@@samuelurb2214 the new X5 and GLE are way superior cars than the RX. They are RWD based, turbo modern engines, way better technology, nicer interiors, imo better looking.

Since I was ready for a new SUV after 15 years with my beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee, I personally test drove all 3 of these cars plus an Acura MDX and a Lincoln MKX. Of the 5, it was a no-brainer choice. The RX easily stood out like cream rising to the top. Lexus gave me $8,000 off MSRP, and I drove home in style & luxury. Although I miss my Grand Cherokee sometimes, I have no regrets about my RX 450h purchase. It's the most comfortable, quiet, and luxurious ride it has ever been my pleasure to experience. I also love it's huge grill and futuristic redesign!

I can not believe he mentioned about Lexus not having the same ‘heritage’ as the other two. 🙄 That’s the type of thing journalists were saying when the original LS400 came out decades ago. What on Earth has heritage got to do with anything?? And as for ‘badge appeal’, Lexus have absolutely proven themselves over the past 30 years to make the most reliable, well-built, and well-equipped cars against its rivals. That right there deserves another eye-roll imoji. 🙄 Also, it’s a 3.5 V6, not a 3.0 litre.

I was genuinely interested in the BMW X5 xDrive40e, but when I drove it (three times), I was only able to get 24 mpg!

I'm waiting to see the new GLE. It will probably beat the RX on many accounts. But, one of my requirements was a hybrid for the quiet driving experience. The GLE 550e Plug-In is a quick beast, but I could not justify the price for similar equipment. And it just felt old with relativity hard leather. Some people like that, but not me. To each their own. Now, if I had all the money in the world and did not care about reliability, I'd jump for a Volvo XC90 T8. I really like that thing!

Hope people in the UK realize this soon as well, the German craze in the UK is just ridiculous in my opinion, i guess when you have several options available to purchase a car like leasing, financing etc you wouldn't care so much about reliability, 2nd hand value and comfort. In my country we don't have such options so reliability is key when buying a luxury car for most except the extremely wealthy.

I just traded my GLE for the X5, the merc was the least reliable car I’ve ever had and the maintenance costs were bonkers. The X5 is like from the future compared to the GLE, due to the extras of course but in general, even with the airmatic suspension, the merc just wasn’t fun to drive or own. My last commute was 1.3 litres per 100km on the X5 so I’m pretty darn happy.

I wish the BMW X5 (w/ options that I want) was just cheaper. I ended up getting the Lexus RX 350 F Sport. I could not be happier but wish it had more power. Also, my mechanic told me to get a BMW if I wanted to see him more often. Lexus' reliability played a big part in our decision.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

The Lexus is actually a 3.5 litre Atkinson cycle V6, not a 3.0 litre as described in the review. The build quality on the Lexus is far in front of Mercedes, betters the BMWs, and the panel fit and finish betters the Jag F-Pace. The only real contender on fit and finish appears to be the Q7 which wasn't tested here. Again, as far as interiors go, the Lexus winds hands down, even the Mk3 RX which in some ways is a more practical proposition than this new 4RX450h, betters the X5 and GLE. The new Volvo XC approaches the interior standard of the Lexus, so shame that wasn't featured. The brand new Volvo V90 estate betters just about anything that isn't a Bentley! The GLE on reliability is a very poor performer judging by reliability surveys, meanwhile the Lexus took top spot in the JD Power survey 2016. I don't know how the presenter managed 44mpg....the true average as reported by owners is closer to 36mpg (which mirrors what I get from mine). A pretty fair and balanced review overall.

Out of the 3 I'd choose the Lexus, it's something different. You see an X5 or GLE at every corner. But the models I prefer from this Category are the RR Sport and Volvo XC90. However for the GLE I'd recommend to get the Comfort seats, because the Sportsseats you get with the AMG Sportpackage are rather uncomfortable!

[@ThePacalino]

I am not sure why Mat states that the X5 is reaching the end of its life cycle. If I understand correctly the current X5 F15 was launched by the end of 2013, so it has less than three years. BMW models, in average, have a life cycle of seven years with a mild mid-cycle-refresh by the end of the fourth year. It is true that the current X5 uses the same platform as the previous X5 E70, but I think it was still considered as a brand new model when it was launched.

[@raheemdot]

ThePacalino The X5 is surprisingly ending it's generation sooner this time. BMW wants to move it's cars to its next generation platform - CLAR. I'm sure they also want to update the design to be in line with the upcoming X7. In fact mules of the new X5 are already being tested and you can see pictures online. Allegedly coming in 2018, believe it's code name is G05.

Good review - just shows that there is something good and bad about all and so much is a matter of personal taste. I compared all 3 of these when I leased new in 2010, 2013 and this year (just last month). In comparing everything between the 3, the RX 350 comes out on top for me. Especially true this time around since I decided to get most of the features - with the Lexus Safety system, I've already taken a few long trips and have spent little time with foot on accelerator/brake. Even as much as I like it, never thrilled with the graphic display (BMW is tops there). Also, I've noticed more of the body is plastic than previously. Still though, roomy comfortable, and nicely quiet from the outside. Because of this, I could be going 80 and almost feel like I'm moving slowly with the lack of outside sound. That's OK, the Big, 15 speaker Mark Levinson gives plenty of sound inside.

Q7 for me in this segment, although Q7 sits between GLE and GLS, it's priced similarly ($65K) to GLE V6 (71K) and X5 ($66) in Canada. Having said that, I'd end up going for Q7 if I'm leasing, and RX if I'm buying.

on Averaging the 3 Vehicles the hybrids versions are around £10.000 more , whats the point ???

