Secondly, the Cayenne has always been smaller than the X5 and that will continue with the newest iterations of each. The Porsche is quite cramped inside. Third, the X5 is way more competitively priced. RR Velar has looks going for it and that's all. The driving dynamics and interior material quality trail BMW. It's the same story for the RR Sport. |

Cant wait! I hope the plugin is out by August next year so I can replace my current 40e with one of these beauties.

Same here! Hoping it doesn’t take quite that long (G30 hybrid info was released December of the same year and launched in March), but definitely am eagerly awaiting more info on the hybrid/US diesel models.

That bottom center grille opening looks 2" too short.. could be wider.

What you are saying is you like the looks of the Cayenne and that's cool. We don't have to admit anything. Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder. To me and me alone I suppose, the Cayenne looks like a whale shark filter feeding. I like the looks of the X5 way better. From a looks perspective, I'd take any of the last 3 BMW X5 models over the 2019 Cayenne.

First, thanks for posting the pics. Appreciate seeing it on the road.
Sadly the redesign doesn’t do much for me over the F15. I really hoped BMW would kick it up a notch. Front is...well...odd. Need to see it in person. |

45e obviously indicates a bigger battery pack. I wonder what's the new size?

Umm everyone on here know that the Porsche Cayenne is now on a None rear wheel drive platform as before. It's know based on a front/AWD "Based" system. Which is a way of cutting corners. There's a reason why Bentley when with a RWD based platform AWD for the New Continental GT generation. Imagine the back lash BMW would get if it did that.

As a hard core bummer fan, I tried to convince myself to get a x5 instead of ranger over sport 4 years ago. I couldn't. With less than 5 grand over the x5 , Range Rover sport was simply miles ahead in terms of design and luxury( although the electronics and informatics are just simply ancient) .
Now the history is going to repeat again. My range over is 4 years old and I'm in the market for a plug-in hybrid suv and have a hard task of choosing between x5 and new ranger rover sport hybrid. Checking Land Rover USA website, I found the decision is not that hard after all: the new design, significant improvements in electronics, choices of colors and options put Range Rover sport ahead of the game again. And I'm a hardcore Bmw fan! |

Yes, because they needed to make the base full LED headlights different and less appealing than the upgraded matrix full LED with iconic hexagonal dual corona rings, while still retaining a hint that it's a BMW. They still look much better and more BMW than the base headlights on some current models (e.g. 3er) where there is not even a hint of corona rings but simply two pairs of small flat rectangles.

Looks like a tank to me. Waaay too big for my tastes. I'm sure it's nice though in typical BMW design.

Their interiors are great overall but BMW sweats the details more. This new X5 is pretty impressive from inside. |
