For The Cayenne has an image that no other off-roader can come close to. Its performance is incredible and it even goes well off-road

Against The Cayenne is expensive, and more of a rival to sports saloons, so its off-road ability is pointless. With limited rear kneeroom, it's not as practical as it should be

3 out of 5 stars

An outrageous car that makes very little sense, but no other 4x4 handles as well. It's now (slightly) greener, but still very expensive to run

Cayenne Our pick

Porsche Cayenne 4x4 4.8 S 5dr

Pretty much as quick as the Turbo in real life, yet the best part of £30,000 cheaper, this is our pick of the range - by some way.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's no such thing as a slow Cayenne, but we think it's worth upgrading from the most basic model, which needs working quite hard. The next model up the range, with a 4.8-litre engine, is appreciably quicker and our favourite version of the Cayenne.

Thanks to the Porsche personalisation programme, you can specify a car almost entirely to your wishes and which will be hand-built by the company's own craftsmen.

Likewise, if you want to, you can also collect your car from the factory in Germany, with a tour of the company's museum thrown in. And, after the opening of the Driving Experience Centre at Silverstone, anyone who buys a new Cayenne is eligible for a course at the centre as part of the buying package.
