Porsche Cayenne
While the Boxster saved Porsche, the Cayenne luxury SUV is the one that caused sales to explode. The third generation benefits from various design tweaks and updated content for 2024. There are seven models to choose from, starting with the base Cayenne (turbocharged V6, 349 horsepower) and going all the way up to the Cayenne Turbo GT (turbocharged V8, 650 horsepower). Don’t forget about the three plug-in hybrids. A sportier Cayenne Coupe is also available.
