Porsche’s Cayenne sport utility vehicle won two of the more prestigious awards offered by the American and European automotive communities.

The 2010 Cayenne won Motor Trend magazine’s “Sport/Utility of the Year”, beating out fifteen contenders to earn the accolades of one of America’s premier automobile publications.

The editorial staff at Motor Trend compared SUVs by six criteria: design, technology, fuel efficiency, safety, value stability and performance, and the Cayenne came out on top.

The cayenne also won the Golden Steering Wheel, awarded by German publishing house Springer-Verlag.

Springer-Verlag, which publishes 28 different automotive magazines in 23 countries, polled 250,000 readers. The Cayenne was their favorite.

This is Porsche’s fourth Golden Steering Wheel. The company won in 2000 with the 911 Turbo, in 2005 with the Carrera GT, and in 2009 with the Panamera.
