CarTell take
We haven't driven the Cayenne yet. On paper, confirm air suspension is included on your chosen variant, it is standard from E-Hybrid up but optional on Cayenne and S. Luxury Car Tax hits this segment hard, factor it into the comparison.
Why consider it
- Five variants from V6 to 485 kW Turbo GT, Porsche Driver Experience cabin with physical climate controls retained, and 3,500 kg braked towing across the entire range.
What to know
- 3-year factory warranty trails German rivals at 5 years.
- Options list inflates the on-road cost quickly, with $30,000+ easy to add on E-Hybrid and S.
Who it suits
Driver-first SUV buyers wanting Porsche steering with three rows of powertrain choice, PHEV commuters drawn to 74 km of WLTP EV range, and tow-and-tour families needing 3,500 kg braked capacity.
