HP on its own means nothing but in this highly competitive performance class at 4,400+ pounds, power to weight matters. The X3M / CP will not get too much lighter and for it to compete, the CP will need to bring @500HP. IMO, target should be looking towards the Stelvio QV (@4,300 pounds at 505HP) and the GLC AMG63S (@4,500 pounds at 510HP). Vehicles are compared via power, weight, 1/4 mile, 0-60 and cargo capacity posted in a nice chart provided my Max Well. From a performance perspective and all things equal, 600HP > 450HP. Let's also not forget cargo capacity because that is one of the major reasons to jump into this class.
