What's Faster In A Straight Line: Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, BMW X5 M Or Porsche Cayenne Turbo S?
The guys from Pistonheads and Autocar thought they'd put together three of the hottest SUVs for a drag race to see which is the fastest
Now you’ve made your prediction, watch the video and see if you were right!
Find out what we had to say about the standard Porsche Cayenne Turbo, then read more about the BMW X5 M.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I think the Cayenne Turbo S
If Volvo would make an XC90 Polestar, it’d definitely be a competitor to these three ;)
You beat me to this one
X5
Oh man new post! Quick I gotta think of something funny to post to get top comment!!!
That didn’t go well
Has to be the BMW X5 for me.
Looks, power, handling - it has everything.
Handling? Not really.
Why did the SRT do so poorly in the 2nd run, going off the first run, the SRT should have been nipping at the Bimmer’s heels, if not chugging past it using all 6.4L of NA goodness.
(NA totally means North America BTW)
6.4L? N/A though. They ain’t putting that 6.2L S/C HEMI V8 inside yet.
german engineering
Maybe because it has about 100 hp less than the rest
It is about the tires and power delivery the X5 has 335 wide on the rear verses the 295 on the grand Cherokee and while the launch control on the jeep is good it is nothing compared to that of the BMWs. I have had the privilege of driving all 3 of the SUVs on this list and was not in the least bit surprised by the results.
Power isn’t everything. Clarkson probably wouldn’t agree with this one.
Oh wait… it’s a drag race….
X5 hands down
Was this necessary? Do people who buy these care? Personally I find new mainstream SUV’s useless.
Even little do they know, but it was close
Would rather have a supercharged Range
an SVR would be an option
