Although the Lexus GX has aged significantly, it's one of few luxury SUVs that can match the ride quality and feel of a BMW X5.
The Range Rover Sport may be the standard bearer for the luxury SUV class, but many won't ever need its go-anywhere capability or massive power.
Cadillac's Escalade is a more refined machine than in years past, but doesn't feel screwed together as well as the X5.
Mercedes-Benz's GLE-Class is a more traditional look at luxury SUVs, but we prefer the X5's superior engines.
Porsche's Cayenne can run with the X5—unfortunately, so can it's price.
