Comparison Review

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Cadillac XT5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Porsche Macan.

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 Macan, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT5 is a little narrower than the Porsche Macan, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Porsche Macan.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Macan 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 Macan.

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 Macan.

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 Macan. The Cadillac XT5 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Macan.
