2011 Porsche Cayenne is Better than Ever

Pin IT

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne is a SUV for those who would rather be driving a sports car. The 2011 Porsche Cayenne is better than ever, though the idea of an SUV that carries the badge of Stuttgart’s iconic sports-car maker is still strange. 2011 Porsche Cayenne is a luxurious, sexy and powerful alternative to a minivan or the ho-hum SUVs that make up the luxury midsize pack — and now there’s even a hybrid model for drivers concerned about fuel economy or the environment.

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne has been completely redesigned and made far more refined and street-friendly. If you can live with the high price tag and a truncated trunk, 2011 Porsche Cayenne is definitely a top pick. How much is a Porsche Cayenne 2011? Unless you’re rolling in money, the 2011 Porsche Cayenne steep sticker price is quite a wake-up call.

At $46,700, the 2011 Porsche Cayenne base price might seem like a steal for the Porsche name — but it can skyrocket to more than $100,000 depending on trim (and if you opt for the 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo model, that’s even before you add options). Plus, the all-new 2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid starts at $67,700, which makes it the most expensive hybrid SUV on the market.

Of course, for that cash you’re getting genuine Porsche performance, status and style with the practicality of an SUV. Plus, if you go for the hybrid, a Porsche Cayenne S review say it sacrifices surprisingly little in the way of performance for its gas/electric powertrain. The hybrid model isn’t the only big news for the 2011 Porsche Cayenne.

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne comes in several trims: the base Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and all-new Cayenne S Hybrid. For 2011, Porsche has dropped the super-powerful Porsche Cayenne GTS and Turbo S models. All 2011 Porsche Cayenne models come with all-wheel drive while a diesel model is available only in Europe.

Porsche has redesigned all 2011 Porsche Cayenne models with updated styling, more power, and even better fuel economy. The new 2011 Porsche Cayenne model has a sleeker exterior design, but it’s actually larger than the previous model. That means more cargo space and room for rear-seat passengers — a plus for families.

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne has also shaved about 400 pounds off its curb weight, which makes it more agile and fuel-efficient overall. Take a look at the 2011 Porsche Cayenne and you’re likely to notice how much smaller it looks.

This is actually an optical illusion inspired by the Cayenne’s lower nose and raked D-pillar, as this Porsche is fractionally longer, wider and taller. Yet the 2011 Porsche Cayenne is also a stunning 397 pounds lighter thanks to the deletion of its former dual-range transfer case (meant to permit serious off-roading) and the use of lightweight body panels.

Competitors for the 2011 Porsche Cayenne

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne biggest shortfall is definitely its price, especially if you start sampling from the extensive list of options. The 2011 Porsche Cayenne also doesn’t offer much cargo capacity. While competitors can’t match its sheer power, there are a few that might be perfectly acceptable for buyers who just want a plush daily driver.

The BMW X5, Infiniti FX50 and Range Rover Sport offer interesting alternatives for the V8-powered 2011 Porsche Cayenne, while the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK350 compare to the entry-level Cayenne V6. Anyone considering the 2011 Porsche Cayenne should also look at the Volkswagen Touareg. Since the two are platform-mates, the Touareg’s mechanics are identical to the base 2011 Porsche Cayenne.
