2020 Porsche Cayenne
vs. 2020 BMW X7
The Porsche Cayenne has long been a luxury SUV offering something different from other luxury brands. While most competitors primarily focus on comfort, Porsche places just as big a priority on performance. However, as the 2020 Cayenne proves, strong performance doesn't mean sacrificing comfort.

The Cayenne's impressive performance, sharp handling, and vivid feel make it the perfect SUV for drivers who want the space of an SUV, but the power of a sports car. To prove it, we're putting our favorite luxury sport SUV, the 2020 Porsche Cayenne, against the 2020 BMW X7, in a side-by-side comparison.

Power and Performance of the 2020 Porsche Cayenne
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne is one of the few SUVs that can rival a high-performance sports car in handling and acceleration capability. The Cayenne is offered with three different engines and four powertrain options, though every powerplant is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels.
With two rows of leather-trimmed seats for five people, the 2020 Porsche Cayenne includes 8-way power front seats. Options include 14-way front-seating power with 4-way power lumbar support, 18-power front sports-style seats, front- and rear-seat heating, rear-seat ventilation, a heated steering wheel, and front-seat massaging ability.
For comfort and convenience, the Cayenne has a dual-zone automatic climate control, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free calling and audio streaming, five USB ports, Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, a 10-speaker sound system, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment integration with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and navigation.
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne and the 2020 BMW X7 have similar capabilities when it comes to towing capacity, but the BMW X7 has a larger turning radius than the Porsche Cayenne, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots. When it comes to speed, the Cayenne is a clear winner with the base model able to reach a top speed of 152 mph (over 20 mph faster than the BMW X7).
