The car offers good grip around corners thanks to all-wheel drive
The Cayenne has a 5 star safety rating, it comes with a slew of electronics
Safety – The new car is just 10 kgs lighter than the old one thanks to weight-saving material used in the vehicle’s construction. However, Porsche insists that the use of steel has been generous at impact points to make the Cayenne Turbo an extremely safe car. You get all the regular equipment like ESP, Traction Control and up to 8 airbags. The car has been recently awarded a full 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating making it very safe. Porsche hasn’t equipped the Cayenne with radar-based crash avoidance systems though. The four-wheel drive system and potent grip offered by the tyres make driving a safe and secure experience. Further, you get all-around cameras and sensors to ensure parking this almost 5-metre long SUV is an easy task.

The Cayenne Turbo is one of the best SUVs money can buy!
Verdict – The Porsche Cayenne is a capable SUV but there are a lot of SUVs at this price point which are as capable, some even more with off-road hardware bits. However, what the Cayenne offers is a sports car-like driving feel which no other SUV does, making it a practical sports car for Indian roads as you can have fun around the corners and yet not worry about the speed bumps or potholes. The Cayenne is the most fun you can have in an SUV, the fact that it can be driven on any kind of roads is what makes it one of the best SUVs in the world.

There is lots of attention to detail in this German car
Testers’ Note:
“I had driven the older Porsche Cayenne a couple of years back and loved it for its driving abilities. This generation looks way better than the previous car and I particularly liked this black shade which looks spectacular. The interior is so luxurious and feature-loaded, I just couldn’t get enough of it. The engine is butter smooth and offers wild performance. The handling characteristics are also brilliant and you just forget that you’re driving an SUV, this does feel like a nice and practical sports car.” – Parth Gohil, Associate Editor, MotorBeam.
