The 2024 Cayenne S has undergone a midcycle refresh, but let's cut to the chase, shall we? The controversial change in the interior is the replacement of the traditional gauge cluster with a 12.6-inch curved display. Now, some purists might argue that it takes away from the Porsche uniqueness of the cabin, but let me tell you, the information is top-notch and the screen is fast and active. Porsche claims that customers love it, and it's the same screen you'll find in the updated 992.2 911. As for the infotainment screen, it's large, fast, and simply great. You can even get an auxiliary screen for the passenger, but honestly, I think it's a waste of money. Just let them use their phone, for crying out loud!
But let's not forget about the real star of the show: the driving experience. The Cayenne S is equipped with some impressive electromechanical systems that enhance its performance. We're talking adaptive dampers, air suspension, 48-volt adaptive sway bars, rear differential, and rear steer. It's like a smorgasbord of driving delights. And boy, does it deliver. The Cayenne S rides like a dream, with excellent body control and a powerful V8 engine that sounds absolutely amazing. It may not be a sports car, but it's as close as you can get in the SUV world.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Is it worth the hefty price tag? Well, that's a tough one. The Cayenne S is undeniably a top-tier SUV, but it does come at a premium. And here's the kicker: it falls short in terms of functionality compared to some of its rivals. Sure, it's got great driving dynamics, but if you're looking for a family hauler with ample storage space and practicality, you might want to consider other options. But if you're a Porsche enthusiast with deep pockets and a burning desire for the best driving experience in the SUV segment, then the Cayenne S is the one for you. It's a mechanical masterpiece that combines luxury, performance, and that unmistakable Porsche DNA.
