Compare Porsche Cayenne repair quotes from specialist garages

Porsche is known for its high-performance luxury sports vehicles - the best-selling model being the Cayenne. The company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, created the world's first hybrid vehicle in 1899. It was called the Lohner-Porsche and was driven by electricity with a fuel-powered generator to charge the batteries, though it never made it into production.

Porsche continues to break new ground to this day; in 2017, the Cayenne S Diesel model earned the Guinness World Record for towing the heaviest vehicle, pulling an enormous Airbus A380 aeroplane weighing 285 tonnes.

When the Cayenne was initially unveiled, it was met with outrage from car enthusiasts worldwide, who believed Porsche was sullying its reputation by creating a Sports Utility Vehicle. But once people got behind the wheel, it didn't take long for the idea of a performance SUV to catch on.

The Cayenne combines the speed and power of a sports car with the versatility of a much larger vehicle. It has won numerous awards, including Good Housekeeping's 'Best New Family Car - Midsize Luxury SUV'. Porsche has issued a few recalls for the Cayenne for problems relating to the rear axle lock nuts, engine cylinder bores and steering column, but reliability is generally decent.
