BMW for business to lease, Lexus for family to own

[mantasvaiciulis]

I own Lexus rx. And most importand thing is that this car dont break. Reliability is incredible.
Maybe Audi, Bmw or Mercedes has better design or interior but who cares as they are not reliable. And you need fix them all the time.
My next car will be only new model Lexus.

I don't buy an SUV for fun driving, SUVs are utility vehicles, so Lexus is the clear winner here. If I want fun driving I can lease an actual sports car.

It's like comparing a symphony orchestra to a jazz band – they both bring their unique flair to the stage, and it's all about personal taste. BMW may have that roaring engine note, but Lexus? Well, it's more like a smooth saxophone solo. Different strokes for different folks, and the automotive world is just one big musical jam! 🎶🚗😄

Having owned both I can sum this up. As mentioned, Lexus will give you better reliability long term if you buy the car and keep it for a while. However if you lease it wont matter either way. The X5 is simply more fun to drive, more engagement with the road. The X5 all wheel drive system is also much better than the RX hands down if that matters. X5 however once out of warrantee is very expensive for oil changes, routine maintenance. Lexus is pretty on par with other manufacturers. X5 electronics are finicky after a while as well. Lexus can be serviced at pretty much any mechanic if you choose not to goto Lexus dealer for service. BMW your kind of stuck going to BMW dealer unless you can find a good mechanic that works on BMW's. My only concern right now with Lexus is that the 6 cyl turbo engine is new that they've put in. Jury still not out yet on how good/bad it is. The RX has many new safety features which are good on one hand but annoying/too much on the other. Enough beeping guys. Enough. I think it all comes down to what you want. If money is no object than hands down the X5 is a great car. If you want something of quality that is going to last for many many years, you pay the car off and keep it for a while and will get decent money back on a trade in then Lexus is better. I dont believe the X5 holds its resale value as well as Lexus either but again some people care, some dont.

I own Lexus RX 330 2005 until 2023 with 220K miles on it without tune-up nor repair anything except changing tire, brake and engine oil. Do you think X5 can do the same thing?

[niepokornytyp]

Lexus no problem, BMW - headache, non stop service, never again.

[celeschil]

The passenger side's dashboard of the new Lexus looks very unique. I think it's a very unique dashboard design, making it looks more spacious, reminding me of a Japanese garden view at night.

[ReallyIntoxicated]

It's basically Japanese Luxury vs German Luxury and guess what, either one you choose, you win.

[boostgaming]

If your thinking on purchasing a Lexus, and you care about audio, the Mark Levinson sound system is the best upgrade you will ever get! Just so good!!

[l-Arm.of.God-l]

RX 500h for me, Ever since I learned BMW has engineers on staff specifically who's job is to engineer failure on purpose and the plastics used in the engine. Its a no go for me.
Spending the money if you are going to keep it you want something that will last.

[markusdeep]

Reliability is more important to me than engine refinement. So Lexus RX is my WINNER here.

[mcximus]

Lexus all day. Point A to point B ride is all I need with a bit of luxurious amenities. Enough power day to day. I just like the reliability of the brand. I still can't afford one though. Maybe if I win the lottery.

[shilpapatel]

Lexus rx is most reliable vehicle I own.

[marantamil]

In the UK, The price difference between a top spec BMW X5 50e and Lexus RX450H+ is more than 10k. Makes the Lexus much better.

[OMAR-rvhi]

If you always want trouble go for BMW, if you want peace buy LEXUS.

[dothedishes]

Wait, the X5 comes standard with 20k in the center console?

[filmbyn]

We bought 2023 Lexus RX350h
Ultra luxury 74K And around same time our friend bought a 2023 BMW x5 premium package 100K
Yes bmw has some more luxury like when you activate the front seats heating or cooling the arm rests get warm or cold too, but when you want to load stuff in the back of your x5 the lower part is kinda in the way unlike Lexus, in the Lexus the back seats are positioned Lower and in the x5 the beach seats are positioned higher and you can clearly see the difference between them but one thing that I liked about the Lexus is the door handle designs and the door opening assist that bmw didn’t had. About speed and acceleration no one gets an suv for performance they are not meant for that so we really didn’t cared about the performance, Ofcurse the car has to be able to carry its own weight but nothing more For us we got more bank for our buck so we bought a Lexus RX but I could totally see why people like to buy X5 after all it depends on your taste

[prose]

I went with the BMW X5 XDrive 40i, loving it so far

[laurentiuxxl]

why didn't you mention reliability and me the differences....
