Can you do toyota harrier/venza vs lexus rx
Should have taken the 500h instead of the 450h, has a lot more hp and would be a little more fair competition...
@@krisc6644no it wouldn’t. It really wouldn’t 😂😆
@@naveenthemachine having a field day today huh Naveenthegreenmachine
@@krisc6644we’ve reviewed it. This is plug in vs plug in
I had a rental 2024 X5 and then came home and ordered the X5 50e. Best vehicle I have ever owned. My interior is a matte finished wood with a coffee interior it changes the whole vibe.
I hope u leased it , just cause u had a fun rental experience doesn’t mean to dig your own grave in a bmw 😂
It's not my first German luxury car and not my only vehicle. And yes, I did lease it.@@cormaro13
@@cormaro13it’s the x5 e which is a plug in hybrid soo it has totally engine then regular bmw
@@jalenreid881 u act like that’s going to make the maintenance cost change , when they’re still putting a bunch plastic parts too 😂
Had multiple BMW's, thats rubbish, its what broke mechanics complain about because they're want everyone to buy shit boxes from american and asian companies.@@cormaro13
"Longer always wins" defo went over Yuri's head 😂
Wooosh
I test drove the 50e and was very impressed by the interior quality, smoothness, and linear torque present throughout the entire powerband. Best SUV on the market for sub 100K
Je me souviens is basically "I/we remember" in reference to the sacrifice of our soldiers in the various wars
And treatment by the anglos...
It refers to the rebellion of 1837. When people ask me I tell them that hardly anybody remembers what they're supposed to remember. My take on it is I remember where I parked the car. Bonjour de Montréal
@@Jay-mm1kw
What a good opinion that the straightpipes have about Québec 🤨
Love this review and your chemistry is AWESOME...
I feel the test was done wrong , the comparison should be Lexus RX500h vs BMW X5 50e
exactly this comp is kinda trash
The RX 500h is not a plug in hybrid
The X5, X7 and 5-Series, 7-Series are the only German vehicles I think that have interiors that actually match their asking price, unlike most of Audi's and Mercedes.
Anything with a b58 wins for me lol
You also win the oil leaking and oil burning contest that comes along with the B58. Watch out for the money pit 😅. I'd pick the Lexus RX500h over any crappy bmw suv
@@akuragang1990 b58 tus do not have those issues try again not to mention that lexus will definitely be costlier in the end because without its hybrid system it will be dead the bmw still has a pretty powerful engine without the hybrid system
If you plan to own it for 5 years, sure. If over 10 years lexus is to go with.
@@akuragang1990 B58 must be bad enough that Toyota went with it on the Supra. The B58 and ZF8 are the most reliable parts of a modern BMW. It's the rest of the car you have to worry about.
@@ratshackmojo Yea Toyota made such a smart move on that one that now their Supras with only 1500 miles on the engine brand new is burning oil left and right. That's so smart of them.
Been cross shopping these two , this is the perfect vid for me 🎉
What did you pick?
I’ve also narrowed my choices to these two. Which one did you pick?
X5
Same here. X5 just seems better even on their base.
I rented a new 2024 X5 for my vacation a few days ago. I also own a new 2024 Lexus. The X5 was better. Not by alot, but it was definitely better. It was SO fast, quiet, the sound system was phenomenally good and the mild hybrid worked well. Also the best feature I liked about it was it would lock and unlock if you walked away from it or towards it.
All that being said, I can confirm the Lexus quality and reliability is a real thing. The engine is buttery smooth and will probably last forever.
So the question is do you want a flashy, fun, fast car with questionable reliability or do you want a buttery smooth engine with ok everything but with INFINITE reliability.
This may be cliche but, the BMW is great for a lease or rental, Lexus for purchasing and owning.
Infinite reliability? Says a typical Toyota sheep
The real question is do you want a luxury car or a fancy economy car on stilts?
