Looking to trade up to an SUV due to moving to an area that makes it a necessity. Considering a Range Rover, Audi RSQ8, and Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe. All new. Any inputs on which way to go?

I’ve driven all 3 and would honestly recommend the X5M. Have not driven the new rsq8 performance yet, only the standard one but that would be my second choice. I think the gts is just overpriced and you really need the p530 Range Rover sport imo

funny

RSQ8 would be my choice. RR is an outstanding cruiser but isn’t as dynamic as I’d like

Cayenne all the way. Or a Urus.

I like the Range Rover look too but I think the others are more fun.

An Aventador SV would be a better way to spend a quarter mil anyway lol

Among the 3 I’d pick Porsche or Audi. Also concur with the poster about the X5M as an option.

To me the X5M just isn’t unique enough

Do you want a trunk or not? If so, the range is your answer. If not, get the RSQ8. Have had them all - except cayenne (mine were turbos).

I’ve driven 3 generations of Cayennes, but not the RSQ8 nor any Range Rovers. The Cayenne is a fantastic choice. It’s the best driving SUV to be had, and handles better than even some sport sedans, but with a higher element of comfort. Build quality is top notch; they are built like a tank. After sales is pricey. But Porsche dealers provide great customer service, head and shoulders above most other premium brands - on par with maybe Lexus and Cadillac. Certainly better than JLR.

Range Rover make the least reliable vehicle year after year. Check Consumer Reports. They’re great off-road but horribly unreliable. Porsche is the most reliable manufacturer year after year.
The Cayenne Turbo S gets my vote!

Among the three the RR felt most premium but I’m really not sure about their reliability. If I were to get an RSQ8 I’d go with AMG GLE/GLS instead, at least I felt the Mercedes vehicles have a more rowdy/fun engine. That left me with the Cayenne GTS of which I am a big fan. I’ve driven every generation of it and felt they are consistently the best handling SUVs at the time. I’d go to an independent shop for all the maintenance and repairs, cheaper and you get to build a good relationship with a shop where you can bring your future Porsches for services 😉

Who tf is taking a GLS to the track (other than to tow their track car)??

funny

Definitely cayenne GTS out of the cars you listed. If you like the coupe look, check out the x6m as well.

Cayenne hands down.

I say safety first, I chose the subaru outback with my budget. Like the choices you picked though as far as looks

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.
