Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

In our opinion, the Infiniti FX35 and FX50 are the closest rivals to the base Cayenne on the road—although it doesn't offer any off-road ability like the Porsche.

The Cayenne doesn't feel quite as agile, but the FX makes some sacrifices in packaging and ride quality for its styling-and-performance focus.

The Q7 is significantly larger inside than the Cayenne and comes with an available third-row seat; this past year it also got a more fuel-efficient supercharged V-6 in place of a V-8.

BMW's X5 (and X5 M) are also possibilities, but the X5 has not in recent years been as quick and nimble as the rest of BMW's vehicles.

The Range Rover Sport, like the Cayenne, offers a combination of on-road performance and off-road ability, though it's a letdown on many counts, with an aged design and cramped quarters.

One other interesting alternative is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8; with a 470-horsepower V-8 and straight-line performance that rivals the Cayenne Turbo—at a price that's less than the Cayenne S.
