Reviewers generally regard the Cayenne GTS as one of the most engaging SUVs available, praising its sharp steering, composed handling, and well-crafted interior materials. Most find the driving dynamics genuinely rewarding rather than merely sporty in name, and the cabin refinement is considered a strong point.
