Compare the2022 Land Rover Range RoverVS 2022 Porsche Cayenne

Both the Range Rover and Cayenne have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Range Rover has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Cayenne’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The Range Rover’s standard lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. A lane departure warning system costs extra on the Cayenne.

The Range Rover’s optional driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the Range Rover and the Cayenne have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available blind spot warning systems, around view monitors and rear cross-path warning.

As tested in Motor Trend the Range Rover P525 is faster than the Porsche Cayenne turbo V6:

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover gets better mileage than the Cayenne running its gasoline engine:

The Range Rover has 7.7 gallons more fuel capacity than the Cayenne E-Hybrid’s standard fuel tank (27.5 vs. 19.8 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups. The Range Rover has 3.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Cayenne’s standard fuel tank (27.5 vs. 23.7 gallons).

For better stopping power the Range Rover’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the Cayenne:

In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes with enough force to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. The Range Rover has standard Emergency Brake Assist to detect emergency braking situations (by how hard and how quickly the brake pedal is pressed) and then automatically apply maximum braking immediately in order to help prevent a collision. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a brake assist feature.

The Range Rover offers an optional full size spare tire so a flat doesn’t interrupt your trip. A full size spare isn’t available on the Cayenne; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which has mileage and speed limitations, or roadside assistance and a tow-truck.

The front and rear suspension of the Range Rover uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Cayenne, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Range Rover’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Cayenne doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Range Rover’s wheelbase is 1 inch longer than on the Cayenne (115 inches vs. 114 inches). The Range Rover LWB’s wheelbase is 8.9 inches longer than on the Cayenne (122.9 inches vs. 114 inches).

The Range Rover’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (48.9% to 51.1%) than the Cayenne’s (53.6% to 46.4%). This gives the Range Rover more stable handling and braking.

For greater off-road capability the Range Rover has a 3.5 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Cayenne (11.7 vs. 8.2 inches), allowing the Range Rover to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Range Rover’s minimum ground clearance is 2.1 inches higher than on the Cayenne Air Suspension (11.7 vs. 9.6 inches).

As tested by Car and Driver while under full throttle, the interior of the Range Rover SVAutobiography is quieter than the Cayenne (70 vs. 74 dB).

Flexibility is maximized at the game, campground or a drive-in theatre in the Range Rover SVAutobiography Long Wheelbase when its optional tailgating rear seats are deployed, allowing people to sit facing out of the tailgate. (Do not use while vehicle is in motion.) The Cayenne doesn’t offer tailgating seats.

The Range Rover has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Cayenne with its rear seat up (34.5 vs. 27.2 cubic feet). The Range Rover has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Cayenne with its rear seat folded (70.9 vs. 60.3 cubic feet).

The Range Rover SVAutobiography’s optional sliding cargo floor makes loading and unloading cargo easier and safer. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a sliding load floor.

The Range Rover’s cargo area is larger than the Cayenne’s in every dimension:

Pressing a switch automatically lowers or raises the Range Rover’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Cayenne doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

The Range Rover’s rear cargo window opens separately from the rest of the tailgate door to allow quicker loading of small packages. The Cayenne’s rear cargo window doesn’t open.

The Range Rover has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The Range Rover’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. An easy entry system costs extra on the Cayenne.

On a hot day the Range Rover’s driver can lower all the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Cayenne can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Range Rover has a standard rear speed-sensitive intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the Cayenne only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn’t as good.

Both the Range Rover and the Cayenne offer available massaging front seats. The Range Rover also offers optional massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging rear seats aren’t available in the Cayenne.

The Range Rover offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
