Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 6th of 17 in Power-to-weight (203 hp/t). 6th of 17 in Power-to-weight (203 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 11,4 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (1st with 4.4 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (1st with 282 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 5.7 s 0-100 (7th of 17 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the Cayenne S (8-speed Tiptronic S) ranks 7th of 17 in 0–100 km/h, 1.3 s off the reference Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (4.4 s).

Top speed: 258 km/h (7th of 17 in Top speed)

Top speed of 258 km/h. The segment reference reaches 282 km/h.
