Porsche Cayenne S Diesel

Porsche has bolstered its SUV line-up with the arrival of the Cayenne S Diesel.

Unlike the regular Cayenne Diesel, which uses a 3.0 litre, six-cylinder engine with a single turbocharger, the new ‘S’ version features a 4.2 litre biturbo V8.

The increased displacement and extra cylinders mean dramatically boosted outputs and, as a result, performance is on a par with the petrol-powered Cayenne S. Efficiency is significantly better though, as would be expected.

In Germany it’ll cost €77,684 including VAT, while for buyers in Ireland the bill is going to be €101,150, thanks to a VAT rate of 23% and Vehicle Registration Tax of 32%.
