Escalade.
Range Rover
The Cayenne is apparently surprisingly decent off-road, and about as Porsche as a big luxo-SUV can be. Still not that reliable though, and parts have Porsche tax on them.
Lexus can't be beat for reliability, and the Cadillac Escalade at least has cheaper parts if they break. Your family won't get to brag about you driving a Land Rover or Porsche though.
Cadillac Escalade is the most reliable luxury suv you can get. Based on the Tahoe and Suburban, but has their own special suspension. New one even has some sort of locker system for 3 wheeling.
The Land Cruiser/Lexus LS is so much better in every single respect than a Range Rover or Cayenne that it bottles my mind anyone buys those cars. Range Rovers are at least a half pretend offroader, the Cayenne is just a big VW crossover that's in a constant state of falling apart.
>Cadillac Escalade is the most reliable luxury suv you can get
Is that a joke? My FJ80 had 242k miles on it with nothing but regular service. Look at your local craigs, check Landcruiser prices and mileage, then look at the same for Escalades, will show you how they withstand the test of time.
Edmunds has the "5 year average price to own" of maintenance at just under 6k.
Doesn't seem that bad if you are already able to afford one.
>Is it worth the money?
no
Thanks. Can I assume that Touareg and Q7 are as bad as Cayenne because they are from the same company?
My old man ran a business wrecking and repairing old range rovers. But I have a distinct memory of him scrapping an entire P38 because the cost to fix the air con in it was more then replacing the entire engine.
Modern rangies are not rangies any more and while they are great cares the define what a money pit is.
They're virtually the same car underneath, except worse because Porsche at least has some sense of quality.
