Cayenne: Gen 2 Turbo or Gen 3 S?

[tomw2000]

I'm pondering next family vehicle.

And looking at Cayennes. Interested in thoughts and comments from those who've owned/driven the following:

Early 2018 (gen 2?) Turbo or later 2018 (gen 3?) S.

Which would you go for and why?

So you’re talking about last of the old shape Cayenne Turbo vs an new model S ?

I’ve got a 2017 S Diesel and have two or three loan Cayenne’s from my OPC trying to convince me to do the change. Personally I really like the older car...I think it’s better built and certainly if you buy one with the 18 way seats they are better than the equivalent in the new car...they don’t look as sporty but they are much more comfortable and equally supportive. Admittedly a big part of me not changing is that they don’t do a Diesel in the new car but I just don’t think the new one is that much better to drive and a well specced Turbo would be fantastic.

Exactly that yes and thanks for the feedback.

Good stuff thanks. I’m coming from an Amg E63S wagon. I know all about harsh ride

Good to know the later gen 2 interiors won’t feel too dated. I don’t think I’d be too bothered about missing out on all the gen 3 touch screen gubbins.

All food for thought anyway.

The second gen turbo won!

What did you think of the differences in the two cars ?

TBH I only drove the gen 2 turbo. The reason for my original query was about would the interior/etc feel dated, but it's all good IMO.
