The midsize luxury SUV segment is exceptionally competitive, especially where big-name German rivals like Porsche and BMW are concerned. Neither manufacturer will leave you wanting more, but only one model can take home the crown in the 2022 Porsche Cayenne vs. BMW X5 matchup. With more engine options, more power across the lineup, and a higher predicted reliability score, we think that the Cayenne is far and away the better option for discerning drivers. Ready for a closer look? Our Cayenne vs. X5 comparison has all the details.
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:
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.
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.
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.
