Hello,

First time potential Cayenne buyer so was hoping to get a bit of input.

I am looking at this slightly used S. I do like the build, but not 100% sure on the exterior color. Thoughts on build?

My other option is to order new, but with less options to keep pricing down.

Also looked at the base Cayenne, but just not a fan of the engine. Once I drove the V8 it was hard to go back.

Other car is a 992 C2S.

Great build. It’s missing a trailer hitch if that is important to you.

I’m generally not a fan of white exterior or light colored interior. Color is subjective.

I agree with chassis, great build.

Looks like a nice build. You can have the trailer hitch dealer installed as I did if you need one.

I'd kill for a heated windshield. Would have got one if I had ordered but I bought from dealer stock. Love the thermal/acoustic glass. Premium Plus package is wonderful. Head-up display is too - especially if you're farsighted.

LOL, love the exterior color! The last six vehicles we've bought have been white and the last four metallic white. When I met someone in our homes association who I hadn't met before a few years ago, she said something like "Oh, you're the people with the white cars." I started buying white since it's statistically the safest color (I'm retired from insurance industry) but I just plain like white vehicles. The chalk seat surfaces are nice - makes the interior seem larger and airy. The all black interior in mine is dreary and my least favorite feature.

The 22 inch wheels might be a little harsh. You might want to get the standard 20 inch size for winter. It doesn't have Active Lane Keeping Assist which I love but a lot of people don't care about it. Night Vision might be useful if you drive where there are lots of deer, etc. I've found it more entertaining than useful but it would be important if driving through open range where cattle roam. I would have got front seat massage if I had ordered but I don't know how good it is in the Cayenne ... love it in the Panamera.

Thanks. Trailer hitch is non-issue as I have a truck also.

I have been looking for photos of Carrera white Cayenne's.

I think with window tint it has good potential.

Not a fan of white but have to say Carrera white does look nice on the Cayenne especially with some black accent.

Here is a quick photo with some window tint added by me....

I think it works.

This looks fantastic. I have a 2025 Carrera White GTS Coupe on order with 22" wheels. You can never go wrong with a white vehicle. Enjoy it!

beige and white say middle age for sure, i have carrara w black door handles and roof spoiler w red interior. white over red is a classic color combo going way back. plus, white shows less paint wear than black. my prior audi was metallic black - what a nightmare. there isn’t a bad color really on these vehicles. also i live in seattle where there are so many silver, dark gray and black cars which i get tired of seeing. you would think people living in a place w very dark gray weather might choose brighter colors, but they don’t apparently. white is a popular choice in hot climates because it stays a bit cooler. and the carrara does look bright and crisp side by side w other white cars. i was parked between a regular white cayenne and a white honda friday and my girlfriend pointed out how white our car was against the two other white cars. it is clean and it pops.

Thanks! I think I will go through with it.

Will complement the 911 nicely!

Porsche's metallic white is the least metallic paint I've ever had. Other metallic white vehicles we've bought have been extremely "sparkly" but I had to look closely at our Cayenne to tell that its paint is metallic. A nice aspect of white vehicles is that they can look (a lot) nicer than darker vehicles when dirty. My Cayenne hasn't been bathed in weeks due to the weather. It's filthy. And a nice aspect of its platinum color wheels is that their color closely matches the color of the dirt caked on them.

Filthy 2022 in gentle rain today:

@Woofman i agree the metallic aspect of the carrara is an eye test.

George from MD

Go for it. White cars rule. And they look pretty even when they're dirty or it's raining.

I like the color but I'm biased. The price seems high for a fully optioned car that you may or may not want all the options. Personally, I'd go for the GTS. Again, some bias.

That is an AMAZING spec for being on a dealer lot. It’s so rare to see one so nicely loaded. I would jump at this! I bought a similar spec off a dealer lot as a ‘24 base as my first Porsche. I loved it so much I had FOMO on all the things it didn’t have (V8, air suspension, PTV+, etc.) so I custom ordered a ‘24 Turbo E-Hybrid with almost every option. (And a 992.2 because I am now an addict). Two things I kept the same on my TEH (which is on a boat just thru the Panama Canal): the Carrera white exterior, and Chalk interior. They are perfect. The exterior with black accents has an awesome stormtrooper look, and the chalk+black is about as much as you can lighten the interiors (which can get real dark with dark leathers and black headliners).

Current ‘24 base:



New hotness:



You’re gonna love it!
On tip: PPF the leading edge of the rear wheel arches. It gets stones kicked up by the front tires at an alarming rate. No chips anywhere else (yet).
