Test Drive: 2016 Porsche Cayenne V6 - Autos.ca

The Cayenne is the big brother to the most accessible member of Porsche’s lineup, the $57,200 Macan S . It’s a $10K bump from there up to the $67,400 Cayenne, but there’s some good value in that price differential. As a family-friendly driver’s car I’d prefer to be behind the wheel of the Macan without giving it too much thought, but the Cayenne offers more interior space and a stout 3,500-kg tow rating. And the list includes items that are generally expected in any crossover north of $50K, with bi-xenon headlights, 18-inch wheels, multifunction wheel with shift paddles, eight-way power front seats and split reclining rear bench, dual-zone climate... Porsche has made some real progress in offering such a complete list of standard features. While not unusual at this price, we’re accustomed to seeing Porsche charge extra for items such as navigation or a power liftgate. Its Palladium Metallic paint costs $910, the sunroof rings in at $1,360. $2,000 for the reverse camera and parking sensors, and a $450 bump each for 18-inch Cayenne S wheels and a driver memory package.
