The longevity of a Porsche Cayenne largely depends on how well it's taken care of and the quality of ownership. If you maintain your Cayenne well, it's very possible for it to reach several hundred thousand miles. While some owners have driven their Cayennes for over 250,000 miles according to reports online, it's worth noting that they are not typically used as daily drivers. With regular maintenance, you could reasonably expect at least 150,000 miles out of your Cayenne. With exceptional upkeep, you might reach closer to 225,000 miles. For those who provide exceptional maintenance and a bit of luck, hitting the 300,000-mile mark is possible, but not guaranteed.
I purchased my car in 2004, and it has been very useful to us, racking up around 288,000 miles. While it still runs well, it's not in brand-new condition anymore. I'm in the market for a new vehicle, and although I have a preference for the Cayenne, I am considering other options as well.
I purchased a 2004 Cayenne S back in 2011 as the fourth owner when it had 110,000 miles. Fast forward to today, and it now has 242,000 miles on it. This SUV has been my go-to ride every day and has never disappointed me. While the engine is still in top condition, I've been experiencing some transmission issues over the past few years, yet it hasn't stopped me from driving it. In 2015, we got a 2005 Cayenne S for my husband, which had 95,000 miles at the time. It currently has over 160,000 miles. I'm now exploring options for a newer model to replace the 2004 Cayenne, but I must say, I can't imagine driving any other vehicle.
I own a 2009 Cayenne GTS and I'm excited to put many more miles on it. It currently has 196,000 miles on it!
My car has racked up 115,000 miles, but it feels as smooth as a car with only 30,000 miles on it.
With regular upkeep, the 2020 Porsche Cayenne has the potential to exceed 200,000 miles in its lifespan.
My 2012 Cayenne Turbo really went downhill at 85,000 miles. I had problems with the Chassis System and a bunch of other issues that weren't covered by the warranty. I've been a loyal Porsche owner for a long time and this was my third Cayenne turbo, so I was pretty let down. I loved how the car handled on the road and I miss how versatile it was. It was the ideal addition to my collection of Porsche vehicles.
I have a 2004 Cayenne S with more than 190,000 miles/306,000 kilometers on it, and I reside in Ontario, Canada, where the weather is consistently harsh. Despite that, my SUV is still going strong. As a mechanic, I drive it hard, almost like it's been stolen, and although it does have some electrical issues, with proper research and creative problem-solving, you can tackle them yourself. The SUV is relatively straightforward to work on at home – changing the brakes can be done in under 15 minutes each, and oil changes are simple once you navigate through removing the plastic covers. Other than the electrical glitches, the SUV is quite reliable.
I purchased a 2005 Cayenne S back in 2015 when it had 63,000 miles on it. Fast forward to 2021, and it has 111,000 miles on it, but it's still running smoothly. I religiously change the engine oil every 5,000 miles and started doing a yearly transmission fluid flush once I reached 100,000 miles. Hands down, this is the best vehicle I have ever owned.
I currently have 282,000 miles on my 2006 Porsche, and I am absolutely planning to buy another one in the future.
The 2014 Cayenne diesel turbo with 150,000 miles had its oil cooler and AdBlue pump replaced recently. It still drives beautifully, but I haven't come across any SUV that surpasses it currently, which is regrettable.
