Happy Monday guys! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. While Lexus may always seem outclassed next to a BMW, the latest RX 500h F-Sport Performance has the BMW X5 centered in its crosshairs and while the two may not seem like natural rivals, the specs show both to be quite similar on paper. Which one would you choose for yourself? Let us know below!

Nope. The RX is still outclassed. Not just by the x5 but just about any other competitor in the segment you can think of. Lexus can redesign their entire portfolio of cars 500 times and it’ll still fail miserably to compete with the current generation competition If they want to compete they have to make an exclusive RWD platform but we know that’ll never happen as Lexus is trying to go out of business

This video feels like it was taylor-made for me. Great job!

I think the time where Lexus was ultra luxurious has long passed. It looks like they have more legroom and less cargo room (which is usually my preference) than the BMW. The Lexus presents as a much better value and has that Toyota reliability and longevity backing. The BMW looks more premium inside but at that price point I feel like it should absolutely come with cooled rear seats. I think non black/gray interiors inherently make a vehicle look more premium. Does anyone know why BMW hates reclining 2nd row seats? I think they’re both overpriced. There are some non “luxury” vehicles out there that give you the bulk of what you get in these vehicles for a good bit less 💰. Very strong video SB. Thanks for letting us ride along with you.

The BMW inline 6 has been this reliable since the N55. It is impressive and the B58 (highly underrated engine in the sense of power generation) get great MPG.

Nice review, enojyed it very much! Lexus is a nice car, but in this comparison it doesn't look that great. X5 looks better/more modern inside and out, the engine and the transmission are top notch. Basically, it's a "nice car vs the best SUV in the segment" video. BMW wins it handily, they are on a mission lately.

The RX 500h has the Hybrid Max engine, which is very powerful and sips fuel. The design of the X5 in that color is really nice, but it’s a shame BMW can’t redo their interior control layout and bring back dials and knobs.

I shopped around quite a bit (Audi, Volvo & others) but these two were available from dealerships under the same parent company. The Lexus had a $1500 price bump, the BMW was straight MSRP.

I leave everyone in the dust when I hit the gas and let those electric motors give me instant torque and I’ve never spent more than $50 (91 grade) on a full tank for this 500H. The only annoying part of this car is the Lexus Safety 3.0 LED that monitors your head position and nags you to look straight ahead while driving. Also not having dedicated physical dials to select drive modes and deciding to add that onto the touchscreen is stupid but you can get around that by programming the buttons on the right side of steering wheel. Quirks on the software are annoying such as not being able to properly load the correct profile of who’s actually driving the vehicle. Little annoyances which I hope will be resolved by software updates. I’ve had hybrid failure messages show twice while owning the vehicle for almost one year. Only time will tell if other issues start showing themselves but knowing Lexus, they will stand behind their product and getting things fixed/resolved after the factory warranty is up isn’t going to cost an arm and leg like how the BMW will cost but then again most of these are leased and then returned after the 3 years are up.

I'm bmw all day I don't keep cars long so who cares if it doesn't last over 5 years 😂

Sofyan, you haven't mentioned the seat comfort extensively. From my last test drive experience, the Lexus RX F-Sport model seats were very narrow and had more aggressive bolstering -- uncomfortable, while BMW's seats were OK in non-M Sport rendition (although both have synthetic leather at that price(!)). Another huge usability issue is the middle console in X5 that sticks out too far back, thus making the rear middle seat quite uncomfortable, eating up the legroom, despite having a low tunnel hump... Another thing I remember after test driving both the vehicles is that Lexus was more agile and easy to maneuver, whereas BMW was more difficult to drive in narrow spaces or over frequent curves due to all that torque pushing on the rear wheels... Overall, I think - yes - these vehicles are comparable; Lexus has more comfort and utility, while BMW has better handling and more power -- drives sportier... Reliability-wise I think now both Lexus and BMW are almost on the same level after adding these many electronic components and adding turbo engines... I would not really call out Lexus on reliability any longer.... Overall Lexus maintenance is cheaper, I agree -- maybe not the reliability, but the cost of ownership... One thing that gets me with BMW's in general is how the interior is apportioned vs exterior size; given the size of X5 one would have expected more passenger room, but even something like Honda CR-V has comparable amount of passenger space and cargo... Another pet peeve of mine with specifically X5's is the dual split tail-gate -- why? I find it annoying that one must open two parts, and the cargo organizer in BMW not the best one either... In general, I found it was much easier to drive the Lexus than the BMW due to its shorter hood, shorter wheel base, and more intuitive controls, although the transmission felt jerky in Lexus and super smooth in BMW, especially going uphill...

BMW X5 please!

@@kromahj Yes, this engine is good 👍

I love Lexus but I will never choose that Lexus over x5 any x5 thank you

Would not touch a '24 RX350, the 2.4T is a very laggy motor from a start. Have to run it in sport mode all the time. On the freeway it's just ok. Definitely hybrid only models if you're going with RX as the electric motor makes up for the 2.4T's off the line turbo lag.

Thanks for review bong srey. Happy pride!🌈🏳️‍🌈

I love a 6 cylinder or and 8 cylinder engine

Is it just me or does the backseat of the RX look like it has SIGNIFICANTLY more leg room vs. the BMW? I compared at 18:29 for the RX and 25:10 for the BMW. I have a tall family and we found the X5 much too small. Ironically the x3 had more legroom.

Im gonna buy my next vehicle and im leaning towards the Lexus. Thanks again Soyfan @redlinereviews

Lexus definitely takes the interior when it comes to the screens integration. . The BMW screens looks like an afterthought and literally looks what Mercedes was doing 10 years ago.

Lexus Lexus

BMW anytime any day

I own a 2023 IS350 F Sport RWD, but I'd pick X5 here. The color combination is absolutely stunning 🔥 I've never driven the X5, but I have driven the X3 and RX350. I liked the drive on both, but seats are better on RX imo. Also, X5 doesn't have ventilated seats in the back, but the X3 did, which is strange

BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE??

x5 M 😂😂

This X5 also has launch control

Maybe the best SUVs on the market.I believe that the BMW win in details witch are mostly small but seems to be everywhere where Lexus wins in it's historical trust as top premium reliable car.But as many US comments say and I agree that BMW is to lease and RX is to own.

I'd skip both of these and get the best handling SUV available - a Porsche Macan GTS. It's a beast!

I sold my RX and jumped in a X5 and im not turning back my x5 is a 2022 not the 2024 with these ugly big screens

Apples and oranges. Lexus is for people who derive pleasure from their cars lasting 150k miles without major works. While that's a great trait for a vehicle, the owners are missing out on the simple pleasures of driving by owning these appliances.

Nothing to compare. I owned both, currently driving the X5. Lexus not even close

You sit up taller too in the x5

Didn’t brake torque the lexus for comparison

This is where Lexus fanboys say “yeah but it’s reliable

Yup. Lexus fanboys will use the excuse “it has the best quality in the world 😱 and it’s instantly bulletproof and reliable to the point where I can burn it with fire and it’ll still run as if nothing happened 😱😲”😆

They’re the reason Lexus has fallen off so badly and barely even care to give a real effort in either segment. Their fanboys.

Yea, the “reliability”. I had to change the whole RX tranny… paid $10k. And had to come in and readjust 3 times before it worked correctly.

That’s sad at this point. The Lexus price is way too much just for it to be just reliable…

I'll take the RX thank you very much 👍

I choose the Lexus always above the BMW. Don't like the look of the Beamer and the people who drive in it ( in general)..........

Lexus is reliable sure, but they’re just not on the same level as the Germans
