The BMW X5 vs. The Volvo XC90

We begin our comparisons with the Volvo XC90, a new mid-sized SUV to the Volvo lineup, but one that has a good reputation so far. However, this Volvo SUV falls short of the BMW X5 in a variety of important ways, especially when it comes to providing a powerful and efficient engine. While both have turbocharged performance to offer, the BMW X5 has an available inline six-cylinder (I6) underneath its hood and, thus, generates a lot more power and top speed with its extra cylinders, whereas the engine of the Volvo XC90 is an inline four-cylinder model. The BMW X5 also comes standard with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system for maximum traction while the Volco XC90 comes standard with front-wheel drive.

The BMW X5 vs. The Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 is another fairly well-known luxury SUV that brings a decent amount of passenger volume to the luxury SUV segment but falls short drastically when it comes to cargo volume. When you need more space for cargo, especially when golfing at West Hills Country Club in Middletown, the BMW X5 has got your back and then some! If you need some extra capability for transporting additional heavier items, such as small campers and U-Haul trailers, the BMW X5 is ready and willing with a maximum towing capacity of over 7,000 pounds. The Audi Q7 falls short in this regard as well, and can tow almost 4,000 pounds, diminishing the rang of transportable items you can take with you on long or short-distance journeys.

The BMW X5 vs. The Mercedes-Benz GLE

A key difference between these two brands is the amount of technology that comes standard on them. While the Mercedes-Benz brand typically offers one trim level for many of their vehicles, including the GLE Class, most Mercedes-Benz dealership have you add on the extra technology you need a la carte, forcing you to pay extra for such technological necessities as front and rear parking assist, a navigation system and additional speakers for the sound system. Meanwhile all of these options come standard on a BMW X5, with all trim levels featuring a wide array of speakers and surround sound for an entertaining drive no matter if it is long-distance or to Monroe, NY.

The BMW X5 vs. The Lexus GX

Finally, we turn to the Lexus brand and its GX SUV. The Lexus GX features a 4.6L V8 engine in its base trim level. However, this engine still falls short dramatically in terms of total horsepower and efficiency as it lacks a turbocharger. This mid-sized SUV also comes standard with front-wheel drive, thus, if you were to choose its base trim level, you would find traction to be lacing when driving on adverse road conditions. The BMW X5 comes standard with the BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system and Dynamic Dampening Control for maximum traction and turning efficiency.
