2022 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2022 BMW X5

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne and 2022 BMW X5 are two of the most popular luxury SUVs on the market. While they're very similar-looking, there are some differences in their designs, as well as in other features. Here's how they stack up against each other:

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The exterior design of the 2022 Porsche Cayenne is very similar to its predecessor, but there are some notable differences. The front grille is larger, though this doesn't increase its functionality as much as you might think. Instead, it's used to improve aerodynamics and make room for a wider array of sensors that help with automated driving functions.

The BMW X5 has also undergone several changes in recent years, but none quite as drastic as what we've seen on the 2022 Porsche Cayenne. The most obvious difference between the two models is their size: while they both have similar wheelbases (roughly 107 inches), this new X5 is taller by 1 inch and wider by 4 inches than its predecessor; so while it retains many features associated with SUVs like increased cargo space and added ground clearance for off-roading purposes, it's also designed for comfort rather than performance in mind-which means less emphasis on powertrain upgrades or stiff suspension systems compared with previous generations' models.

• Interior Design

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne and 2022 BMW X5 offer similar interior design features. Both have a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an 8.8-inch touchscreen and a four-zone climate control system. The display on the new SUV is significantly larger than the one on the old SUV, which has an instrument cluster in front of its center console.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne and 2022 BMW X5 both come with a variety of safety features that offer some peace of mind while driving.

• Front, side and curtain airbags are standard on both vehicles. The 2022 Porsche Cayenne also has a knee airbag for the front passenger seat in addition to optional adaptive cruise control (ACC) with steering assist and collision protection system, which are not available on the 2022 BMW X5.
• Both have electronic stability control (ESC) as well as hill hold assist and hill descent control to help you navigate inclines safely when going over 10 mph. However, only the 2022 Porsche Cayenne offers traction management system (TCS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and emergency brake assist as standard equipment; none of these are offered on the 2022 BMW X5 unless you opt for more expensive trim levels.

Performance

The 2022 BMW X5 comes standard with a 310-hp, 3.0L turbocharged I6 engine, while the 2022 Porsche Cayenne offers a 332-hp, 4.0L twin-turbo V8. Both engines are paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.

The 2022 BMW X5 has an estimated fuel economy rating of 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the 2022 Cayenne's V8 is rated at 19/26 mpg.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne has got all of the features you want and need, it's the most popular choice among families, and it's a great value for money. The 2022 BMW X5 is nice, but in our opinion, it can't compete with the performance and quality offered by the Cayenne. If you're looking to buy a new family car or sports car that will impress your friends, then this is definitely worth considering.
