I've been driving the Porsche Cayenne for several years, and its Chinese name is 'Ka Yan.' I remember the salesperson emphasized this name when I first bought the car, stating it was the official translation, derived from the phonetic transcription of the original name. The word 'cayenne' in English means chili pepper, symbolizing passion and power, which fits well with the car since the Cayenne is a high-performance SUV that feels exhilarating to drive. The Cayenne is incredibly popular in the Chinese market, with many people simply referring to it as 'Ka Yan' without even mentioning its English name. Since its launch in 2002, it has become one of the benchmarks for luxury SUVs, offering top-tier handling and decent comfort. In daily conversations, people often discuss topics related to the Cayenne, such as modifications or maintenance. I feel the name is simple, memorable, and premium, making the Porsche brand more accessible to ordinary families. In short, the Chinese name 'Ka Yan' is deeply rooted in the automotive community.
