Bro, hatts off to you, you are the first reporer who brought this comparison,which i was waiting for almost year.

Love the review! Also, where are you filming?? The scenery is really cool with those mountains in the backdrop

[@Jane-wm1zy]

How interesting. I learned off road driving in California with the US Off Road team in a Range Rover back in the late 90's as an experience. What a great education it was and what a great experience it was. Land Rovers are impressive off road and for many years I wanted one. At that time they were the safest vehicles to own.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Both Are Good.I Love The Exterior Design Of The RR But I Prefer The Interior Of The X5. I'll Take Either.

[@richardescoffery5266]

[@CarGeek360]

My dad is actually cross-shopping these 2 and the Cayenne so this video was very helpful! We already looked at the iX and might also give the EQS a look as we like the idea of an EV and the EQS seems to be a higher-quality vehicle compared to most of the other new Mercs. How do you personally feel about all these vehicles? I feel like the Range and the Merc are going to be the more luxurious ones while the Beemer and the Porsche are going to be the sportier ones. How would you compare the Cayenne and the Merc to these 2 vehicles?

[@Davek111]

I'm driving my 3rd X5. I have always been impressed with the styling of RR, but when reading all the owner reviews it is easy to discover that RR has serious dependability issues. This has never been an issue with BMW.

Its certainly been the case with BMW as well. Neither are good when it comes to dependability.

[@haroldconner6265]

@muayboran4life sounds like a nice one! You should have no problem getting your money out. For me, the full size just seems too big for our 3 size family . Enjoy!

[@robertwalker8160]

I had an X5 MSport fully loaded and loved it. It was a rock solid SUV with great fuel economy. However, I did sell it as I got tired of trying to get inside and out. It needs to have the option of deployable steps and that would cure that problem which is the only problem with it in my opinion. I just drove a new Range Rover Sport and the drive is very serene and don't know when I have been in more comfortable seats. I found a Range Rover Sport Autobiography P440e that someone ordered almost a year ago and is not taking. I have put a deposit on it and looking forward to getting it. The quality of the materials RR uses is amazing as well.

[@maxim_042]

There is no Autobiography P440e. It’s only on the P510e

[@miriamgalan1810]

I’d much rather have the RR! It’s my dream car! My husband owns a collision business so I should be fine just in case 😂

[@jackdavies1504]

The X5 is the better SUV. For a fully loaded 2024 X540i, which this is nowhere near, the price does not past $85,000. All X5s also come standard with air suspension on the rear axle, and if you get the X5M60i (V8) you get 4-wheel steering. When you have a top-of-the-line X5M60i, it includes 22" wheels, full 2-axle air-ride suspension, gesture control, soft-close doors, assisted-driving/hands-free highway driving, parking assistant with 360 views, heads-up display, 20-way power-adjustable seats, memory settings for the steering wheel, heads-up display (yes this is memory based), exterior mirrors, and driver and passenger seat, Swarovski glass controls, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, heated arm-rests and center console, 4-zone climate control, ventilated and massaging front seats, full extended-merino leather, panoramic sky-lounge illuminated sunroof, illuminated kidney grille, bowers and Wilkins diamond surround sound system, leather dashboard, tow-package, I mean the list goes on. The V8 M60i also starts, yes, STARTS, at $89,300 and TOPS OUT at $109,280. You also get different driver profiles, remote start, remote parking, remote services with the myBMW app, digital key plus, AND 4-YEAR/50,000 MILES NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY AND 3-YEAR/36,000 MILE MAINTENCE INCLUDED. Honestly, I do not think Range-Rover or any other manufacturer compares to the performance and convenience features that BMWs are equipped with.

[@treasurem2491]

Where is the area you were testing this car?

[@rayleung7668]

I think they are both good inside and out. But 3 things the X5 would win are reliability , residual value and safety.

Went from a 2021 X5 to a 2023 RR Sport and I love both cars, but the Sport is a class above. Must say that the BMW feels and it is faster and sharper, but the luxury and comfort of the Rover is way above everything in its class, even getting closer to the premium feel of Bentayga for a lot less money

[@muayboran4life]

I own a 23 RR in Eiger Gray, and have a 23 RRS in Giola Green on order. For someone who has owned several BMWs in the past (but never an X5) and let me tell you that the fullsize RR, and RRS are in a class of their own. I traded my 21 LX570 Sport on my 23 RR and the RR fit and finish is amazing and as good as Lexus. I6 in the RR is also quite potent and I have been averaging 22-23 mpg (actual) in my fullsize RR which is miles ahead of the LX. Although I have had limited time in a RRS but looking at them side by side RR looks more cohesive in design and material choices. Also, not very common unlike the X5.

The X5 is ok ish but when you really want a car to depend on in bad weather then you have to go with the Range Rover Sport. And the design style of the range rover has just put it a leap ahead of the BMW. Oh and LR beat BMW in the recent JDPower appeal too

[@richardh3587]

I have a previous gen RRS and came close to trading it in for a PHEV x5. In the end I just couldn’t pull the trigger - the RRS just felt more special inside, is more comfortable, looks nicer and has better steering and brake feel (surprisingly). As far as the price difference you mentioned, keep in mind that the current RRS comes standard with a bunch of the stuff that is optional on the x5 such as leather, upgraded sound system, adaptive cruise, surround cameras, air suspension, etc . If you add all that to the x5 it adds another 10k or so. Still cheaper than a RRS but the gap is narrower than it first appears My biggest gripe with the new Range rovers are the seat controls. The main controls are on the door panel - which is kind of awkward but then you have to use the screen to adjust the lumbar! Crazy. Otoh, atleast they give you knobs for the climate controls whereas bmw now buries that in the screen

[@AlixLondon]

after having 2 X5s previously i jumped into the redesigned RR but ended up trading my RRS for X5 45e (too many issues) and never looked back (uk spec gets air suspension standard and a 50-mile electric range)

[@steve0ne11]

All the features that you mentioned as optional on the X5 were equipped in the test vehicle in this video (except real leather). In fact, the RRS lacked climate controls for the rear occupants, shocking on a 100K vehicle. Both cars are excellent. I went with X5 because of the type of driver I am (pretty much floor it at every light). I definitely agree that the RRS looks and feels more special. But the X5 feels so much better dynamically. Which is a must for me.

[@steve0ne11]

A better comparison (price-wise) would be the X5 M60i vs the RRS.

Not really a apples to apples comparison. RR is fully primed and tested for off-road inc deep water ploughing. The suspension/engine are engineerged for off-road. The RR engine is also tuned differently. Not to mention in terms if interior space, RR is actually a "large size SUV" and not a mid size suv like X5. All the RR needs is all-terrain tires and ya can literally drive it thru anything. If u test drive any RR , ya won't go back to any BMW or Mercedes...
