Porsche Cayenne Mileage

Engine Type: The Cayenne is equipped with a 3.0-litre diesel engine producing 353 bhp and 500 nm torque. The GTS variants get a more powerful 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine making 500 bhp and 660 nm torque. The smaller displacement engine offers better efficiency.

Transmission: The Cayenne uses an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission rather than manual. Automatics provide smooth shifts but tend to give slightly lower mileage than manuals.

Driving Style: Aggressive starts, sudden acceleration, and heavy braking reduce mileage. Smooth, gradual acceleration and coasting boost efficiency. Sport modes alter throttle response and shift timing to keep the engine revving higher, lowering mileage compared to efficiency-tuned normal driving modes.

Vehicle Load: Carrying more passengers and cargo increases the vehicle's weight, putting greater demand on the engine to move it and lowering mileage. Removing excess load lightens the vehicle.

Terrain and Roads: Hilly, uneven terrain increases strain on the drivetrain, decreasing fuel efficiency. Highway driving offers better efficiency than frequent start-stop city driving.

Extreme Temperatures: Extreme temperatures, both high and low, make it harder for the engine to operate at peak efficiency, hampering mileage.

Maintenance: Low tyre pressure, worn brakes, and old spark plugs reduce mechanical efficiency, impacting mileage. Proper maintenance improves it.

Driving Aids: Systems like adaptive cruise control and auto start-stop can help enhance mileage in certain conditions.
