Porsche has equipped the Cayenne Coupe with a plethora of safety tech

Safety and After Sales Service – Because it is based on the Cayenne, safety is a strong point. Remember, the Cayenne gets a full five-star crash test rating and comes with more than enough safety kit. The same goes for the Coupe. Whether Porsche brings the radar-guided safety tech remains to be seen. While Porsche’s service network in India isn’t as widespread as other luxury brands, the company does have presence in most major cities in the country.

The Cayenne Coupe impresses on a lot of counts

Verdict – To a great extent, Porsche has succeeded in their objective of making one of the sharpest driving SUVs in the world even better. The Coupe is slightly more agile and we think it looks pretty good. The Turbo models offer blistering performance and fantastic dynamics. The Coupe model also offers more standard equipment than the standard Cayenne. While the standard Cayenne does everything well, if SUV-Coupes are your taste, the Cayenne Coupe is one of the best out there, both dynamically and aesthetically.
