The Porsche That Doesn't Need Gas

All new 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel! So for some time now the Europeans always gets the better end of the deal by getting models we can't over here in the States! Watch out, we just got the Cayenne Diesel! Yeah I know, the Diesel doesn't have that much horsepower. Its only pushing 240 hp but remember its a diesel, so that means 406 torque!! You might be thinking, 'Wow I should be hitting 60 pretty quick...' Well not quite at 7.2 seconds. The ups of having a diesel is that your mpg is just amazing at 19 city and 29 highway, way better then the V-6 at only 16/23. Still thinking maybe you'll just stick with the regular model, but wait, the price is only $56,725! Pretty good deal if you ask me.


 So what does it feel like driving around a Cayenne diesel? It's still a Porsche, steering is still smooth, grip is just insane for a suv. Diesel's have that distinct noise, but for Porsche you wont hear any of that. Most of the new cars these days have the start/stop system to enhance fuel efficiency, but why put a start/stop system in cars like there? If you are able to afford this car, I'm pretty sure you're able to afford the gas.


The down side of having this amazing diesel is that you will need to refill the exhaust system with AdBlue Nox-reducing agent every 10,000 miles. Upside is you get a maximum range of 740 miles per fill up! Do you know what that means? You can drive from LA to Las Vegas and back and then make a trip back again on the same tank!

The clearance is about 10 inches so you'll be able to get over most stuff when you're out in the woods.



So it's a Diesel, with AWD, only a 5 passenger car though. It is a 8 speed automatic with tiptonic. $56,725 is your base price. Would I get it? Really depends on what I'm looking for, if I'm in a market for a diesel then this would be the first choice SUV for me.
