Don't get me wrong- the Cayenne is extremely complex to do what it does, and also has supercar level maintenance costs and reliability issues, even in the base models which basically just have regular VW passenger car engines. The rest of the car is still complex and expensive "supercar parts." They can do unique things, and you pay a huge price for being able to do them- shuttling your kids in something so over-engineered and complex is basically ridiculous- although fun if you can afford it and have other cars as backup. If most of the parts on your car are identical to a Lamborghini Urus which can drive 190mph, none of them will be cheap to fix or replace, even if you have a tiny VW Jetta VR6 engine under the hood. Even just a regular brake job is expensive because the brakes are massive Brembo monoblock brakes, even on a base model.
