What we like:

Dynamic handling befitting of the Porsche crest. A very well-built interior with superior sound insulation from outside influence.

What we dislike:

The lack of keyless entry as standard kit.

Porsche has made some minor tweaks to the exterior design as well. A sleeker front profile gives the illusion that the front is closer to the ground. The thinner profile of the rear lights have also given the rear a sportier appearance.

While the small changes around the car might seem minor, they’ve all combined to place the Cayenne strongly ahead as a well-built luxury SUV with dynamic underpinnings. Although specced with decent features that include a sunroof, rear view camera and navigation, the absence of keyless entry as standard kit is puzzling in a segment where it is commonplace.
