2020 BMW X6 vs Porsche Cayenne

What's the difference?

SUVs are so hot right now, and BMW’s X6 M Competition is the hottest high-riding coupe you can get until its German rivals bring in their high-powered equivalents.

In a lot of ways, the X6 M Competition is one of the most BMW-iest models available today; it's covered head to toe in luxurious features, its performance puts most sports cars to shame and it oozes a don’t-care-what-you-think swagger.

What more could you want from a modern BMW? Maybe high safety standards and a practical interior space? The X6 M Competition has those too.

Sure, you could go for the slightly cheaper and more conventionally styled X5 M Competition, but if you are spending more than $200,000 on a performance SUV, don’t you want to stand out from the crowd? And stand out the X6 M Competition certainly does.

There's no doubting that improvements to straight-line acceleration are always nice – and so is the option to go electric around town – but at the end of the day, the Turbo S E-Hybrid isn't worth the $39,100 premium it commands over the Turbo, which just so happens to be the better drive, anyway.

That said, the Turbo S-E Hybrid Coupe is currently in a league of its own. And contradiction or not, it also proves you can have you cake and eat it, too. So, if being the biggest and baddest means everything to you, there's only one logical choice in the Cayenne range...
