OVERVIEW
The Porsche Cayenne is a good pick if you’re considering a used luxury SUV with a new twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 which replaces the outgoing S's normally aspirated V-8. The new engine puts out 420 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0–60 time of 5.1 seconds, or 5.2 without launch control.
The Cayenne has a lovely interior, roomy seating space for five passengers, and a host of available safety features. The Cayenne pairs that family-friendly practicality with eye-opening performance. This Porsche SUV drives like an oversized sports car, as it blasts up to speed with power to spare and corners sharply while still providing a comfortable ride. Few SUVs are this fun to drive
