    Would you pick a diesel or gas engine?
    -same power 0-120kph
    -gas has higher top speed (300hp, 400NM at 3,000rpm)
    -diesel has more powerful low end torque (240hp, 550NM at 2,000rpm)
    -diesel has better fuel efficiency (recommendation is to only use V-power diesel) NO BIODIESEL
    -gas has start stop tech.
    -diesel engine has less noise than the gas at high revs

    already made a choice, just wanna see what most people would prefer
    A kind reply would be appreciated... thx

    practical choice is diesel.

    purists will be getting the 911, not the cayenne.

    If I was buying a porshe, I am pretty sure fuel efficiency would be the last on my mind, so I would get the Gas version. For such a high performance engine and our poor diesel quality it can easily spell early engine failure.

    The diesel variant is better for the torque, which is a better match for stop/go city driving style. Out of town trips might have heavy loads which is also better done in a diesel.

    But this is a Porsche large SUV. It's not really in the same category as a Porsche sports car.
