The Automotivist Frame

"The test drive is designed to make you forget the math." A 2025 Porsche Cayenne at $82,000 sticker costs $194,940 over 5 years. The sticker is the beginning of the number — not the number.

The Automotivist Take

The Cayenne is what happens when Porsche engineering meets SUV practicality and premium depreciation curves. Cayennes lose 45-55% of their value over 5 years - faster than the 911 and faster than any other vehicle on this list. The maintenance costs reflect Porsche dealer pricing applied to an SUV platform with more systems to service. The case for a Cayenne is almost never financial. It is the right car when you have the income to absorb the true monthly cost without it changing your other decisions.
