To me this SUV is best in its class around 2016 when the top automakers competed. The SUV's has some hidden features such as rewarding the back passengers with ashtrays and also dual reclining back seats. For me this Porsche Cayenne isn't nor shouldn't be considered normal. This specific model I will compare to the Lexus 450, Mercedes GLE, or the GLS.Mar 20, 2025
