2017 BMW X5 vs. Its Competition

2017 BMW X5
Aaron Cole Aaron Cole Managing Editor

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.
