2022 BMW X5 vs. Porsche Cayenne: Performance

Every 2022 Porsche Cayenne comes standard with all-wheel drive, so you can move confidently through any obstacles that appear in your path. Although the X5 does offer all-wheel drive as an option, you’ll have to pay extra to access the feature. What’s more, this certainly isn’t the only area where the Cayenne comes out ahead. Check out each model’s engine options to see exactly what we mean.

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne and the 2022 BMW X5 are close competitors, but the Cayenne provides more engine options—and significantly more power—as you move down the lineup:

Cayenne Engine Options

  • 335-hp Twin-Turbocharged V6
  • 434-hp Twin-Turbocharged V6
  • 458-hp Twin-Turbocharged V8
  • 541-hp Twin-Turbocharged V8
  • 631-hp Twin-Turbocharged V8

If you opt for the Cayenne E-Hybrid, you’ll receive a plug-in hybrid powertrain that outputs up to 455 hp without compromising on efficiency.

X5 Engine Options

  • 335-hp Turbocharged i6
  • 523-hp Twin-Turbocharged V8
  • 600-hp Twin-Turbocharged V8

The BMW X5 PHEV is impressive in its own right, but with just 389 hp, it might leave you wanting more when you’re out and about in Westlake Village and Malibu.

2022 BMW X5 vs. Porsche Cayenne: Reliability

Both the 2022 Porsche Cayenne and the 2022 BMW X5 come backed by a four-year, 50,000-mile limited basic warranty, but drivers who dig into the details will see that the Cayenne is a smarter buy. That’s not just our opinion: the experts at J.D. Power have given the latest Cayenne a predicted reliability score of 81 out of 100—a great score, according to their scale. The BMW X5 has earned a score of 77 out of 100, which is a little above average for the segment.
