Range Rover Sport SVR vs Porsche Cayenne Turbo & Audi RS6 - pictures

Go to: Range Rover Sport SVR vs Porsche Cayenne Turbo & Audi RS6
  • Range Rover Sport SVR vs rivals

    The Range Rover Sport SVR has muscled into the fast SUV market, but how does it fare against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo? Or does the Audi RS6 provide sufficient four-wheel drive performance thrills? 

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - front tracking

    At £93,450, the Range Rover Sport SVR packs a 542bhp punch from a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine.

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - rear tracking

    "Overall, it's comfortable, well built and the SVR's design touches add something extra." - James Disdale, road test editor. 

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - interior

    There's lashings of leather throughout the cabin, with contrasting brushed aluminium trim to add to the SVR's racy feel.

    Individual rear bucket seats fold to increase boot space.

    Load bay is flat but small compared to the Cayenne and RS6, at 489 litres.

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - front action

    "Tweaks to the Range Rover Sport means the SVR is noticeably better to drive than the regular car. However, ride quality and comfort aren't as good, so if you're after luxury, go for the standard V8 petrol." - Dean Gibson, deputy road

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - sat nav screen

    Infotainment system is starting to show its age, as graphics are dated, plus it's unresponsive and long-winded to use.

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - centre console

    SVR gets driving mode selector knob in the centre console, with a more focused Dynamic setting now available. 

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - exhausts

    "The Range Rover SVR's exhaust system is incredibly loud - according to Jaguar Land Rover, it will rival a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe's for aural appeal. The car can be quietened down for use around town, but even then hard acceleration cau

  • Range Rover Sport SVR - front cornering

    The SVR darts into corners, but it almost feels too eager to change direction for such a big car.

    The Porsche Cayenne Turbo is powered by a 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8, putting out 512bhp.

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - rear tracking

    The Cayenne feels more balanced and composed than the SVR, but the trade off for this is a lumpier ride in the Turbo model compared to the Range Rover. 

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - interior

    High centre console and dash add to a sporty feel, while the touchscreen infotainment system is easy to use.

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - rear seats

    The Cayenne's interior is tighter than the Range Rover's, but there's still plenty of room for passengers. 

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - boot

    Largest boot on test is also the most versatile, at 670 litres. There's storage under the floor around the sub-woofer, as well as a ski hatch for longer items.

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - static

    The Cayenne hides its bulk well with some clever design touches, including the low, rounded bonnet that drops down to a big, bluff front end. 

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - rear static

    The Cayenne has less head-turning appeal than its rivals here, but a big spoiler, flared wheelarches and quad exhausts complete the sporty look.

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - interior detail

    High centre console makes the Cayenne feel like a sports car rather than a high-riding SUV. 

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - wheel/brake detail

    Yellow brake calipers highlight Cayenne's optional ceramic composite PCCB brakes, which provide excellent stopping power.

    Quad exhausts add a sporty touch to the rear of the car. 

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - cornering

    "Porsche's heritage of building briliant sports cars is obvious in the Cayenne. The seating position and layout focus on the driver, but steering and chassis don't deliver the feedback of the Cayenne's smaller sibling, the Macan." - Se

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo - rear action

    The stiffer suspension set-up gives better body control than the Range Rover, but the steering is very light and offers little feedback.

  • Audi RS6 - front tracking

    The Audi RS6 is a leftfield choice compared to the other two cars in this test, but a 552bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 helps balance things out. 

  • Audi RS6 - rear tracking

    "The V8 turbo engine is strong across the rev range. For such a big car, it's agile, too, and with Audi's trademark quattro four-wheel drive, the RS6 serves up sensational, reassuring performance whatever the weather.

  • Audi RS6 - interior

    Supportive sports seats and high quality materials set the interior apart. 

  • Audi RS6 - rear seats

    Low seating in the rear means headroom is good. There's enough room for three.

  • Audi RS6 - boot

    Maximum capacity of 1,680 litres isn't far short of the SUV duo's, while at 565 litres with the seats in place, the RS6 has more room than the Range Rover. 

  • Audi RS6 - lights

    Audi has made the RS6's light signature very distinctive - the car gets LED headlamps with a sharp running light design that's reflected at the rear. LED indicators sweep in the direction you're turning, too, making the RS6 particularl

  • Audi RS6 - exhaust

    The RS6 is quiet on the motorway, yet the deep V8 rumble brings the car to life on a country road. 

  • Audi RS6 - static

    Flared wheelarches, deep bumpers and big wheels transform the standard A6 Avant into a muscular, aggressive-looking estate car.

    "With the RS6, keeping it simple is the key to a satisfying driving experience. Don't be tempted by the larger alloy wheel options and £1,210 Dynamic steering set-up, as they spoil the Audi's excellent ride and handling balance." - Dea
