    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    Let's rephrase it, 2 adults and 3 young adults. Pending gender of young adults, luggage will increase exponentially regardless duration of stay :CWL:

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    As @mirto said, you have to know when enough is enough. X3 seems goldilocks in terms of range, weight and styling. Am I mistaken or is iX60 faster than iX5 60?

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    Very true until you reach areas with suboptimal charging infrastructure, occupied or broken chargers. For me in UK, battery in Cayenne is good enough. 200+ miles range with 20% battery in reserve. Had broken chargers or ICE occupied chargers in the past, caught by surprise as they show green on...

    3.49 T is maximum load, 5 adults and 5 bags/suitcases. Some countries starting to measure weight.

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    No age discrimination please 😂. Eventually the Turbo will kill a few, lots of young motorcyclists with no protection in heatwave driving like crazy through dense traffic on city motorways but underestimating electric car‘s acceleration. Had two near misses already. Luckily you hear them with...

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    Let’s see and wait. The Cayenne already feels bigger and less agile as compared to Macan. Weight difference for x5 is double. If horse power and acceleration are any indication (578 hp, 4.7 s) it will feel sluggish at lower speeds due to weight. Gross vehicle weight is shy of 3.5T (20 kg)...

    To Include Porsche Active Ride Option On A Cayenne “S” or Turbo???

    So finally had an empty road that I usually drive 2 times a week. It has a tight roundabout which, due to visibility, you can take at around 40 mph. It’s basically a 270 degree sharp corner - managing well but you notice the cars weight and leaning slightly. It’s a more extreme test and lower...

    My Cayenne base EV finally arrived (first impressions, reviews, updates)

    Yes you can see them at middle height, that’s my city setting. Usually have seat all the way down as car feels higher than Macan. I would say, viability (rear for sure) is slightly better as in Macan. Only downside, drivers display seems a little bit more blocked by steering wheel on settings I...

    WHAT!!!!! My experience with Porsche Germany is quite the opposite. Long wait, standard useless email response. Their number for sure is a keeper, hope we all don't need to ask you :CWL: .

    Clash of car enthusiasts and bureaucrats work ethics. Loss of track your dreams didn’t help either. Can’t say that I was overly impressed or disappointed with communication from my dealer in regards to build updates. What I can say however, aftersales for both of my Macan EV was...

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    Back to the original topic. Looks like BMW has a problem. Neue Klasse X3 is undoubtedly a masterpiece in terms of range but this was at the price of reduced comfort options to reduce overall weight. X5 can't do this, the car is heavier due to size and expected comfort features in that class. To...

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    I clicked too many options already, in my case it's kind of a good thing that those additional options were not available at time of order :CWL: . Don't forget, there might be the typical 3-4% yearly price increase for MY27.

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    This would kind of explain ride comfort and noise insulation some of us have experienced - sporty but luxurious. We will know for sure later this year, wouldn’t be surprised if new, upgraded massage seats come from Bentley. Guess we get more wheel options 😂.

    [Competition] - the BMW iX5 M60 looks strong

    Did overlay images, I think is more than sharing a lot of the tech. Roof line, windows and doors looks identical with minor changes to wheel arches, window frame and lower doors. Some changes to the back and significant changes to the front, probably 20 cm longer. Removing the side skirts with...

    Wouldn't read too much into it. Couple of things are not accurate (changing HUD is as simple as it gets, you just need to read the manual) and comparison to other cars likely from recollection, if at all.

    To Include Porsche Active Ride Option On A Cayenne “S” or Turbo???

    Like RAS, you will end up with divided opinions. Only way to be sure is to test-drive for a weekend or just go with your guts. Normal suspension is pretty good (excellent in fact) on 21 wheels. If you can live with your Macan, you would be very happy with your Cayenne in terms of comfort. Macan...

    I have no comparison to active ride, but in comfort on 21 it's very smooth. No sure if suspension is significantly different compared to normal, but throttle response is smoother.

    Finally delivery day! First Cayenne electric of the dealership. - Mystic Green | 21” RS Spyder

    This is such a personal decision, on Coupe S I would do it though. Not really needed on black like mine, but blue is different.

    And thats not even the electric version. Mid to luxury cars in Europe getting incredibly expensive but the gap between ICE and EV closes (ICE seem to get more expensive though). I like to think base Cayenne EV is very reasonably prised all things considered. There is a lot of price competition...
