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!

You cannot get a more professional review than this.

[clubbizarre]

hope you reach 1 million subs soon. you deserve it. this channel rocks. it's my go to for IN DEPTH reviews and information

[blazinmark]

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!

Honestly I'd take the gle because it's great looks, gorgeous interior, back looks awesome. Idk about the price but if I'm getting the gle with that kind of money and I can cope with the reliability issues np. So yeah I'll take the gle no doubt.

[kmg]

I own both, actually, and I also prefer the X5. I’m a taller man and just prefer the extra room in the front drivers seat over the rear legroom. Both are fantastic but the X5 is more fun to drive for me.

[marydabiri]

having 2021 BMW X5 and drive it so far 60, 000 miles, no problem till now, perfect seat, had oil service only and nothing else
perfect SUV and has no competitor,

[mustafaassad]

I have the X5 50e, and I love it. No regrets

[sandrahildebrand]

Überzeugendes Review, mittlerweile lässiges, gutes Englisch, Kommentare zu den Sitzen treffen genau den Punkt. Schöne Osterfeiertage

[TD]

Been having a rough day, Thomas. Your vids are always a great way to cheer up. Keep up the good work.

[thedude]

I appreciate how detailed the reviews are and how you give your opinions on each part of the comparisons. One request. More of Lea in the shots. She is wonderful 😊

[costasparaskevopoulos]

I’ll go for the X5 I agree on reliability and sitting comfort!!

[fefe]

Thomas You Rock!! The Best Honest Reviews. Thank You.

[omarion]

I’m a Mercedes Benz fan through and through.. but Mercedes still hasn’t figured how to do top notch SUV. X3>GLC, X5>GLE, X7> GLS

[ItsXpensive]

Great and deep analysis. Love the attention to detail on how the door close sounds, the buttons etc. I also have that habit.
