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 BMW iX is a better financial choice over the Porsche Cayenne, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW iX is about the same width as the Porsche Cayenne. When looking at overall length, the BMW iX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Porsche Cayenne.

Handling
The BMW iX has a larger turning radius than the Porsche Cayenne, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW iX has a little more horsepower than the Porsche Cayenne.

Powertrain
The BMW iX has much lower torque than the Porsche Cayenne, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW iX and the Porsche Cayenne. With the BMW iX, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Porsche Cayenne.
