2015 BMW X5 M (F85) vs. Porsche Cayenne Turbo Comparison In-Depth Review
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com http://www.caradvice.com.au/353225/2...arison-review/ Verdict: Though their ‘more is more’ pitches leave both hyper-SUVs wanting for very little, value – that $45K question – certainly creeps into the bottom line. Yes, the Cayenne Turbo is slightly more flexible in offering a degree of off-road adaptability, but both hang their ultimate heroics, beyond their myriad niceties, on tarmac-tearing prowess. And it’s the X5 M that nails its promise most confidently…lightness and simplicity be damned. |

Cayenne looks dated versus the X5M

What a load of garbage. So the X5 wins because it's cheaper? Well guess what the natural competitor for the 560hp X5M would be a 560hp Cayenne turbo S. It would be fun to see them complain about price when it goes head to head with that!
The X5 is nothing more than a high riding station wagon. It can't even go off-road a foot away from the pavement - it ends up getting stuck miserably. Dubai is the land of offroading and even here nobody ever makes the mistake of taking an X5 offroad. The Cayenne handles sand dunes with ease. X5 (M) IMO is a glorified soccer mom crossover wagon. Better get the ///M5 which is a purpose built super saloon rather than a wannabe SUV with an M5 powerplant. It's like comparing an M4 to a 911. They both are built for the same purpose. M4 costs less, but the 911 does everything better. |

That's the first I've seen of a DTC shifter on an auto transmission. Is that getting common now, or is it indeed a first?

the X5M wins hands down for exterior design- Porsche as usual takes a perfectly good design and they f it up on the LCI which they clearly did here.
However.... The quality of the Porsche interior- however dated, is undeniable. So perhaps a better question for all you Bimmer lovers out there is this- How much would the X5M be if it used the exact same quality materials on the interior (and updated some too) as the Cayenne? I think the price diff would drop by 50%......... Still, lol I would take a RR Sport S/C over all this....... For England! |
