Used Porsche Cayenne (2010-2017) – interior and tech

Porsche's nav and entertainment system isn't the best. Interior fit and finish is as you'd expect for a car in this price bracket.

Evo rating
  • Impressive poise across the entire range; blistering performance from the powerful petrol models
  • Interior and structure feels dated; not a looker

Thick C-pillars don’t do rearward visibility any favours but, with a 670-litre boot, the Cayenne beats the contemporary BMW X5 for seats-in-place luggage space. Like a Range Rover, the Porsche’s rear bench slides to free up a little more legroom if the boot isn’t crammed. Despite the apparent space, the cabin ambience itself is quite snug and intimate.

The fit and quality of the materials feel deeply impressive, but there’s no denying the inside of the Cayenne looks dated. The centre console is festooned with buttons and the colour screens look distinctly low res compared to the ones in modern premium cars. It's a far cry from the interiors of later models, with their wide-screen displays and touch-screen panels to reduce the number of buttons.