[@manilamartin1001]

I love Lexus, I'm sad that it's sales are falling drastically.

[@ethancrumrine310]

martinS S they are having a fall in sales because underneath it’s a Toyota

Love this channel. Reviews of cars are ordered towards what buyers will actually use them for. Presenter is wonderful and witty.

The GLE is amazing, we have one and it is amazing

[@ArkitektoHardinero]

One of the few fair reviews for the RX. Definitely it's the complete package &obviously the head turner. Great review congrats!

[@demolisherOfMoney]

I don't get how people say it's dated, have you seen the ugly interior of the Lexus or the shitty quality in the merc the BMW retains style and looks the most clean while having the best nav system with crystal clear resolution

[@david-pc7cj]

Petrus I cannot agree more than you!!! The BMW is the best!!!!!

[@BestCarSound]

Wow, Lexus sounded almost too good with all mentioned and more bang for you buck! Best ground clearance by looks too. Hope it's not sponsored and wish I could get one. Some day. Or just for a little spin. Atleast in the back seat. Black in F-trim is lovely!

[@konliner9286]

And remember the most important point : the Lexus is a lot more reliable.

[@kristians2704]

that isn’t the most important thing. If we compare the new versions of these cars then the Lexus is in last place

[@lanceryderwilson8618]

@@kristians2704 how can you just predict that new germans are more reliable?

[@kristians2704]

@@lanceryderwilson8618 I’m talking about performance, tech, interior quality, style, handling etc. Reliability is unknown but most people lease new luxury cars so it’s not that important

We (my family and I) have a 2016 GL350 Bluetec. It’s excellent both on road and off. If you’re ever going to take your luxury SUV off the road, buy a Mercedes. We love it! However, our lease is up soon and we are looking to replace it. The sad thing is, we don't get the 300/350d in the USA! Damn VW. What are some good GLS replacements and or alternatives? Can you please do a Q7, GLS, Range Rover, XC90 and the competition? Thanks! I love this channel, by the way.

[@what2467]

Please do another comparison with the updated models :)

[@nastyscorp]

Why isn't Audi Q7 featured ?

[@marioboskic5936]

Q7 is in class with GLS.

[@James-qz1wd]

+Newgenerationisbg The Q5 is most definitely not in this class.

[@marioboskic5936]

+Newgenerationisbg Sometimes it is better to remain silent, because when you try to be smart, you can show yourself as a stupid person. Q5 is smaller, cheaper and it is in class with X3 , GLC .. Audi at the moment does not have real competitor for X5 and GLE.

[@newgenerationisbg]

Top Vehicles Wow, a simple "you're wrong" would have sufficed. I realize my mistake. Typing comments 20 minutes after you wake up isn't the best idea. But really, you have to call someone stupid to make your point?

Yes! Lexus wins for me, it’s cost effective and repairs are reasonable. I had two BMWs (2008 5series and 2018 X3) and over time my pocket has screamed OUCH!

How can the BMW be "reaching the end of its lifecycle" when this 3rd generation model was launched less than 3 years ago?

[@alirezazadeh]

Because of the interior! Outside it looks the best out of all of them

[@BoschExxcel]

He probably means it needs a face-lift as it's nearly 3 years old. The interior especially looks so drab.

[@raheemdot]

Daniel Flower The X5 is surprisingly ending it's generation sooner this time. BMW wants to move it's cars to its next generation platform - CLAR. I'm sure they also want to update the design to be in line with the upcoming X7. In fact mules of the new X5 are already being tested and you can see pictures online. Allegedly coming in 2018, believe it's code name is G05.

[@alexmontgomery2945]

It does need a big face-lift... like the last gen Mercedes c-class to the new Mercedes c-class. Or the last gen Mercedes E-class to the new Mercedes E-class. And with the S-class, and so on because ze Benz is 1,000,000 times better than the BMW and 100,000 times better than the Lexus

[@mikewangg]

Love the RX, but I wish it was a bit bigger. idk how lexus is going to fit 3 rows of seats in the refresh model

[@yung6868]

Lexus = reliability, Merc = more appealing , Bmw = Better interior. =)

[@linchen8353]

you clearly didn't watch the video. BMW has the most dated and cheapest interior.

[@abdullahwraikat4058]

CY BMW not really for the interior, it's for their technology ONLY

[@alexmontgomery2945]

Lexus = worst looking SUV in the world, Mercedes = Best interior, BMW = better infotainment system 👌🏻

For the look, lexus is the worst.

[@pilockaiza4634]

L Chen BMW for the interior because you don't find hard plastic in it like Mercedes

[@rakeshshriwas7054]

Tino matic was absolutely right.And I love the mercedes brand more than any other.

[@Ninetofivelaughs]

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

As an American, I find it quite interesting that you can't buy a petrol powered non-hybrid 6 cylinder version of these in the U.K. It's either a 4 cylinder turbo, 4 cylinder hybrid, or a diesel. I understand that gas prices in the U.K. are more than the U.S, but it's still unfortunate. Are there any midsize or fullsize suv's in the U.K. that offer a petrol non-hybrid V6 as an option these days?

[@emmettcotter1206]

X5s have terrible reliability. How much does the the ride quality of the RX450h suffer in f sport trim? The f sport is drop dead gorgeous. Everything in the Lexus has a superior quality feel too

[@Buslingthorpe]

What I really like about this test is, that it doesn't needlessly focus on handling or acceleration, which - let's be honest - most buyers don't care about in a large SUV anyways. In any German comparison, they would've found some reason to put the Lexus last, because they (purposefully or not) misunderstand the point of the car. But it doesn't really matter anyways, because now, as a used car, the Lexus bests the other two easily with outstanding reliability.
