Redesigned 2019 Porsche Cayenne Is Heavy on Sportiness and Light on Ride Comfort
CR's testers offer their first impressions of this luxury SUV
Porsche’s midsized Cayenne has always been one of the sportiest, most responsive luxury SUVs available. Now, after about a decade with few major updates, Porsche has redesigned the Cayenne, giving it more powerful engines, higher-tech cabin features, and an increased level of advanced safety systems.
The 2019 Porsche Cayenne is slightly larger than the outgoing car, yet it’s actually lighter. We bought a 2019 Cayenne for our test fleet, and these are our first impressions.
