Porsche announced that the 2021 Cayenne Coupe will add a sporty GTS model. It uses a version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter that powers the mighty Cayenne Turbo, generating 453 horsepower rather than the Turbo's 541. The new model also has dark exterior accents, a lowered suspension, and other performance hardware and premium features.
PROS Perhaps the prettiest fastback SUV, drives more like a 911 than a crossover, diverse powertrain choices.
CONS Base models have less luxury, all models have less cargo space than their SUV cousins, large wheels affect ride quality.
For 2021 New GTS trim level that slots between the S and the Turbo.GTS has a 453-hp V8 and some extra performance upgrades.
PROS Impressive handling for a crossover SUV Wide selection of powerful engines available Exquisite interior and build quality Plenty of customization options
CONS Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately Poor visibility out of the rear Fans are weak at low speeds and noisy at high speeds
PROS Athletic handling Powerful engines Elegant interior Generous features list
CONS Small cargo hold Console and dashboard controls can be distracting High base price
“The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport ”
PROS Achingly stylish inside and out. Improved engines and plug-in option make the heavy-duty bits more competitive. Relaxed and refined, yet unusually superb off-road.
CONS Infotainment screen not quite Land Rover’s latest and greatest. Expensive once you start speccing it
The Range Rover Velar is a stylish, refined and seriously appealing coupé SUV. If you keep to small wheels, it's a comfy companion while our favoured S trim gets plenty of kit. It’s best to stick to the cheaper trims and engines – once you start moving up the range, the price rises into the realms of better-resolved cars, such as the Audi Q8 and BMW X6.
PROS Decent economy with diesels and plug-in Smooth and punchy D300 engine Good off road
CONS Average rear leg room Wallowy handling Some cheap plastics inside
