Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Porsche announced that the 2021 Cayenne Coupe will add a sporty GTS model. It uses a version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter that powers the mighty Cayenne Turbo, generating 453 horsepower rather than the Turbo's 541. The new model also has dark exterior accents, a lowered suspension, and other performance hardware and premium features.

PROS
Perhaps the prettiest fastback SUV,
drives more like a 911 than a crossover,
diverse powertrain choices.

CONS
Base models have less luxury,
all models have less cargo space than their SUV cousins,
large wheels affect ride quality.

For 2021 New GTS trim level that slots between the S and the Turbo.GTS has a 453-hp V8 and some extra performance upgrades.

PROS
Impressive handling for a crossover SUV
Wide selection of powerful engines available
Exquisite interior and build quality
Plenty of customization options

CONS
Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag
Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately
Poor visibility out of the rear
Fans are weak at low speeds and noisy at high speeds

PROS
Athletic handling
Powerful engines
Elegant interior
Generous features list

CONS
Small cargo hold
Console and dashboard controls can be distracting
High base price

A heated steering wheel is now standard. And if you opt for the Executive package on the Premium Plus trim, additional leather trim is now included.We would choose the more expensive Prestige trim so that we can get the SQ7’s $5900 S Sport package, which adds desirable performance enhancements such as a sport rear differential and Audi’s Active Roll Stabilization system. This brings the SQ7’s price close to six figures, but the extras are well worth the money.

Pros
Impressively quick acceleration,
athletic chassis,
high-end cabin with room for seven.

Cons
Isn't particularly fuel efficient,
options quickly escalate to a six-figure price tag,
all-digital dash layout may irk some drivers.

The 2021 Audi SQ7 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.A heated steering wheel is now standard.Executive package now includes more leather surfaces.

PROS
Twin-turbo 500-hp V8 moves the SQ7 with authority
Four-wheel steering keeps the big SUV feeling nimble
48-volt hybrid system provides added acceleration from a standstill

CONS
Cramped third-row seats
Infotainment system can be distracting to use
