There are plenty of high-end SUVs out there in the market, but very few models match the level of vehicles like the 2018 Porsche Cayenne and the 2018 Land Rover Discovery. With a stylish interior and upgraded technology, Porsche seems to have an upper hand. This comparison will tell you why.
Design & Style
The 2018 Land Rover Discovery is a 7-seater vehicle, although the third row is better left for children. Other standard features include power adjustable front seats and leather upholstery. The cabin is full of top-notch materials, and the dashboard styling reflects the design you will find in flagship SUV for Land Rover.
On the other hand, the 2018 Porsche Cayenne is quintessential of a luxury model, with comfortable and supportive front seats and a chic interior with strong build quality. You will find plenty of premium grade materials spread across, and there is sufficient space inside the cabin for you to stretch out. The cargo area is spacious enough for accommodating a dozen shopping bags.
Technology & Safety
Taking into account the technology and safety aspect of the vehicle, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery comes standard with navigation, Wi-Fi hot spot and infotainment system with a 10-inch touch screen. The infotainment interface is quite intuitive and responsive, while it has logical straightforward menus as well. However, this model does not have features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, that are available in most of the rivals.
Speaking of the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, it comes with an easy-to-use system with crisp graphics and quality display of the PCM interface. You don’t have to rely upon the touch screen interface for settings, as there are a number of buttons conveniently positioned. Some of the standard safety features include lane departure warning, lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, and a surround view camera.
Performance
There are a couple of engine options with the 2018 Land Rover Discovery, including a 254 HP 3-liter turbodiesel 6-cylinder or a 340 HP supercharged 3-liter gasoline. The turbodiesel offers higher fuel efficiency and added torque, but it does not quite match the level of performance offered by the 2018 Porsche Cayenne. It comes standard with a 3-liter V6 engine that can put out up to 335 HP.
The Bottom Line
With an athletic appearance and smooth handling, the 2018 Porsche Cayenne steals the show with some great attributes on offer. There is plenty of comfort factor, and the cabin is top notch as well. In comparison to other models, it has a higher safety test rating and better technology. This doesn’t take Land Rover Discovery out of the equation, but it is certainly outclassed by Cayenne.
