TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 BMW X5 is a big SUV on a big budget that does nearly everything great.

The 2020 Porsche Cayenne offers hybrid models, but fuel economy isn’t its best look. For that you’ll want to check out the new Taycan electric car.

TCC Likes

Beautiful interior
Spacious cabin
Standard 10.3-inch touchscreen

Performance, meet SUV
Sleek interior finally ditches the buttons
High level of personalization

TCC Dislikes

Expensive top trims
Dizzying number of options
Cramped third row

Big SUV with a penchant for fuel
Might be too stiff for some, even in its softest settings
Porsche excellence comes with Porsche pricing
