The 2007-2010 Porsche Cayenne Turbo (957 generation) is a high-performance luxury SUV, a pioneering vehicle that helped redefine the segment. It was often reviewed as surprisingly capable off-road and immensely powerful on-road, with a commanding presence and Porsche's signature handling. It's famous for being one of the first truly sporty SUVs, but also infamous among some purists for diluting the Porsche brand's sports car image. Today, it remains a potent and comfortable used luxury SUV, well-suited for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance, practicality, and all-weather capability, or for those who appreciate its slightly brutish charm.
Owning a 2007-2010 Porsche Cayenne Turbo (957) entails significant operating expenses. Reliability concerns often center on the complex air suspension, coolant pipes, and transfer case, leading to expensive repairs. Maintenance costs are high due to specialized parts and labor; for example, spark plug changes can be costly due to engine bay access. Insurance costs are typically above average given the vehicle's performance, luxury designation, and higher repair costs. Fuel consumption is also notable for the V8 twin-turbo engine. These factors contribute to a higher overall cost of ownership compared to many other SUVs.
