2018 Cayenne bets?......

[Fokker]

We'll be fine. Porsche are using the new 4 litre diesel v8 in the Panamera and I'd imagine that'll go into the Cayenne. What with ad blue, diesel is pretty clean. It's the older diesel stuff that needs to be scrapped.

You can just make out the positioning of the rear red strip towards the end of this vid, underneath the disguise.

So I am guessing Frankfurt in September for the first showing, any thoughts ?

Has anyone put a deposit down on the new Cayenne ?

Thanks all

Very similar to the outgoing model though in design.

Yes, I would think definitely Frankfurt.

To be honest, despite the fact that it's gonna be too long for my garage, I'm still enjoying mine!
(which is a good job really).

Me too, just getting a little bored of sitting in the same place for the past 5 years, lets see

I am not so sure about Frankfurt....I've read nothing about production being ceased ? Last I was told by OPC they're expecting cars to reach the UK in June next year.

They only launched the Platinum version of the S in March and I doubt they'd do that for four months ?

First ride/drive by Mr Frankel for Autocar.

I think I read somewhere that it is supposed to be about 200kg lighter than the current one .... and that it is likely they will produce a Turbo S E-Hybrid or whatever it is called 680hp version

Could be a great car for people who need to tow stuff etc

Mmhhh according to the above article 60kg lighter - so much for that then ...

[Cobnapint]

Looks like it'll be the same length as the present one too. If the wheelbase is going to be 100mm less than the Bentayga and Q7, that makes it 2895, which is what it is now.

And also no seven seats as have seen speculated.

Boot is significantly bigger according to Mr Frankel so am guessing rear space may be less generous.

[Fokker]

i suppose petrol will be more popular than in the previous versions now that diesel is in effect being phased out by both countries and manufacturers. It'll be interesting to see what the take up on both is.

I'll be inclined to take a Hybrid next I think.

[Koln-RS]

The Hybrids (Cayenne and Panamera) always seem to get poor reviews, but presumably the tax concessions will be attractive to some.

I'd still go Diesel for this type of vehicle. A big SUV isn't a sports car, it's the smooth low to mid-range power delivery that suits it. And of course the fuel economy.

Looks have hardly changed - and still not as pretty as the Macan

[Cobnapint]

Agree. The Cayenne works best with a diesel up front.

I don't think there's much point in jumping this early into a hybrid, the tech is still relatively new.
Best let science and technology evolve until we are at a position where most, if not all, of it's downsides, when applied to a Cayenne, have been resolved.

[RDMcG]

Looks like a modest evolution to me though interior will be much nicer. I thought it would be longer to dintinguish it from Macan. I fancy the V8 though. Have one on order.

Further to this, Autoexpress are reporting it's 50mm longer.

Love how they have covered the consoles and dash.... it will be almost identical to the Pan so why bother LOL.
