BMW X5 v Porsche Cayenne v Range Rover in off-road challenges

New expensive cars in off-road challenges are always interesting, but the guys from Carwow decided that the older models, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover, show that they are still capable of excitement and are not for the scrapyard.

The BMW X5 is powered by a 4.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 286 hp (210 kW) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Porsche Cayenne is powered by a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 335 hp (246 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. This is the first generation of this model, which has a 6-speed automatic transmission and AWD.

The Range Rover is the third luxury SUV in this challenge, and it is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine with 175 hp (129 kW) and 288 lb-ft (390 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Of course there were some rules. The winner of each race won three points, the runner-up two, and the third-place winner one point. If the car does not complete the challenge then it gets no points, while in the end the car with the most points wins. In the end, the Porsche Cayenne showed the most (14 points), the second place went to the BMW X5 (11 points) and the Range Rover was, shall we say, less successful (10 points).

How it all went, watch in the video:
