ReliabilityIndex, a leading industry analyst, puts Porsche second in its list of most reliable luxury cars, while the Mercedes-Benz trails way behind at 31, with an average 175 reported problems per 100 vehicles, well below the industry average.

For families, the GLE is by far the better pick of these two. While the Cayenne has 770 litres of cargo room, it has just 1,710 litres of storage when the rear seats are folded, and the rear seats feel far less spacious and accommodating than the GLE.
