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.

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.
