Used Porsche Cayenne (2010-2017) – design

Acid green brake calipers on the E-Hybrid are an interesting touch, but it’s still a controversial car in the looks department.

Evo rating
  • Impressive poise across the entire range; blistering performance from the powerful petrol models
  • Interior and structure feels dated; not a looker

The Cayenne has never been a pretty car, and despite the second-gen model improving on the frumpy original, it’s still not a looker. Despite some similar elements, it doesn’t look half as good as the smaller Macan.

You can tell the plug-in S E-Hybrid model from other Cayennes by its acid green brake callipers (a lurid hue borrowed from the 918 Spyder) and the green background to its badges.

The GTS shares much of its front end with the Cayenne Turbo but adds a Sport Design package comprising thicker side sills and flared arches. Unique 20-inch black alloy wheels are another GTS signifier, as are the badges on the front doors. 

The GTS gets the most distinctive interior, too, with ‘GTS’ embossed Alcantara and leather sports seats and very nicely executed stitching on the dashboard. The whole thing can be ordered with an appropriately loud ‘go faster’ paintjob as well.
