i cross shopped cayenne and X5 and realized cayenne is too expensive compared to X5 so I went with Rav4.

[elz]

Had 2 x5 and now I have the 23 cayenne. Cayenne is super sporty and very rigid on the road. Bmw offers both comfort and sport.

I cross shopped the 24 Cayenne and X5 (6-cyl). I wanted to like the Porsche so badly but was let down every time I test drove it. Porsche SUVs are not like their sports cars. I went with the X5.

[권밴쿠버]

I do have x3 and x5 as well. X5 looks so powerful like a Transformer. It runs as well as we expect and never disappointing.

The price difference is actually much greater than advertised. I have a Cayenne on lease and if I wanted to get another one, it would cost me an additional $800 per month over what I am paying now. Part of this is because Porsche will not build their vehicles without minimum upgrades. So not only has the base price increased but you need to equip a Cayenne with a minimum of $20, 000 of add-ons.

I owned a 2021 Cayenne base coupe and now have a 2024 X5 50 e and I would take the X5 all day over the Cayenne. The Cayenne S with the V8 is nice but in the US you’re talking about $110k minimum for a Cayenne S with options vs $82k for the X5 with options. If price is any factor at all, the X5 is easily the better choice.
When I purchased my 50e, I drove it back to back with a 2023 Macan S and the 50e won me over. The difference in handling is not that noticeable at all in my opinion. It’s an SUV, neither are going to handle like a 911 and if that’s your primary goal, get a sports car and not an SUV. Nice review, appreciate the detail.

Great in-depth video, thank you! May I offer a suggestion in terms of sound production of the video? I noticed that the music interlude is much louder than the sections when the presenter is speaking. If I listen with headphones and adjust volumes so that the spoken words are at a comfortable volume, whenever the music comes on it becomes uncomfortably loud. Other than that fantastic video and keep up with the great work!

The easy summary is that the Cayenne is a superior car (obviously) but you get more tech and bang for your buck with the X5. You also get better lease deals etc with BMW.

[HiddenWen]

With a few options, a base Cayenne is more expensive than even an x7. I've driven an x7, and the driving experience is only slightly less responsive than the Cayenne. But in exchange, you get way more space, and amazingly even better fuel economy.

[usmanladan]

Both vehicles are good in their own ways. If I can afford, I will get both.

[travwill]

Have a new 2024 X5 50e, loving it. Drive 100% electric most days with a good 50 miles of range it seems almost available. Super comfy ride and nice tech/interior agree.

[WingsOfPeaceToronto]

I drove both, X5 and Cayenne - X5 was bit more comfortable but the ride was "floaty" - where as Cayenne seats were bit more stiff in comparison - but not uncomfortable, but the ride was not floaty (and more fun).

[ackyash]

Here in India X5 and X7 way too common. If you want to to be different from the crowd, Cayenne is the way to go.

I have a 2019 X3 and a 2022 X5. The awesome thing about the X5 is actually the B58 motor. I have a friend who just bought a base Cayenne and other than the fantastic PDK transmission and a little more rigid chassis, it has nothing on the X5 because of this motor. Plus if you do a few mods, with very little money you are in the 450HP territory fast. And believe me that motor can handle it without any issue. My X3 has the B48 motor, the 4 cylinder, and since it's out of warranty I did a couple of mods for less than 2500 dollars and it sends 310 HP at the wheels right now. it is a little monster SUV also.

Only small notice Sam: Cayenne didn't come from Germany, it comes from Slovakia, from Bratislava... There is a plant where all VW big SUV are produced - Cayenne, Audi Q7/Q8 and ale VW Touareg...

BMW looks SOOOO much better than the Porsche.

[Luminary]

I think the bmw is better because Porsche dealership markups are steeper in some cases so the msrp price difference isn’t always representative of the overall price difference you pay in the real world.
And I feel like the bmw gives sufficient comfort, speed and handling + you’d save some $ as well.
Cayenne is really nice though

[petermacgregor]

The Porsche for looks everyday of the week. Kidneys don't do it for me. I have a 2023 Cayenne GTS Coupe in Black.

[MrVuTran]

Performance wise, what's the difference between 2024 Cayenne S and the 2023 Cayenne GTS?

[ryanthedope]

Great video, I’ve always wanted to see a comparison video between X5 and cayenne, thanks for making it come true, please keep up the good work!!❤
