2019 BMW X5 vs. Lexus RX 350

• Right out of the gate, the BMW X5 packs a heartier punch with its potent 335-horsepower engine yielding 330 pound-feet of torque. This engine easily outpaces the Lexus RX 350, which caps out at 295 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.
• If your driving style calls for more power, the BMW X5 delivers with an optional turbocharged 456-horsepower V8 engine, which readily outperforms the Lexus RX 350's best efforts and provides you with more of the strength you need for your adventures.
• The BMW X5 offers considerably more cargo space than the Lexus RX 350, offering up to 72.3 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded down. That's plenty of room for groceries, luggage, and much more. The RX 350 only offers up to 56.3 cubic feet of space.
• When properly equipped with the BMW Icon Adaptive Headlights with Laserlight feature, the BMW X5 earns 2019 IIHS Top Safety Pick distinction, which is a testament to its crashworthiness as well as its excellent crash-avoidance technology such as automatic emergency braking. The Lexus RX 350, while generous with safety tech, misses the mark because of its lower headlight rating.
• BMW X5 models come standard with all-wheel drive. AWD is only offered as an option on the Lexus RX 350.

2019 BMW X5 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE

• The base BMW X5 effortlessly triumphs over the Mercedes-Benz GLE with regards to performance. With more horsepower and more torque, the X5 offers a more spirited driving experience. Upgrading the Mercedes-Benz GLE can help you catch up, but the X5's optional V8 engine still comes out on top.
• The BMW X5 offers a sportier ride than its rival, offering a smoother, more balanced ride and better grip thanks in part to its optional air-spring suspension.
• You'll find that the BMW X5 is better suited for long drives and family getaways than the Mercedes-Benz GLE thanks to its comfortable seats and superior driving position. The lower seating position in the Mercedes-Benz feels sportier at first, but it's less comfortable in the long run.
• BMW's iDrive infotainment system is more intuitive than the Mercedes-Benz MBUX system, so you're likely to enjoy a less frustrating and less distracting infotainment experience in the BMW X5.
