To ensure fairness, we’ve chosen nearly identically-priced variants of both the Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover Sport for this comparison. For many buyers in this segment, performance remains a top priority. Performance luxury SUVs offer the same exhilaration as their sedan and coupe counterparts, coupled with everyday versatility and practicality.
If you’ve craving maximum thrills, the clear choice is the Porsche Cayenne S. Equipped with a potent 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6, the Cayenne S delivers a muscular 434 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the Range Rover Sport HST is powered by a complex 6-cylinder gas engine featuring a Mild Hybrid (MHEV) system. You would think that such sophisticated engineering would result in greater performance and efficiency figures for the Range Rover Sport. Unfortunately for Land Rover, that’s simply not the case.
While the Range Rover Sport HST can match the torque of the Cayenne S, it has 39 less horsepower. This disadvantage is especially evident when looking at 0-60 times and the top speeds of both vehicles. The Range Rover Sport HST is a full second slower from 0 to 60 MPH and tops out at 140 MPH, 24 MPH slower than the Cayenne S. Despite its mild hybrid technology, the Range Rover still manages to deliver an inferior city MPG fuel economy rating than the Porsche. A 681-pound curb weight disadvantage certainly doesn’t do the Range Rover any favors either.
Giving you the flexibility to carry rear-seat passengers, cargo, and even a combination of both — the rear seats of the Cayenne S are split in a 40/20/20 configuration. You’ll have fewer options inside the Range Rover HST which has a 60/40 split rear seat. In terms of safety, the Cayenne S gives you knee airbags for both the driver and passenger along with second-row side airbags. Both of these features are not offered on the Range Rover HST. Lastly, both SUVs come with stylish alloy wheels to complement their commanding exterior looks. Porsche includes wheel locks to safeguard them from theft. You’ll have to pay extra for wheel locks on the Range Rover HST or run the risk of them being stolen.
Winner – Porsche Cayenne S
Now that the results have been tallied, the obvious winner of this matchup is the Porsche Cayenne S. The Range Rover HST is simply unable to match the performance capabilities, safety features, versatility, and value represented by the Cayenne. If you’re ready to experience the Cayenne for yourself, our team of Porsche Brand Ambassadors at Porsche Louisville are standing by to help you choose the model which best fits your lifestyle.
