Car Review: 2007 Porsche Cayenne Facelift

Porsche has been successful with the Cayenne SUV ever since its launched in 2004. I got behind the wheel of the all new Cayenne Facelift. Its definitely an improvement compared to the old face.

The Cayenne is cheaper than the old model with an entry level price tag of £40,000.

As I got into the Cayenne I as if there was a reasonable amount of cabin room. The driving position is good but the electric drivers seat isn't exactly perfect. The actual seat itself moves up and down only. I tried moving the seat left to right, up and down but nothing happened. The interior is well laid out and everything is within easy reach of the driver.

What wasn't so good apart from the seats was the small boot/trunk and poor leg/kneeroom. The rear passengers and front passengers have to compromise on legroom. On the plus side the SUV looks great in any environment.

Pros: Well laid out interior, comfortable seats, looks

Cons: Fuel economy, small boot/trunk, rear leg/kneeroom
