2022 Range Rover Velar P400 vs BMW X5 40i, someone is lying. Drag and Roll Race.

[@DavidV4444]

As a person who has owned BMW, Porsche and Mercedes’ and currently own a C43 AMG and and M340i, BMW is unmatched in engine and transmission where the gas pedal creates a seamless surge of smooth power, it’s quite unbelievable and it’s all of BMW’s vehicles.

[@coolsquad7428]

I wouldn’t say that but I can say the b58 is a insane engine as it makes more hp then what bmw says as the 5 series they said 5 seconds well if you get it rwd or awd its 4.6 seconds as the zf 8 speeds on theses are simular as the difference will be is what generation is it like is it the 1st gen 2nd gen or 3rd gen but overall it just shows how overly done bmw did to themselves with the b58 and s58 inline 6 engines.

[@warwombat_]

I thought it was a pretty well known thing, BMW seems to under rate their vehicles power. I’ve read and article where they think it’s the wheel hp they give often time, so way more to the crank. That ZF transmission they use nowadays also helps a bunch also

[@kevingoins4542]

We just picked up our new X5 40i and it is surprisingly fast..I would have bet on the Velar. Most other brands Audi, Range Rover etc have not figured out how to combat turbo lag. BMW has that part mastered and is gone before the others build boost. The Velar is a beautiful Suv. Great video!

[@Blue-moon12]

Taurus SHOs have little to no turbo lag also.

[@coolsquad7428]

Landrover have combated this with the transmission in sport or auto mode but in the power band from 3,800 to 4,100 rpm there is some lag but only on the discovery at least I think but the older supercharged v6 had no lag what so ever.

[@acsimpson2633]

‘The Velar is a beautiful Suv’. Oh really? Is that a joke, or are you hallucinating? JLR still utilise that mammoth hydraulic press which squashes the roof line towards the rear. Why? The visibility from the rear seats must be ghastly. The steering wheel looks like a senior citizen’s shower seat. The front elevation appears to be that of a mechanical ‘face’ with symmetrical gum boils. Just because the more senile Jeremy Clarkson gets a retainer for stating it’s a great car…drone, drone. Oh get real Clarkie, you’re beyond your best before date. Feed the sheep. Look at the Bavarian examples of SUVs, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But not necessarily in that order.

[@anthony8090]

Also recently got an X5, and I'm an Audi guy, but it's just an impressive vehicle. Surprisingly fast and such a great ride. It was fast enough that although the m50i was tempting it saved me ~$20k and I still got the MSport look.

I hv a 2019 bmw x5 40i. For me eco mode is more than enough. This car has been good with minor issues specially the lower tailgate drive failure. The left chrome exhaust color starts wearing off. Car is slightly on stiffer side. Good on gas mileage though, hv been getting more than 450 in total in city n 530+ in highway. The rear starts wearing off faster than front. No issues with wireless carplay. Hate gesture control had to keep it off all the time 😂. Seats r comfortable. I have full marino tartufo. Massager is useless if ur not wearing a thin shirt to feel something moving in chair. Ventilated seats r somewhat effective. Stearing is pretty accurate and gets stiffer in sport setting. I hv only driven this car once in sport mode n is scary for me plus, the right exhaust opens automatically in sport mode at 4000 rpm. Parts r waaaaaay to expensive if u r car is out of waaranty and extension is only given for 3 more years after 4 years of warranty which is around $5600 in total n does not covers brakes or wipers or wheel barring. Rest i can assure u this car is pretty good and i hv driven almost 42000 miles and still going strong. No major faults or anything. Best tires r pirelli pzero for this car if u like quiet n comfort but will last around 20k to 25k but that also depends upon ur driving style. My first wheel alignment happened around 24k miles. My dealer was shocked to see that and said to me that if i m only driving on dyno 😂

Yes, I’m sure the BMW has a little bit quicker throttle and engine response but the BMW also got the jump in every race which I think was the biggest differentiator because things evened out after a bit in most races, but whoever gets the jump has a clear advantage that is hard to overcome. Looking at multiple sources online the BMW 0 to 60 time ranges from 4.7-5.3 with an average of 5.0 whereas the RR seems to be in the 5.2 to 5.3 range so the BMW is a bit quicker, but not as much as shown in this video.
