The 2021 Porsche Cayenne is an ultra-luxury SUV from Porsche that has a lot to offer. Being a Porsche, you can expect that the 2021 Cayenne rides like a sports sedan even though it is a large SUV. The Cayenne also comes with creature comforts well above most luxury SUVs in this category. With a roomy cabin and plenty of luggage space, the 2021 Cayenne is guaranteed to deliver a superb ride in sheer luxury. When it comes to the 2021 BMW X4, buyers get a well-refined SUV that may not exactly compare to the Cayenne in many aspects but is still a robust sporty SUV. Here is a comparison between these two cars.

Design & Style

The Cayenne was already an outstanding car and the 2021 model looks even better with a few refinements. The low-slung profile of the car, the large sporty wheel, and the flared sides all make the Cayenne a beauty to behold. Inside, the Cayenne is full of luxury features and everything is placed within reach of the driver. The Cayenne also features a generous trunk which makes family trips a lot easier. When it comes to the 2021 X4, buyers get a well-styled SUV that also comes with a roomy cabin. There are significantly fewer luxury features in the X4 as compared to the Porsche Cayenne. The luggage space in the BMW X4 is also significantly smaller.

Technology & Safety

The car also comes standard with satellite navigation, a 16-speaker Bose audio system, and much more. Smartphone integration is included as standard as well. In the BMW X4, buyers can expect to get an 8-inch infotainment system that runs on BMW’s iDrive software. While intuitive and easy to use, the system can be a little sluggish, especially when handling multiple commands. The 2021 X4 also comes with smartphone integration among other features.

Performance

When it comes to the 2021 X4, you get a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that is also superb on the road. Though far less powerful than the Cayenne, the X4 still delivers an excellent ride.
