F&I Management & Training

The strength of the Porsche brand has underpinned the success of Cayenne since its introduction in 2002. The revised (and much improved) styling gives it a sportier edge, both inside and out, and distances the car a little further away from the VW Touareg with which it shares so much.

The Cayenne is one of the products that most often attracts the ‘Chelsea Tractor’ tag. Even so, it hasn’t stopped significant numbers being sold; almost to the point that it has diluted its exclusivity.

An introduction of a high power hybrid model gives a greener aura to the range (even though CO2 emissions are almost the same as the diesel model). If your budget stretches to £45,000 then a blend of practical performance motoring and one of the World’s most identifiable brands could be yours.

The Cayenne used to be the only option for Porsche drivers that needed more space. The arrival of the Panamera offers those with bigger budgets something a little more exclusive. Then of course there are still some fine alternatives from the Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus (if you must have a hybrid) and Land Rover.
