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.
