Handling
Set the suspension to “Sport” and you have handling that’s as precise and capable as a big brute can get. The 18-inch tires on our test car didn’t have as much grip as the available 20 inchers, but the lower limits may have worked in the Cayenne’s favor by lowering the limits and giving it a slightly tossable feel. It understeers at the limit, but the stability control didn’t intrude until the outer limits of adhesion. Yet you never escape the weight, and feel it in every quick side-to-side transition. The Cayenne may be the Fred Astaire of elephants, but it’s still an elephant.
