2020 Range Rover Evoque vs Porsche Cayenne Performance

The 2020 Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Cayenne are known for being easy and fun to drive and offer outstanding handling and agility to boot. The Evoque comes standard with a 2.0 4-cylinder engine that delivers 246 horsepower. On higher trim levels, the engine is tuned to produce 296 horsepower, giving you that extra power you need out on the highway.

The Range Rover Evoque is also known for its fuel efficiency, receiving an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city/27 MPG highway.¹

While the Cayenne is a powerful choice for area roads, its fuel economy ratings don’t match up to the Evoque. That’s because it only receives an EPA-estimated 19 MPG city/23 MPG highway. You’ll have to refuel more frequently when driving the Cayenne.

The good news? Both vehicles do come standard with all-wheel-drive technology.

Evoque vs Cayenne Off-Roading

We all have an adventurous side. When you want to take things off the pavement, the Range Rover Evoque is ready for you. Simply put, the Porsche Cayenne is not. The 2020 Evoque comes standard with Terrain Response® 2 and All Progress Terrain Control.

All Terrain Progress Control helps you maintain a steady speed when traveling over slippery surfaces, like mud, wet grass, snow, and dirt roads. This system operates like a conventional cruise control system, functioning at speeds between 1 MPH and 18 MPH.

The Range Rover Evoque also carries the ClearSight Ground View feature. You’ll get a view of the front underside of the vehicle when traveling over difficult terrain, so you’re able to essentially “see through” the Evoque hood. You won’t find this kind of feature in the Cayenne.

Technology Features

If you love tech, then you’ll love to hear that there’s no shortage of it in the 2020 Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Cayenne. They both come standard with Bluetooth® technology, allowing you to easily stream audio or make a phone call without taking your hands off the wheel. They also offer a Wi-Fi hotspot, so it’s easy to access your favorite apps without using up data on your mobile device.

The 2020 Evoque delivers with standard Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® technology. Thanks to this smartphone technology, you’ll have easy access to your important smartphone features right in front of you on the touchscreen. While the Porsche Cayenne does offer Apple CarPlay® technology, you won’t find Android Auto in this Porsche.
