2017 Porsche Cayenne review: Still the sports car of SUV world
Introduction
The Porsche Cayenne. It was a controversial move by the German manufacturer when it first arrived in 2002, but two generations on it’s a cornerstone of the SUV class, proving that 4x4s really can offer something to the enthusiast scene. Can this third generation live up to the reputation established by its forebears?

Verdict: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ (8/10)
The Porsche Cayenne has a deeply rooted reputation as the sports car of the SUV field, and this model more than lives up to it. It’s got more handling panache than any other SUV – even the aggressive BMW X5 and fluid, neatly responsive Range Rover Sport – and is also classier and more practical than before,
The Cayenne S is currently the sweet spot in the range – just be careful you don’t go mad with the endless options list, and you’ve got a world-class car.
