TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 BMW X4 grasps for attention, while it drops the cargo-carrying, off-roading SUV pretense.

The 2016 Porsche Macan has almost all the rippling, muscular performance of the bigger Cayenne, in a slightly more compact, slightly less expensive package.

TCC Likes

Good look outside
Improved infotainment
The turbo-6 is tough to beat

Hot accel numbers
Cayenne-like spec sheet
PDK all the way

TCC Dislikes

Really expensive
Did we mention it costs a lot?
Not practical

Pricing is stiff, venturing into painful
"Five-seater" is really four
PDK-only, if that offends you
