Porsche Cayenne Diesel: A view of Europe
Externally, you can’t distinguish the diesel version from gasoline atmospheric modification. There are neither special identification marks, nor the notorious abbreviation TDI.The eternal question of choosing a car with a gasoline or diesel engine for a Russian layman seems to be never decided. If the Europeans have made their choice for a long time, then the quality of our diesel fuel, which, as you know, leaves much to be desired, complicates the answer to this question in a hundred times.
From the turbocovers of the Cayenne modification with the V6, Cayenne S and Cayenne Diesel motor are distinguished by vertical overall lights.
Despite this, more and more automakers begin to bring its diesel models to Russia, which slowly but surely capture the audience. In addition, the simple rule of trade the larger the assortment, the more sales no one canceled.
Outwardly, it is impossible to distinguish a diesel version from gasoline. There are neither special identification marks, nor the notorious abbreviation TDI.
The German company Porsche, which in February of the newly left year brought to Russia a diesel modification of the sports crossover Cayenne, which enjoys special respect among fans of luxury all -wheel drive SUVs. But this is a truly significant event, until that moment the German company produced only gasoline cars.
The front panel and doors panels are lined with first -class skin, and in the decoration of the front seats, first -class skin is adjacent to Alcantara. Even blowing deflectors dressed in the skin, but this is an exclusive option worth 71,343 rubles.
Although the real miracle is a real miracle to meet the diesel Porsche Cayenne on Russian roads, we still decided to taste this Kayen and understand whether the diesel sports crossover has a place in Russia.
Externally, you can’t distinguish the diesel version from gasoline atmospheric modification. There are neither special identification marks, nor the notorious abbreviation TDI. A swift silhouette squints with predatory headlights decorated with silver eyebrows. The front bumper is released by lateral air intakes and vertical overall lights. This distinguishes the versions of Cayenne with the V6, Cayenne S or Cayenne Diesel motor. In turn, the barred mouth of the air intake and horizontal LED dimensions are top versions with the sinister console of Turbo.
Already in order, the obsolete instrument panel has not lost its information content. On the central console, the PCM system is located, including navigation, an audio system and an optional TV tuner. If you press the SPORT key on the central tunnel, then the shock absorbers will clamp a little, the automatic transmission will twist each transmission before cutting off, the accelerator pedal will become more sensitive.
Inside Porsche also remained unchanged. The front panel and doors panels are lined with first -class skin, and in the decoration of the front seats, first -class skin is adjacent to Alcantara. And only the budget plastic of the climate installation switches reminds of Kayen’s kinship with VW Touareg.
The predatory squint of the head optics Porsche Cayenne enjoys special authority on Russian roads.
Under the hood of Porsche Cayenne Diesel lives the good old 3.0-liter V6 from the same Tuareg, which, according to official information, was specially reconfigured according to the sports concept of Kayen. The motor is equipped with a direct-rat direct injection system and a turbine with a change in the geometry of a turbine with electron-regulated guide blades. At the exit, all this farm gives 240 hp. and 550 Nm of torque, which is reached at 2000-2250 rpm.
Under the trunk floor there is a compact dok, a set of tools and a compressor.
With a mass of 2240 kg, the SUV accelerates to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, which is better than the indicators of the gasoline Cayenne. With such a diesel version, the diesel version is far from the dynamics of Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne S, but it will not be lost in the stream, and a quick 6-speed automatic transmission, which diesel modification is equipped already in the database, reports all 240 hp. Without delays and jerks. In addition, you can also switch the gears on the steering wheel and using the gearbox selector.
The air suspension increases the clearance of a sports crossover from standard 215 to 271 mm. For lovers of off -road sorties, you can order an optional blocking of the rear differential.
A powerful acceleration dynamics persist up to 160 km/h, after which a heavy crossover gains speed already reluctantly. However, the charm of diesel is not at all in this. Fuel consumption here is his horse! And in this regard, Porsche surpassed all expectations. 8 liters on the highway and about 13 in the city. Envy, owners of 500-horsepower turbals. With such an appetite on one tank, Cayenne Diesel can overcome up to 1000 kilometers, and for three years of use will retain a significant amount.
Optional bi-xenon headlights will cost 74 thousand rubles. Another 71 thousand will have to be laid out by the rear camera, which is hidden in the lid of the trunk and leaves only if necessary, thereby remaining clean in any weather.
It is impossible not to note a greater work to improve sound insulation in preparation for the installation of a diesel engine. Only specials can determine from the cabin that under the hood on heavy fuel. In addition, in the movement there is neither characteristic diesel hollow, nor the usual vibrations on the governing bodies.
A sports crossover, which often does not leave the metropolis, has good off -road abilities.
The chassis Cayenne Diesel did not present surprises. The large SUV filigree draws the given path on the turn and with a grip of the tiger holds to the road surface on a straight line. All necessary weapons are also on board. There is a pneumatic suspension, and the sports regime, and the advanced PSM stabilization system, and the Porsche Trading Management (RTM) permanent all -wheel drive system, which, if necessary, directs torque to where it can be implemented most effectively. For an additional fee, lovers of sorties on the virgin lands can order a rear differential, and drivers are an active control system (PDC), which for 4 thousand euros removes controllability with a crossover on asphalt to completely new heights.
The rear sofa is clearly shaped for two. Passengers of growth above the average here will be crowded.
Porsche Cayenne Diesel A striking example of how, with good dynamic characteristics, a real luxury sports SUV can save a significant amount and time to visit gas stations. This car represents a different philosophy that European motorists adhere to: even an expensive and powerful car can be economical and environmentally friendly. Indeed, often 500-horsepower supercars are simply locked in megacities with their eternal traffic jams. So maybe you should take an example from Europeans and stop wasting excessive liters of precious fuel?
A six -speed machine, which was specially adapted for working with a diesel engine, works fine. Switching occurs smoothly, without delay. For lovers of active driving style, an optional active rolling system (PDCC) is prepared, which for 4 thousand euros removes controllability with a crossover to completely new heights.
