$124,410

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne range of configurations is currently priced from $119,990.

Our most recent review of the 2023 Porsche Cayenne resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson had this to say at the time: My biggest gripe with the previous Cayenne was that it was priced so much higher than its rivals, and it just didn't have enough standard gear to compensate - you were really paying for that badge. Too many features were offered as very pricey options.

This is what Tim Nicholson liked most about this particular version of the Porsche Cayenne: Improved powertrain line-up, Still fun to drive, Cabin tech and quality

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

The base Cayenne uses a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an output of 260kW/500Nm.

Porsche has swapped out the turbocharged V6 in the Cayenne S for a tweaked version of the its 4.0-litre V8, which pumps out 349kW and 600Nm.

The E-Hybrid plug-in hybrid's electric motor gets a 30kW boost, and with the six-cylinder petrol engine, offers a total system output of 346kW and 650Nm.

The Turbo GT Coupe's V8 gets a 14kW power boost of power and now pumps out 485kW.

Porsche Cayenne 2023 FAQs

Does the air suspension in the 2005 Porsche Cayenne S fail over time?

Any vehicle with air suspension can suffer failures of this technology, especially if they’ve been used hard in an off-road setting (which the original Cayenne was very well suited to). The good news is that air suspension failure should be relatively easy to spot as the car will settle into its lowest position if the suspension is letting the air out, say, overnight.

For the record, this generation Cayenne was only fitted with air suspension if you bought either of the turbocharged versions (the Turbo and Turbo S). The entry level Cayenne S was fitted with entirely conventional steel springs.

Other things to watch out for are coolant leaks from the plastic plumbing under the intake manifold while big, heavy, powerful cars like the Cayenne can be hard on tyres and brake pads. So check those things still have some life left in them, or budget for replacements.

Aurion to replace my Maxima?

Thanks for the email. Hopefully I can keep this simple. 

I would strongly recommend a Toyota Aurion V6 $30,990 drive away or the Toyota Camry $28,990 drive away (pricing current September 2015). 

Unless you want the acceleration of the V6 I would opt for the four cylinder Camry, which is spritely enough and will also deliver good open road fuel economy. 

For the type of driving you're doing you do not need the hybrid Camry. 

Also, the base model Camry on the smaller wheels and Michelin tyres will be much more comfortable and a touch quieter than the dearer Camry models that come with sports tyres. 

In both the Aurion and Camry you will be protected by seven airbags and a five star safety rating. A rear camera is standard on both models too. 

The servicing costs are among the cheapest in the business. 

Furthermore the intervals are longer than other Toyotas (15,000km rather than 10,000km) and the capped pricing lasts four years or 75,000, whichever comes first (other Toyotas are three years, 60,000km). 

This was done to help Aurion and Camry appeal to fleets. 

However, your warranty is the same as other Toyotas at three years/100,000km. 

Dealership extended warranties are generally not worth the paper they are printed on, so save your money if you're offered an extension. 

Please check you're comfortable when driving the Aurion and Camry. They have ample room inside and a lot of travel in the front seat rails. 

Meanwhile, you're right in your assumption that Toyotas are regarded as a premium over Holden and Ford. The price is cheap because Toyota is trying to keep the factory running until 2017. It is in effect making a loss with each Camry it sells. 

Toyota also has a vast rural dealer network so hopefully you're never far away from help should you need it. 

Lastly, the Camry was at $26,990 drive away for much of last year and the price may limbo to that level again in the lead up to the end of the year or early next, to clear 2015 stock. This is not an inside tip, merely an educated guess on my part.

Good luck and let me know if I can help any further. I hope I'm still driving big distances in my 80s.
