greatest strength is versatility after a test drive. The ample safety features make daily school runs secure, while the L2 driving assistance offers peace of mind. On weekend road trips, engaging Sport mode instantly transforms it into a performance car, with its 8-speed transmission shifting lightning-fast. Its towing capacity is impressive too, easily handling small boats or trailers. Compared to the Audi Q7 and Range Rover, the Cayenne trails slightly off-road but dominates in on-road handling. The old 'Kaiyan' nickname is rarely used now - it's universally called Cayenne. For used buyers, it's advisable to avoid pre-2015 models.

When I was changing cars the year before last, I hesitated between the Cayenne and the Maserati Levante. Only after test driving did I realize the Cayenne is more balanced overall. The seats are much more comfortable than expected—no backache even after four hours on the highway. The infotainment system responds quickly with intuitive logic, and the tactile feedback buttons feel top-notch. Don’t skimp on the optional night vision assist—it’s a lifesaver for mountain roads at night. The best part is the resale value; a five-year-old Cayenne depreciates 20% less than its peers. However, while the hybrid version saves fuel, its acceleration isn’t as thrilling as the pure gasoline model. The older Cayenne did have design flaws, but the new model has addressed them all.
