    My mom bought a new E53 X5 when I was in high school and I learned how to drive in that car. It got to 200K miles and my mom traded it in for a smaller X3 because she didn't need such a big car anymore but liked the elevated driving position of an SUV. Now I'm done with grad school and have worked for awhile now, my first new car purchase was this new model X5 and I absolutely love it!

    So I did not have a hypothetical decision, but a practical one to make. I live in New York City and six months ago my 21’ M550i went back after the 3 year lease expired. We needed more room, and decided to cross shop the PHEV variants of both offerings. The GLE is equipped with a 4cyl and the X5 50e is on offer with an inline 6 cylinder (B58). Needless to say, I am the happy owner of a 2024 BMW X5 50e with close to 500hp and 700nm of torque. Sapphire Black with Sensafin Oyster seating. M Sport Professional pkge with 21” wheels. It looks 👍 and has the beans when you pin the peddle. Highly under rated vehicle! Great comparison Tomas!

    And keep in mind that in x5 50e, you can press the ELECTRIC button that would allow you to go full electric to 143km/h and the petrol engine would start only after the battery is depleted or you make a kickdown to the throttle pedal. Few plugin's have this feature!

    I can summarize this for you: Cayenne handles and drives better than X5 (probably around 20% better). Cayenne is around 40%-60% more expensive than X5 if equipped equally. Cayenne service is much more expensive too. If money is not your concern, go with higher trim level of Cayenne and add all options. You should test drive X5 M60i before making decision.

    The thing with Mercedes is that the base price is already expensive but feels cheap so you have to add optional extras, and people forget that Merc is a luxury car company, luxury cars must be fully spec for it to feel luxurious, so all the scratchy, hard and cheap feeling parts you must pay extra for them to feel soft and expensive, most people will buy a merc with no option so they can feel rich. I would take the merc if I had the money to afford all the options.

    You should address the lack of option or adaptive suspension professional for the G05 LCI. Even in Europe not possible unless you order an M60i or X5M. BMW gave you test car (m package diesel) and it had that option which is otherwise not possible to spec. Great reviews man, keep it up!

    Another excellent one! Thanks to you both -Thomas and Lea. I've always heard that if you want a fun, practical and dynamic car drive with excellent performance, it's always BMW. And for sure I experienced that a couple of weeks ago when I had a 9 hour road trip from Glasgow to down south England with a BMW (not X5 lol) but a 5-series sedan. Oh my, I love the driving experience! However choosing between a X5 and GLE, for me would be a GLE - my biased mind (🤐) has an undying love for GLE. Thanks to you in 4K, full screen and full length🤩

    I can’t say that I’ve driven either but from the looks of it, and just how seating comfort is most important to Thomas, the driving position is most important to me and it seems better in the GLE. Even though my wife and I own two BMWs (X1 and 328i), I just don’t like how BMW positions its steering wheels in terms of angle… they are just too slanted forward.

    I’m a Benz guy. Like both of these, but frankly a Volvo XC60 may be a better value than both. And, as a guy who’s 70+ years old, as much as ease of entry may be better in these high riders, I’d rather have a wagon/estate everything else being equal. They handle properly, are going to deliver better economy, and likely will be a bit more comfortable insofar as lower wind noise and less buffeting from crosswinds. To each his own. As always Thomas, great job. You’re a class act. Happy Easter.

    I have a 2021 GLE 350de hybrid with air suspension and AMG line…currently 50mpg (5.6litres per 100km) and about 50 miles electric range. Very hard to fault except the 4 cylinder can be a bit harsh on acceleration. I do think the Mercedes will last longer but time will tell! Both great cars and very difficult to choose between the two…

    The BMW X5 hands down! Top of the class man. Believe you me, the X5 is the one to drive! We test drove that GLE and it is horrible to ride in the back. It bounced around and made my wife and I motion sick. Driving it was ok, but not nearly as fun joyful to drive or ride in the front seats as in the BMW! BMW owns Rolls Royce.

    Had a 2021 BMW X5 45e and they seem to have fixed the underpowered electric drive with the new 50e, but the major flaw with the new X5 is removing the buttons for adjusting the adaptive cruise distance controls from the steering wheel to the menus. Makes no sense, you tend to use them constantly based on traffic situations and now you'd have to go into the menus while driving. That's the wrong direction in ergonomics design and a poor safety choice. Test drove also GLE and Q7 when deciding and GLE had hit and miss quality, like laughable windshield wipers and awful seat materials, Q7 just felt like a boat and unrefined in terms of the hybrid driveline execution. GLE was also reacting to side winds rather strongly, felt awkward and floaty. X5 base seats were too narrow, but the comfort seats and material quality were excellent. And the car was very economical, a 900km drive was typically around 7 liters per 100 km. Not a fan of the run flat tires though, a bit loud and hard, even with acoustic glass option.
