2019 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2019 BMW X6

At a glance, the new Porsche Cayenne and 2019 BMW X6 seem equally matched when it comes to power. Both include a V6 engine capable of producing up to 300 hp, for example. It’s what you do with that power that counts, though. Through cutting-edge engineering, the Porsche routinely outclasses the BMW:

• Towing: The Porsche Cayenne comes with a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. Compare that to the BMW X6, which tops out with a towing capacity of just 6,000 pounds.
• Engine: The Porsche Cayenne comes with a standard 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine, generating 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The Cayenne, on the other hand, is more powerful and comes with a 3.0L V6 engine that produces 340 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. This engine strength gives the Cayenne Base an impressive a 0-60 acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, making it one of the fastest Porsche models.

Interior Design

Drivers are met by available leather upholstery and premium trim materials in both the 2019 Porsche Cayenne and the 2019 BMW X6. That said, the Porsche offers a greater amount of space for both passengers than can’t be mustered by the BMW. The Porsche Cayenne cargo space is larger as well. The Porsche Cayenne brings up to 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space, while the BMW X6 tops out at 26.6 cubic feet.

Technology

Turning to technology, once more the new Porsche Cayenne and BMW X6 appear to hold pace, with each model presenting you with amenities like a touchscreen infotainment interface, navigation, and dual-zone automatic climate control. But the Porsche Cayenne still goes that extra mile by offering several features that either aren’t standard with the BMW or aren’t available at all on any trim, including the Porsche Cayenne model’s standard 10-speaker sound system, a more immersive driving soundscape than can be achieved by the 2019 BMW X6’s standard nine-speaker system.
