Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Porsche Cayenne is a richly appointed luxury SUV that earns its Porsche badge. It's one of few cars on the road that manage to feel special in standard or top trims, despite a $100,000 price difference.

Pros
Strong engines
Superlative handling for the big SUV
Lots of options to consider
Good performance from hybrid

Cons
Not particularly efficient with space inside
Base model isn’t really thrilling
Unbelievably expensive options

By: 
thecarconnection.com

There are no significant changes to the 2018 Porsche Cayenne.As far as performance and luxury go, we're confident that most shoppers will find the base Cayenne to their liking. Porsche buyers tend to crave a bit more performance, however, so we think the Cayenne S hits a good balance point for power and price.

PROS
Truly 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
Relatively small cargo capacity for the segment

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2018 Porsche Cayenne ranked #3 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Porsche Cayenne has a score of 8.7 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 58 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Sharp handling
Handsome, well-built interior
Quiet, comfortable ride

Cons
Small cargo hold
Abundant buttons and knobs can be overwhelming
Starting price and options are more expensive than most
