Under the hoods of the base 2019 Cayenne and X5, you'll find two very powerful engines. In the Cayenne, a turbocharged V6 offers 335 horsepower, while in the X5, a turbocharged 6-cylinder also provides 335 horsepower. Both provide more than enough oomph for your daily drive.
If you're really looking for thrills, though, the Cayenne tops out with more raw power. Its available twin-turbocharged V8 boasts 541 horsepower, which'll get you from 0 to 60 MPH in an astonishing 3.7 seconds. The optional V8 in the X5, on the other hand, generates just 456 horsepower, falling short of the Cayenne.
