I pick Porsche

This was great and thank you for the evaluation and impressions. I have a Cayenne and very happy with it. Perhaps vehicle cost with certain packages would be good as well?

Only issue with the facelift of BMW5 is not having physical buttons anymore for temperature control

Good assessment. The BMW and Porsche are very closely matched. After test driving every other interesting luxury SUV, it came down to the Cayenne and X5 far above the rest of the competition. For me, comfort was the deciding factor. The multi-contour seats in the X5 are the most comfortable of all the cars I tried. Even with the fully upgraded Porsche seats, the BMW was still more comfortable. Been very pleased with the 2024 xDrive 40i, but I’m sure I would have been just as happy with the Cayenne. They’re both fantastic vehicles.

Please note, the sport seat from cayenne 2024 more comfortable then X5M 2023. Please be fares.

@@ibrahimalmotawa967 It depends on the seats. Many X5M come with the carbon fiber seats. In that case, the Porsche seats can be more comfortable. I’m talking about the BMW 20 way multi-contour seats in Merino leather. That’s what I have in my 2024 X5 and to me it was more comfortable than the Porsche sports seats by far. I’m also fairly tall at 188cm/6’ 2”, so having a separate recline for the top of the seat is really nice. Also, the little wings on the headrest support your head very well and reduce neck strain. The Porsche seats are nice, but I prefer this specific BMW seat.

@@DumbDogIsDumbPorsche are much more expensive than bmw if you can’t afford it 😂

[@DumbDogIsDumb]

@@alexlee1501 LOL. OK legit rich guy. If you’re ok driving a Volkswagen with uncomfortable seats, then good for you. I hear the “Porsche” seats can be ok for woman and small men, so it makes sense that it would be perfect for a short little half man like you.

Very fair assessment Fully agreed with your statement

X5 all day! Benz front looks like a small pickup and the Porch looks 20 yrs vintage just my opinion
