Comparison tests Motortrend: BMW X3 M vs. X6 M, Cayenne Turbo Coupe, GLE63 S AMG, and Levante Trofeo

[SKY]

5th Place: 2020 Maserati Levante Trofeo
Looks the business, doesn't drive it.
4th Place: 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S
Technically capable, a bit boring.
3rd Place: 2020 BMW X3 M Competition
Stellar engine, awful ride.
2nd Place: 2020 BMW X6 M Competition
Fast, impressive, but lacking the final polish.
1st Place: 2020 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe
A 911 in SUV clothing. Why buy anything else?

Except for the Porsche all the other cars seem flawed.

 

[Grosser]

Why the f was Porsche on Corsa tyres?

The Porsche has the biggest flaw of them all: it looks FWD. I saw one today, and the front overhang struck me again, it is Lexus RX bad.

Yeah right. The X6 M is too hardcore for those pussies, and in my book it wins.

I initially loathed the looks of the Cayenne Coupe. Over time I have done a complete u-turn and think it looks quintessentially Porsche. It's the one coupe shaped SUV I would consider buying.

The X6 M is too hardcore for those pussies, and in my book it wins.

M SUVs are unapologetic about their identity as performance SUVs, while the Cayenne Turbo is more rounded off in order to pass the "Wife test".

^ Agreed on both accounts; the looks of the Cayenne Coupe and the hardcore-ness of the X3/5/6 M
