How we use engine sizes.
Porsche Cayenne fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Porsche Cayenne from 2003, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 22.3 to 24.2 mpg, with CO2 of 265 to 289 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 53.5 to 64.2 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2003 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 17.9 to 85.6 mpg, with CO2 of 75 to 380 g/km.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
VCA’s data has no Porsche versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Porsche Cayenne was on sale.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Cayenne”, “Cayenne S”, “Cayenne Turbo”, “Cayenne GTS”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Porsche Cayenne safety recalls
DVSA lists 26 safety recalls for the Porsche Cayenne since 1992, the first in 2004. The most recent was launched on 9 October 2025.
ASA9 Recall campaign - Check the high-pressure pump connections and if necessary replace the high-pressure pumps including fuel lines
Launched 9 October 2025DVSA recall R/2025/432Manufacturer ref. ASA9
Defect
On affected vehicles the screw connection of the high-pressure pump was not implemented in accordance with the technical specifications. This can lead to a leak and the possibility of the fuel igniting.
Remedy
Check the screw connections of both high-pressure pumps and replace the high-pressure pumps and fuel lines if necessary.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Porsche Cayenne. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
