2025 BMW X5 vs other 5d Suvs to consider
The BMW X5 is the classic large luxury SUV benchmark. It goes head-to-head with the Audi Q7, which packs a bit more space inside and a more confident seven-seat option, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE with its high-tech cabin.
The Genesis GV80 and Volkswagen Touareg offer more equipment for less money, but don't have the allure of a BMW badge.
