Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT5 as you will with the Porsche Cayenne, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Cadillac XT5 is a better financial choice over the Porsche Cayenne, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 is much slimmer than the Porsche Cayenne, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Cadillac XT5 is slightly shorter than the Porsche Cayenne, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has a smaller turning radius than the Porsche Cayenne, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Cayenne is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT5 has a lot less horsepower than the Porsche Cayenne.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Porsche Cayenne.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Porsche Cayenne. The Cadillac XT5 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Cayenne.
