I don't really understand this comparison request.

The DBX new is twice the price of the X7 while being smaller with less cargo space, which is by design. While the X7 depreciates for sure, the DBX's depreciation is catastrophic, essentially losing half its resale value in the first year or so.

Even if you are buying one used for around 175k-200, that's still quite a bit more than an X7, plus maintenance costs will be higher, tech will be lower (especially infotainment), insurance will be higher, and the difficulty of service will be higher given less dealers/mechanics/parts available.

You are essentially paying for the badge and ~.8 seconds faster 0-60. At that point, just get the X7 tuned.

My advice - take $175k, buy the X7 M60i AND a mid-2000s Porsche Cayman. Have a fantastic 2 car garage.
