What We Like

Styling
Interior quality
Roomy sliding backseat
V-8 acceleration

What We Don't

Stick shift on base model only
Premium gas required
Modest acceleration with V-6
Hybrid favors power over mileage

The all-wheel-drive Porsche Cayenne was redesigned last year. Along with new exterior and interior styling, the Cayenne came with a sliding backseat, increased power and better mileage in all versions. A Cayenne S Hybrid is claimed to deliver the acceleration of a V-8 with the mileage of a V-6. Gas-only models include the base Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo. The five-seat Cayenne competes with the Infiniti FX, BMW X5 and Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
