When Porsche unveiled the Cayenne in 2002, it marked a seismic shift for the storied German marque. While controversial among purists at launch, the Cayenne quickly proved to be a masterstroke, single-handedly saving Porsche from potential financial peril and ushering in a new era of performance SUVs. It brought Porsche's engineering prowess—honed over decades of sports car development—to a more practical, family-friendly segment, without sacrificing the brand's core values of dynamic driving and meticulous build quality. The second-generation (92A) Cayenne, introduced in 2010, refined this formula, offering a lighter, more efficient, and even more engaging driving experience than its predecessor, solidifying its place as the benchmark for sporting utility vehicles. This 2017 Cayenne S represents the pinnacle of the second-generation's mid-cycle refresh, boasting the potent 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that replaced the naturally aspirated V8 in the "S" model. Paired with a smooth automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers robust performance that belies its SUV stature, making it equally adept at highway cruising or navigating winding backroads. With 72,000 miles, this example has been enjoyed as intended, showcasing its enduring quality and the robust engineering synonymous with the Porsche name. This Cayenne S offers an opportunity to experience Porsche performance and luxury in a versatile and capable package.
