This 2004 example is a four-door Sport Utility in the base V6 configuration, offering the Cayenne's iconic design and Porsche-caliber engineering at an accessible price point. At just over 113,000 miles, this SUV is well into its life but well within the range of what a properly maintained Cayenne can handle. First-gen Cayennes are known to run deep into high mileage when cared for, making this a realistic long-term ownership candidate for the right buyer.2004 Porsche Cayenne Performance and EngineV6 Power With AWD Confidence Under the hood sits Porsche's 3.2-liter V6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive. This engine produces around 247 horsepower, giving the Cayenne a confident, linear power delivery that feels far more athletic than most SUVs of its era. The AWD system is derived from technology shared with Volkswagen and Audi, but tuned to Porsche's exacting standards — meaning it handles rain-slicked Bay Area freeways and twisty canyon roads with equal composure. Whether you're merging onto I-880 or heading into the hills above Oakland, the Cayenne's drivetrain keeps you planted and in control.Porsche Cayenne Features and InteriorEuropean Luxury in Every Detail The 2004 Cayenne base trim was still a Porsche through and through. Buyers can expect a driver-focused cockpit with supportive seating, quality materials, and Porsche's characteristic attention to ergonomics. The elevated seating position gives excellent visibility, while the interior layout prioritizes the driver experience over flashy gimmicks. Climate control, power accessories, and Porsche's intuitive gauge cluster come standard. While individual features on this specific vehicle should be confirmed at the dealership, the Cayenne's base equipment level was generous by any 2004 SUV standard, and this is a vehicle that still feels substantial and purposeful inside.Porsche Cayenne Reliability and OwnershipWhat Buyers Should Know About the First-Generation Cayenne Owning a used Porsche Cayenne requires going in with open eyes, and that's worth discussing honestly. The V6 base model is generally considered the most reliable powertrain in the first-gen lineup — it sidesteps the coolant system and bore scoring issues that occasionally affect the V8 Cayenne Turbo variants. Regular maintenance is essential: the coolant expansion tank, transfer case fluid, and differential services should all be verified in the service history. When properly maintained, these SUVs are remarkably durable and deeply satisfying to own. Many Cayenne owners report high satisfaction precisely because the driving experience is so far above average for an SUV.
