BMW X5 vs Cadillac XT6

Performance of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle®

Elizabethton and Bristol enthusiasts know to expect thrills from a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle® (SAV®). Can the 2021 XT6 live up to the X5 when it comes to pure performance?

The Cadillac XT6 certainly serves up impressive power. Look under the hood, and you'll spot the standard turbo engine with 237 horsepower (HP) or the available 310-horsepower V6. While an output like this can deliver an exciting daily drive, the BMW X5 offers more variety-and more power:

• 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder: 335 HP
• 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder with electric motor: 389 HP
• 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8: 523 HP (X5 M50i) or 600 HP (X5 M)

With the BMW M line, you can expect more than just power from your X5. An M performance-tuned configuration will give you a suspension, differential, and braking system specially tuned to add exhilaration to every drive!

BMW X5 vs Cadillac XT6: Plug-In Hybrid Power

If you're ready to journey into the future with a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the BMW X5 may be your choice over the Cadillac XT6. Only the former offers plug-in hybrid power.

Electrify your drive and improve your efficiency every day. The X5 plug-in hybrid offers so much more than 389 horsepower on tap: It also allows an all-electric range of 30 miles. With the longest range available for a BMW plug-in hybrid, it makes your shorter trips emissions-free.

While the Cadillac XT6 can earn an EPA-estimated 23 combined city/highway MPG, you'll have that beat in the BMW X5. It earns 50 combined MPGe while in all-electric mode!
