Compact luxury crossover-SUV: Porsche Macan
Finalists: Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz GLC
No one can deny the influence that Porsche had on the entire industry when the brand unveiled the first Cayenne. Since then, the competition has been trying its best to replicate the prowess of Porsche SUVs.
Aside from its actual dimensions, there’s little that’s “small” about the Cayenne's little brother. The Porsche Macan is a formidable SUV to drive on a daily basis or even on a racetrack. Proof that considerations other than trustiness and reliability do also count when determining retained value!
