No automaker offers quite the breadth of performance-oriented models seen in the Porsche Cayenne portfolio, though BMW and Mercedes come close.
The X5 and GLE-Class are both offered in numerous flavors and body styles, even if neither can match the finesse of the Porsche Cayenne.
Land Rover’s Range Rover Sport balances serious off-road ability with astounding handling, though it’s not quite as polished as the Cayenne on a winding road.
The Audi Q8 intrigues with its hunchback shape and prodigious power, though underneath it’s a distant cousin to the Cayenne.
