BMW 🤛🤛🔥🔥 The Boss

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.

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!

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.

@@kenoh818 the car Sam drive (V8 + loaded with options) is $150k in the US. I drove the V6, which was 100K. As Sam mentioned, the BMW B58 engine is almost as quick as the Porsche V8. So the straight line acceleration in the Cayenne V6 was underwhelming. Also, being an Audi/VW V6, it felt coarse in comparison to the inline B58. I wasn’t expecting to feel the vibration that I did in the Porsche. The interior of the Porsche felt very plain and underwhelming, especially for a 100k car. Again, it was not loaded with options like Sam’s. The sound system was mediocre, and Porsche still puts subwoofer in the doors, which is the worst place for them. The Bose rattled, which was unacceptable. The X5 has subwoofers under the seats, in the structure of the car. Zero vibration. Also, at 85k, the X5s interior is IMO far better than the 100k Cayenne I drove. The ambient lighting is no comparison. It’s an afterthought in the Porsche. I wish Sam showed the Panoramic Sky Lounge lighting. It is so cool. Finally, the Porsche’s backup camera was extremely low resolution. That’s right, on a 2024 redesign with a 100k price tag. And I mean LOW resolution, like something you’d find on a 2012 car. Having spend a fair bit of time in Porsche sports cars, I expected the same degree of perfection. I didn’t get that feeling. I really love Porsche as a company, which is why I felt so let down. For the price, the X5 can’t be beat IMO. If I’m spending 100k, I’d do the Range Rover Sport or X5 M60i which is an absolute beast.

X5

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.

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!!❤

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

exactly what I been looking for

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).

Me too

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.

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.

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.

The X5 is not a new generation. It’s a LCI, likewise with the Cayenne.

Personally, I’d take the Cayenne. I own a 2011 BMW 328i xDrive 6 speed manual wagon, and a 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS. BMW is not what it used to be - driving dynamics have gotten worse, build quality isn’t quite as good as it was 15 years ago, and the screens with no physical buttons are why I’m never gonna buy a new BMW again. If you like the look of the unintegrated screens and don’t need the best driving SUV then go for the X5, but if you’re already spending $80,000+ I’d go with the Cayenne, simply because it drives better, looks better, and feels nicer inside and out

21:58 Actually EV cars should NOT be allowed in the HOV lane because they don’t have engines the have to idle. Gas cars should be allowed to get where they are going asap to be more energy efficient. If you can spare the time in your EV it would help the world to let less efficient cars not all pile up burning gas.

X5 is definitely more practical with better vision from driver’s seat, more room and you can switch it between sport and comfort. The Cayenne offers more dynamic and joy for the driver and that’s it.

I comprehend why Porsche believes it is necessary to maintain a consistent design language, but the appearance remains monotonous and hardly distinguishable from its initial release.
