Class winner: Caravan Weight Over 1700kg and Class entrant: Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

 

Judges' comments:

"The Cayenne's beautiful blend of handling precision and power is still on offer when a caravan is hitched to the back. There's very little movement from the outfit at low and high speeds and the whole car feels very balanced, and never unwieldy."
