Porsche Cayenne: The king of driver-friendly SUVs

The Porsche Cayenne has been a roaring success, and this new, updated model is even better.

Porsche's Cayenne first "reared its shockingly ugly head" back in 2002, says Shane O'Donoghue in The Daily Telegraph. This latest version may seem like a subtle makeover of a familiar concept, but the car has actually undergone a comprehensive overhaul. The new version is more spacious within and the interior is "of tangibly higher quality", with a high-tech and easy-to-use infotainment system. The car is lighter and more powerful, and employs "fiendishly clever" technology to make it "quicker and more capable than ever". Indeed, "mere mortals" will never getthe most out of this car's on and off-road abilities. Typical buyers will be more likely to be found ambling about in posh neighbourhoods than testing the car's limits on empty B-roads. But they will love it nevertheless. The subtle exterior redesign means it even looks good now too.
