Jim Sharifi: While the Cayenne offers a huge amount of trunk space compared to other Porsche models, it's not the largest cargo bay available in its class. Let's take a look at where it falls short.

Upfront in the Porsche Cayenne there is actually a pretty good amount of interior storage. Either front door has a large cut out that can hold a water bottle or maps or whatever else you need to put in there.

In the center console there are two really cool cup holders with these small levers that will hold your beverage firmly in place and keep it from moving around and inside the center console there is room for some CDs or your iPod which hooks right up to the stereo.

Now if you're looking for an SUV like the Porsche Cayenne you are probably a little bit curious about cargo space. Now the first thing you are going to notice when you step up to the Cayenne is this cool power lift gate that's remote controlled on the key fob, opens right up. Inside you have got about 24 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up and about 63 cubic feet if you fold them down.

Now you are going to lose about 3 feet overall if you go for the Hybrid model, which has a battery that takes up a little bit of extra space. If you need more cargo space in that, you are going to have to go elsewhere. The Acura MDX is a class leader with bout 83 cubic feet of cargo space.

While cargo space in the Cayenne is about average for the class, it's rare to find an SUV that combines this amount of utility and performance. Still the Cayenne is not the best choice if you need to hold a lot of gear.
