Town between Cayenne S EV and upcoming BMW iX5

[Luminated67]

BMW always had the better lease deals here in NL as well.

@Luminated67 can you share the iX5 and Cayenne S configs you made? That's a big difference.

When I did it I was comparing against my Cayenne S Coupe which is a bit dearer than the regular Cayenne S but here’s the spec I picked on the iX5M60 versus the equivalent Cayenne S, roughly £22K different.

The iX5 and the Cayenne might share the same basic purpose and are similar size but based on my drive of the iX3 compared to the Cayenne I reckon the iX5 will be based very much on comfort rather than handling. I’m expecting it to be quieter on all road surfaces and absorb imperfections better but it will understeer when pushed and become unsettled the harder you drive it. If none of those things bother you then I reckon the iX5 will be hard to beat, the tech on the BMW is so well sorted and I reckon it will probably get closer to claimed range than the Cayenne will.

I can’t credit that cars are approaching 3 ton, the sooner solid state batteries start production the better.
