The Range Rover’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Cayenne doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

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 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, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras and rear cross-path warning.

Engine

The Range Rover has more powerful engines than the Cayenne:

	Horsepower	Torque
Range Rover P400 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid	395 HP	406 lbs.-ft.
Range Rover P530 4.4 turbo V8	523 HP	553 lbs.-ft.
Range Rover P550e 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid	543 HP	406 lbs.-ft.
Range Rover SV 4.4 turbo V8	606 HP	553 lbs.-ft.
Cayenne 3.0 turbo V6	348 HP	368 lbs.-ft.
Cayenne E-Hybrid 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid	463 HP	479 lbs.-ft.
Cayenne S 4.0 turbo V8	468 HP	442 lbs.-ft.
Cayenne S E-Hybrid 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid	512 HP	553 lbs.-ft.

As tested in Car and Driver the Range Rover P530 4.4 turbo V8 is faster than the Porsche Cayenne turbo V6:

	Range Rover	Cayenne
Zero to 60 MPH	4.3 sec	4.7 sec
Zero to 100 MPH	10.6 sec	12.8 sec
5 to 60 MPH Rolling Start	5.1 sec	6 sec
Quarter Mile	12.8 sec	13.4 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	109 MPH	102 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

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

			MPG
Range Rover
	AWD	P400 3.0 turbo/SC 6-cyl. Hybrid	19 city/24 hwy
		P550e 3.0 turbo/SC 6-cyl. Hybrid	21 city/22 hwy
		530 SWB 4.4 turbo V8	16 city/23 hwy
		4.4 turbo V8	16 city/22 hwy
		530 LWB 4.4 turbo V8	16 city/22 hwy
Cayenne
	AWD	3.0 turbo V6	17 city/23 hwy
		4.0 turbo V8	15 city/21 hwy

The Range Rover P550e can travel with zero emissions for 53 miles. The Cayenne can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

Brakes and Stopping

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

	Range Rover	Cayenne
Front Rotors	14.9 inches	14.2 inches
Rear Rotors	13.9 inches	13 inches

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 a 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.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Range Rover has larger standard tires than the Cayenne (275/50R21 vs. 255/55R20).

The Range Rover’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Cayenne’s standard 55 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the Cayenne. The Range Rover’s optional 23-inch wheels are larger than the 22-inch wheels optional on the Cayenne.

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.

Suspension and Handling

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 SWB’s wheelbase is 4 inches longer than on the Cayenne (118 inches vs. 114 inches).

For better maneuverability, the Range Rover SWB’s turning circle is 3.8 feet tighter than the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid’s (35.9 feet vs. 39.7 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Range Rover has a 3.5 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Cayenne E-Hybrid (11.6 vs. 8.1 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 Turbo E-Hybrid (11.6 vs. 9.5 inches).

Chassis

The Range Rover uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Cayenne doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

The Range Rover LWB SE offers optional seating for 7 passengers; the Cayenne can only carry 5.

Flexibility is maximized at the game, campground or a drive-in theatre in the Range Rover 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.

Cargo Capacity

The Range Rover LWB SE’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cayenne.

	Range Rover	Cayenne
Third Seat Folded	43.1 cubic feet	n/a
Third Seat Removed	n/a	27.2 cubic feet
Second Seat Folded	92.9 cubic feet	60.3 cubic feet

The Range Rover SWB’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cayenne.

	Range Rover	Cayenne
Third Seat Removed	40.7 cubic feet	27.2 cubic feet
Second Seat Folded	83.5 cubic feet	60.3 cubic feet

The Range Rover LWB SV’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cayenne.

	Range Rover	Cayenne
Third Seat Removed	40.9 cubic feet	27.2 cubic feet
Second Seat Folded	92.8 cubic feet	60.3 cubic feet

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

	Range Rover SWB	Range Rover LWB SE	Cayenne
Length to seat (2nd/1st)	43”/77.8”	17.1”/50.6”/85.6”	39.6”/74.9”
Max Width	56.9”	49.4”	42”
Min Width	41.6”	41.7”	42”
Height	33.3”	33.3”	30.4”

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

Towing

Maximum trailer towing in the Porsche Cayenne is limited to 7700 pounds. The Range Rover offers up to a 8200 lbs. towing capacity.

Ergonomics

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 power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Cayenne’s cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

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.

The Range Rover has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the Cayenne.

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

The Range Rover has a 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.

Recommendations

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Range Rover first among large premium suvs in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The Cayenne isn’t in the top three in its category.
