The Bimmer would get stuck on a golf course. A VW would then be required to save it. Why some people would buy a jacked-up 5-series is beyond me.

Have any one you guys actually driven any of these cars? Honestly you guys are comparing things u don’t even know about. I have a rrsc and hae a best friend with an x6 5.0 and honestly, the ride on the rr is much nicer than the BMW, it’s much smoother of pick up and honestly, from a roll with both cars in tip, you can’t say the BMW feels THAT much faster. The brakes on the range rover are much nicer feeling also. I’ve only ever driven the cayenne turbo and not the basebut it’s a porsche and it drives like a Porsche, so it’s much stiffer and more sporty feeling than both. Doesn’t mean its faster but that’s how it feels. For 83,000 I would much rather own the rrsc because the differnce in capabilities. The BMW and Porsche are made for street perotmace and the range is obviously made for both. So why don’t you guys actually do a real test yourself and actually see. I preffer the Rova anyday in my opinion.

here just supporting one another to ban bmw x6 and x6 to say that one is faster and accelerates faster than a Porsche Cayenne are very wrong. and also for some reason very evident cayenne has a higher cost than a x6.esos agan bad data is a comparison that is of the same year as those of 2011 and look for information on the pages of the manufacturers.

The chart simplify the numbers for us to see the difference and each unique features.I’m a car enthusiast and i always like cars or let’s say SUV.It’s because of larger space,number of seats for family used and deeper the power,engine,performance and fuel efficiency.

I just sold my 2010 X6 3.5i to buy a 2011 Porsche Cayenne S.

I test drove the Cayenne S with PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) and PTV Plus (Porsche torque Vectoring Plus). Both of these features were standard on the X6 as I bought it.

However, the real reason I sold my X6 to buy the porsche was not because of the brand name or 0-60 time (the x6 5.0i with with similar BHP actually beats the cayenne S 2011 in this regard). I’d say comparing the X6 5.0i to the Cayenne S 2011 is a good comparison. because:

a) both cars weigh roughly the same this time around.

b) x6 has a turbo charged engine producing approx 400 HP, whereby the Cayenne S produces the same HP from a naturally aspirated engine.

So let’s for a second overlook the fact that a naturally aspirated engine will obviously last longer in terms of durability (due to the reduced wear and tear).

The first, and most obvious reason I prefer the Cayenne S revolves around two worlds: “turbo lag”. The X6 suffers from non-linear acceleration. Meaning: when you accelerate, you get a certain amount of punch, but that punch varies over the RPM range, not due to the amount of pressure your foot places on the accelerator pedal, but it varies depending on when the turbos like to kick into full gear (which to my experience on my X6 3.5i was around the 110 -120kph range onwards).

The Cayenne, by comparison, has no problems in the department, for obvious reasons.

The second most important thing, and in all honesty, this was actually the one that tipped the scales for me: understeer. The X6 suffers MAJOR understeer. In fact, going into a corner at high speed was NOT something i was ever comfortable with in this car. Just didn’t give me the confidence to do so as the car always seemed to push out quite a bit. I believe this is due to the narrower tired up front compared to the beefy ones at the back.

I took the Cayenne S for a test drive, and I took a highway exit at moderate speed (that being 120kph). No understeer. nothing. I turned the wheel, kept it there, and the car followed my line. no corrections necessary.

oh, and the cayenne’s optional air suspension also helps make the ride more comfortable when u want it, and more aggressive and sporty when u want that too.

In the X6, i was stuck in sport mode. I refused to take my nephew out for a ride in his carseat for fear of him getting car sickness. can u imagine a 2 yearold strapped into his carseat bouncing around in the back?

Having said all this, I have to admit, that with all the options I put in my cayenne s (expected delivery January 2011), the premium I pay is about 27 thousand dollars over the X6 3.5i.

But if you were to compare the X6 5.0i and Cayenne S in terms of value for money… well, then you have equally priced vehicles. The x6 in this iteration would beat the cayenne 0-60 (as it should, with its turbo), but then the cayenne s would trash the X6 on the track (i.e. where it actually counts), because all four wheels have similar traction (tread) and the car suffers virtually no understeer, making it much easier to toss around the chicanes and hard corners. understeer, even in the real world, reduces driver confidence. I don’t know about you guys, but understeer (and oversteer in FWD cars) tends to make me feel disconnected from the vehicle i’m driving. I guess It forces me to make more guesswork and calculations before and during a turn than i’d like to.

Both cars can look ugly as sin, or damnright mean looking, depending on which side of the fence you’re standing on. But in terms of performance, I’m hardpressed to say…. the cayenne acts more like what it’s trying to be, whereas the X6 looks a lot meaner than it really is. (i.e. x6 = form over function) although the cayenne can essentially be blamed for the same thing (i.e. why would you turn an SUV into a sports car?)

I personally decided to buy the cayenne because I wanted a marriage proof vehicle (hahaha). Needed to make sure I had the extra room if I have kids soon. But ultimately, I bought it because I prefer the road clearance… being able to see the road ahead better than I would in a sedan or other sports coupe.

my two cents, as a person who has owned an X6 for a year and has driven the cayenne s 2011 extensively prior to ordering one.

As an owner of the X6, I would say it lacks two things. One, don’t try to stop light race because of the turbo lag and weight. Two, don’t care about off road but driving in the snow is scary because of the sport tires.

I think the 2 best cars are in  second place is the Porshe Cayenne Gts. in first place come the bmw x6 .for look the BMW come in third place the back spoiled it all. In second place come the porshe Cayenne . And the Range Rover come in second
