This is a biased video, the speedometer never turned RED for the GV80. When you switch to sports on a GV80, the display turns RED. The base price of BMW is 79100 cad, also if you need the features like park assist, Napa leather, soft close doors, 2nd row climate control you would end up paying over 100k whereas the prestige edition of GV80 comes with all the features.

The X5 with the B58 has to be BMW’s most underrated power vehicle that it has. It’s 0-60 from C&D is 4.8 secs, 335 hp for a 4800+ pound vehicle, no way. This is faster than the lighter Porsche Cayenne while making the same hp figure. I think it’s making the M340i’s 382 hp and the M340i is making more like 450 hp.

[@aaa22689]

Sam, there is no question about the authenticity of your test, and obviously BMW is quite faster (and probably has a more fascinating driving experience). But there is one caveat here. Hyundai (and Genesis) have proved to build some of the most reliable cars in the market and now they're as good as (and sometimes even better than) Japanese brands. A Hyundai car (even a cheap, non-luxury one) barely shows any issue (mechanical or non-mechanical) below 100K miles. On the other hands, German luxury cars (BMW, AUDI, etc) are known to be money pits and it's unlikely that they don't show any flaw even at 50K miles. And among those, BMW X5 is notorious for being one of the least reliable cars in the market. It's not my opinion, but the existing data says this.

[@qnzman578]

BMW always underrates there hp and torque.

[@petertaylor350]

I’m trying to figure out if he expects a different result comparing BMW to Hyundai ( Genesis ).

[@danielpark7821]

It’s surprising if you take the numbers as bmw. Claims. Obviously they’re lying lol. They underrate their engines and their transmission tuning is next level.

[@anw9485]

Woah. M40i vs GV70 was pretty clear but didn't expect this between the base X5 vs the GV80 3.5t. It's not even the M50i. lol

[@221ddj]

I assume BMW measures horsepower at the wheels whereas others may be measuring from the crank. There is a noticeable drop in power from crank to wheel regardless of drive type.

[@opiante]

BMW publishes horsepower figures to suit their marketing strategy. This means that the 'entry level' model such as the Xdrive40i gets way underrated, Xdrive

[@kaiofsouza]

Já ouviu falar em controle de largada? Deveria utilizar nas arrancadas com o Genesis 👍

[@rkuklinsky5352]

Remember that speed does not equal quality and reliability

[@travelexplore9724]

Garbage = Genesis.,. Everything sucks in that car… Engine, Transmision, multimedia…

[@robertmitchell9276]

The B58 excels in every application.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Great episode! 👍

[@xzoniczf1427]

me thinks the x5 40i rated numbers are at the wheels, where the GV80 rated numbers might be at the crank...

[@howiefeltersnatch7905]

If you guys invested in Vbox or some sort of performance reader it would make things a whole lot more interesting 😉 Also I'm pretty sure BMW measures their HP to the wheels. Their always under rated.

[@jenGD3]

It’s freaking funny to see those comments say Bmw is underrated horsepower and more horsepower than the paper lmao. They just know how to make everything ( powertrain ) works properly on their car !! FYI Porsche 911 could beast its competitors with lower horsepower just like this !!

[@nonameman3741]

What did you expect,BMW X5 is at least 2 second quicker 0 to 60 even though Genesis GV 80 has higher hp and torque ratings.I test drove a GV70 awd with the 3.5 t engine and it didn't seem all that peppy.My car with 260 hp and cvt tranny has a better initial pickup then the GV70.

[@mark_alexander]

I gotta see more palisade/telluride content!! Put it against a GTI… you would be surprised

[@michaeljohnson7044]

If racing is your thing, then BMW is your car. $30K difference in price wheh you do an apples-to-apples comparison in features. No comparison on maintenance costs. We had the X5 - just ridiculous on maint costs. Whatever makes you happy.

[@alexandermaliy3515]

That would be fair and more interesting to compare GV80 to Type -S MDX

[@naturalgainzzz7005]

I'm pretty sure most genesis suv buyers aren't into tuning but that truck would be a damn good suv to tune with that twin turbo v6 ..would peobly pick up a ton of power ...if someone even comes out with a tune for them.. as for .BMW they aren't making slow cars now days this was expected ....since there M340i came out they been just destroying everyone and now there M cars offer awd so we are all screwed lol.this is a good chance for Audi to come out with a few monsters of there own

[@MrMrp69]

I have a X5 40i and I also believe it is more than 335bhp. Don’t forget the 2021 model onwards also has the 48v mild hybrid which adds an 11hp electric motor giving the car a bit extra shove off the line. All in all the B58 coupled with the mild hybrid is a winner for me and just fabulous!

[@andyroberts3619]

Like taking candy from a baby! 😆 X5 vs GLE 450 would be interesting tho!

[@sheraboy7]

Yes you right 👍
