2024 Porsche Cayenne Summary

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT needs a better name. This is the king of Cayennes and quite possibly the ruler of all super SUVs.

Well, the Cayenne Turbo GT is the fastest SUV around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Not just that, it has such colossal power and torque it'll be side-by-side with a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in a sprint from 0-100km/h. No, a better name for this SUV would be the Cayenne GT3.

Which is perfect for me because I'm at the point in my life where although I love full-on and noisy cars I also have a full-on and noisy family.

We lived with the Cayenne Turbo GT for a week to find out if this super SUV was also a super family car - from practicality to safety.

We're also a family with ridiculously high expectations of luxury SUVs having lived with and tested each of the Cayenne Turbo GT's rivals - from the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga to the Aston Martin DBX and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

2022 Volkswagen Touareg Summary

Contemporary large all-wheel drive SUVs represent a nice balance between on-road comfort and at least some sort of capability to tackle traction-compromised surfaces, such as rain-slicked bitumen or when the blacktop turns to dirt or gravel.

And when a vehicle’s price-tag heads north of the $100k mark surely you can be assured of a top-quality all-round driving experience, right? 

Well, we tested a 2022 Volkswagen Touareg 210TDI R-Line to see if it’s worthy of your consideration.
