Porsche Cayenne vs. the competition
2018 Porsche Cayenne
2018 BMW X5
Porsche Cayenne vs. BMW X5
The BMW X5 has a price advantage when purchased in the sDrive35i rear-wheel-drive configuration. Compare the Cayenne with the xDrive35i all-wheel-drive model, and the price advantage is nil. The Cayenne is better equipped and cozier, but it is down on cargo volume by more than 30 percent. The X5's convenient option tiers are easier on the pocketbook.
Porsche Cayenne vs. Audi Q7
The Cayenne's biggest disadvantage compared to the Q7 is the lack of interior space. The Q7 is cavernous and offers a third row of seats. Although small, that third row is an important feature to have for families and carpools. But even with less power, the Cayenne's handling and powertrain are more responsive. Finally, the Cayenne's options are nearly all stand-alone picks, whereas the Q7's are in more manageable packages.
Porsche Cayenne vs. Land Rover Range Rover
Here, the price difference benefits the Cayenne. With more power, a tighter chassis and a sportier seating position, the Cayenne has better dynamics. It's perfect for the road less traveled. But it's a step behind the Range Rover's quiet cabin, soft pillowy ride and prodigious interior volume. Those are all good things for long highway trips.

FAQs
Is the Porsche Cayenne a good car?
While most SUVs in the class prioritize space, luxury or off-roadability, the Cayenne specializes in on-road performance. Porsche calls it the sports car of SUVs, and there's not many who would disagree with that sentiment. But comfortable seats, a modern infotainment system and a quiet cabin make it suitable for when you're not driving at high speed. Yes, you give up some cargo volume, and there's no third-row option, but you gain steering precision, excellent brakes and an interior that is great for long-distance trips.
How can I get a Porsche Cayenne deal?
Edmunds can help you find a great local price on a Porsche Cayenne. See 2018 Porsche Cayenne deals and incentives in your area.
Does the Porsche Cayenne have good MPG?
The base Cayenne is a little below the segment average economy figures, with an EPA-rated 20 mpg combined (18 city/24 highway). The Cayenne S is no better with a combined 20 mpg (17 city/24 highway). The Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S are the worst of the Cayenne's range but what they get is pretty typical for a high-performance SUV. Expect 17 mpg combined (14 city/21 highway) for these models. Meanwhile, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid achieves 46 miles per gallon equivalent (using plug-in power) or 22 mpg combined with only the combustion engine. That's less than what you can get from other plug-in hybrid SUVs.
Does the Porsche Cayenne have good resale value?
