I switched from GLS to X7 and the change has been very positive. X7 is a better family daily hauler by far!!

It was between these two for me...and I ordered a 2024 BMW X5. What sold me was new interior, m sport and pro package, steering wheel with those packages, and the seats are so good. The update interior and technology on the X5 won me over. Plus 3 year service! On a past Mercedes I had to buy a service package for $1500...not doing that this time! I ordered a mineral white with 22 inch black wheels, m packages, coffee interior. Super excited!!!

BMW FTW here. Yes, we all know the B58 is standard(love that BMW didn't try to have the 2.0t as standard), but the BMW just seems to check the boxes better than the MB. It handles better, is quieter, sounds so much better, etc. The only thing that frustrates me with the BMW is the removal of the physical controls for climate. I loathe cars that have everything controlled via touchscreen. But it makes up for it with the open-pore American walnut wood over the black-laqueur in the MB that comes across as yet another vehicle with piano-black plastic(although it is not).

Considering that the GLE450 would be substantially more expensive than the X5 as equipped yet be slower and about equal on efficiency, the Bimmer just seems like the better buy.

**I still believe the X5 should be awarded at least a half-point for the split-tailgate. It is a very unique option in all of the midsize SUV class. I could be wrong, but I believe only the $100K+ Range Rover(aside from the other BMW models) is the only other SUV to have the feature since the new LX600 abandoned it.

I would take the BMW. The car optimally combines sportiness and luxury. Great review by the way!!

The biggest thing separating them now is reliability. BMW has vastly improved in this regard and Merc has gotten even worse.

I test drove both the X5 40i and GLE 450...I ended up with the X5. All around a better vehicle. It has the looks, features, performance and price with 3 yr maint thrown in. A no brainer of a choice. Really love it!

This is not a fair comparison, the GLE450 is the model to compare to the BMW X5 40i. It would have been a more fair match up,

I’m 6’ 8” tall. Don’t fit in an X5, plenty of room in the GLE. I currently have a 2021 GLE, looking forward to getting the 2024.

Outstanding work on the comparo-Gents!
Love both of these SUVs- I placed an order for the X5 50e (M sport)- I love the bigger backseat in the GLE- but the X5 with the 3 yr free maintenance was just a better overall “get” for our family- I really don’t think you can go wrong with either choice - Thanks CC!!

Having driven a GLE53 and X5 M60i quite a bit, the GLE feels so much better to drive. Tighter, more natural steering with more feedback, more playful handling, and way less body roll. The interior is much better too and more passenger space

It’s the Bimmer for me! Especially now that we have more options to configure the gauge cluster & a magnificent interior along with the refined engines sealed it😉

I ordered a X5-50e PHEV, although I would have considered the MB hybrid version of the GLE also, but it isn’t available yet in the US. I prefer buttons as well, but it isn’t a deal breaker. I’d rather not be limited to the touchscreen and voice control, and am happy that BMW still has the iDrive controller on the center console.

I guess I would pick GLE than X5, 2 of my brothers had X5 that became a headache.

Objective comparison with right amount of subjectivity! Thank you for this awesome video.
Please compare Porsche Cayenne to BMW X5.

X5 :- Driving dynamics, better road grip, fun to drive, quality finishes
Gle :- fun To drive, better off roader, comfy, better rear passenger features, better driving stance for driver .

Great comparison between the two. I would now go for the Mercedes Benz GLE because the X5 front looks not so nice. I have to go for the GLE for the design and tech on the inside. Keep up the good work.
