The second-generation Cayenne (958) arrived for the 2011 model year as a lighter, sharper, and more luxurious SUV. Porsche shaved nearly 400 lbs from the curb weight, completely redesigned the interior with Panamera-inspired switchgear, and refined the exterior styling. The Turbo model featured a potent 4.8L twin-turbo V8, initially producing 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, with power climbing to 520 hp in 2015 and 570 hp for the Turbo S.
The 958 Turbo's appeal is its incredible performance envelope. It can sprint to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds while offering seating for 5 and genuine utility. These SUVs have now depreciated heavily from their six-figure sticker prices, placing them within reach of many enthusiasts. This value proposition is what drives the market, offering near-supercar acceleration in a practical package that's more modern than the first generation but less complex than the current model.
With an average sale price around $34,000, the 958 Turbo sits firmly in bargain territory. However, the market spread is vast, reflecting condition and mileage. The cheapest examples are often neglected and carry the risk of massive repair bills, which keeps values in check. Well-maintained, low-mileage cars, especially later Turbo S models from 2016-2018, command prices toward the top of the market.
Buying Tips
- Check for transfer case issues, a known weak point. Symptoms include hesitation or shuddering under acceleration, especially from a stop or in turns.
- Inspect the 4.8L V8 for oil leaks. Common culprits include timing cover seals and sheared camshaft adjuster bolts.
- Test the air suspension thoroughly. Ensure the car sits level and cycles through all height settings smoothly, as compressor or airbag failures are costly.
- Scrutinize the service history. These are complex vehicles with high running costs, and deferred maintenance can lead to catastrophic bills for the next owner.
- Brakes are a significant wear item. Standard iron rotors are expensive to replace, and Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) cost thousands per axle.
Observed sales for the 958 Cayenne Turbo range from $6,000 for project-level vehicles to $86,000 for pristine, late-model examples.
