We got a Cayenne S, X5 4.8 and Q7 4.2 in my family, all 3 of them are mainly for traveling to china.
i still prefer the Cayenne over the rest, the characteristic is just much more sporty, and drives more like a car compare to the others. But we didnt order air suspension for our cayenne, which was a big mistake. the ride is harsher then my M3. since our cayenne came with 20" rims and the steel suspension is set at a pretty stiff level. the V8 on the cayenne sounds fabulous. much better then the V8 in audi or BMW. also so far its been very reliable
In the Q7, we opted for the air sus, and this truck is alot more comfortable. but the engine and handling cant be compared with the Cayenne. not to mention the Q7 is alot larger and seats 7. The Q7 is also the most problematic. we had it for about 2 months, and wipers didnt work, the rear hatch wont close, the driver seat rail got stuck and alot of smaller problems.
We just took delivery of the X5 2 weeks ago. it feels a little bit slower then the cayenne, but alot more high tech. comfort is about the same. i guess the only reason it feels high tech is maybe the navigation actually works in the BMW.... |
