    Overview
    The Cayenne was first introduced in the Porsche’s line-up about a decade ago and is the only SUV on the market of focused sports cars. Although purists of the designer sports brand will argue that Porsche has diluted its image somewhat with the introduction of this SUV, they also admit that it is a best seller and bringing in cash to pay for the development of its other lines.

    It is very much a family vehicle and one that is exceptionally practical that manages to incorporate all of the personality of the brand. Porsche are so pleased with the success of this model line, that they are adding more variations to it. 2013 saw the launch of the diesel model, and now in 2014 the new Cayenne Turbo S giving us 50 hp more than the Turbo. Learn more about the power of the Cayenne at porschetowson.com.


    Looks wise from the exterior – if you were to gift-wrap a smoother practical, modern vehicle image crossed with the rough lines of the 911’s curves, and you would make the Cayenne baby. Although it looks odd compared to other conventional SUVs, nevertheless it does attract attention in the supermarket car parking lot.

    Exterior
    Currently there are seven variants in the Cayenne range, including the basic model, powered by a 300- galloping horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine; the Cayenne Diesel launched in 2013, giving a 245- total power 3 liter V-6 turbo diesel engine; the Cayenne S, will give 400  full horsepower from a 4.8 liter V-8; the Cayenne S Hybrid, excellent for 380 galloping power from its match of electric powered motor and a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6; and the Cayenne Turbo, the speed master of the group, rated at having the galloping power of 500 horses from its dual-turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8. New for 2014 is the 550-hp Turbo S.

    For the new Turbo S, it gets from zero to 60 miles in 4.3 seconds and has a maximum speed of 176 mph; base Cayenne’s are quick, getting to 60 miles in 7.4 seconds  run by sophisticated Tip Tronic S automatic transmission, or 7.1 seconds running with six-speed manual.The basic models are the only ones fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox; when driving leave the shift to an 8 -speed Tip tronic automatic paired with manual control.

    Interior
    Needless to say that, within the model line-up, all have comfortable standardized seating, which is comfy and well supported for the back. In the sportier models, the drive can be a bit on the stiff side but if you install the Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management (PASM) air-suspension system it improves road handling while also engendering a superior ride quality.

    Furthermore, each of the five variants does come in unique designs and set of features, along with a variety of trims, multifaceted customizations and optional upgrades.

    The 2014 Cayenne costs from $50,000, but Turbo models goes up to as much $150k with numerous addons and upgrades, and the best Turbo S starts at $146,975. Going with the basic model you will get Bluetooth, iPod and USB input, a journey planner, sunroof, and condensation free windshield too. More specific navigation, a sky sunroof, and a heated windshield are some options to add to also.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