I currently own a new Lexus and have owned/rented new BMW before, Lexus is definitely a luxury car. Anyone who says otherwise I can confidently say they never probably owned one and are speaking from inexperience.
Lexus is just as quiet as the BMW, the materials fit and finish is just as good if not better than BMW - - especially the paint quality, the paint on the Lexus is phenomenal and thicker than normal paint. Panel gaps, material quality, they are definitely luxury.
The engine and the transmission on a Lexus while not as fast as the BMW, transcends what it means to be luxury in terms of reliability and quality of build. The Japanese just make an extremely reliable and buttery smooth product that they refine over years and years of fine tuning. That's why their product cycle is so long (same car, same power train with gradual upgrades over years).
Being the owner and driver of many luxury brands, I speak from experience. It may be a tough pill to swallow for those who have based, inexperienced opinions about one brand or the other, but Lexus is definitely a luxury brand and a good one too. I would prefer owning the X5 though as a lease, great fun car. It just won't be long lasting as the Lexus. That's a fact.
@@user-mg4bw5ly8r engine and transmission transcends what it means to be luxury 🤣😆😂. LOL
That kind of comment proves how low of a standard you possess for luxury cars
How's the comfort, ride quality, and sound comparing the two? Would you say the RX is more comfortable than the X5?
@@albertn.1742 no x5 is far more comfortable
Great review
Great great comparison video 👏🏾
Thank you guys for talk about the outlet situation
The seats in the X5 are terrific! My wife has the same colors in hers too and miraculously even with two little kids it still looks factory fresh (apparently BMW does a ceramic coating on its interior as part of the protection package)
How does the eye tracking work with sun glasses? Have you guys experienced it?
I’m glad I didn’t get the hybrid. I got the regular four banger turbo and there’s absolutely nothing slow about it. Paid 51k out the door here in North Florida.
I do hope that you guys review the 24' Lincoln Nautilus as well
I’m a Mercedes fan and long time customer and if I had to pick, it’s the BMW for me!
Good review guys! Unplugging the charge cable on the car side requires grounding connection so that is why it didn’t work. It would work fine even if there was a power outage as long as the cable is plugged into the wall to complete ground. Hope that helps.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I'll tell you one thing, you want reliability and a car you'll never let down, buy a Lexus.
The "Je me souviens" quote is on the license plates because it's part of the Quebec coat of arms motto (1883)
Lexus: 175 torque?! Wow.
probably don't combine torque ratings of ice and EV
Yes, the 175 is for the gas engine only.
My mazda 3 has more
@@chibbyylol maybe true, but 175 from the engine alone doesn’t seem right.
@@natecurrier the line 4 in the hybrids / plug in hybrids are naturally aspirated and not turbocharged
the turbocharged inline 4 gets about 317lb-ft of torque whereas the regular inline 4 is in the 175 - 200lb-ft range
Nice vid. Keep it up. I’d also pick the X5. Y’all should include insurance prices/considerations into these reviews. Thieves are a fan of that RX in Ontario and insurance prices reflex that.
Does the bmw door also fly open when your knee hits the cap touch push button like the Lexus?
The front overhang on the Lexus is like a hyper-underbite. It's really hard to un-see after viewing the side profile compared to the BMW with its RWD stance. It will definitely eat the entire sidewalk when you pull up to the curb.
I own an X5 50i with 97000 miles on it and it's reliable. No issues 👍🏾
Check it at 150-200K miles :) As one YTuber says- BMW is a great car to drive, but terrible to own :) Lexus is good to drive and great to own. Choice is yours :)
@@SOMEONE-ME Nobody spending that much for a vehicle is concerned about it surpassing 200k miles
@@jacobstrouble6631 And you know it’s really nobody? 200k? If you are unlucky it may hit you even before 100k.
It’s everyone’s choice. If I want sport car I buy one and don’t pretend SUV is a sports car, specially one shaped like X5.
I don’t see a use of that power etc. in everyday driving. Once there is enough power it’s all I need for such a type of car. 10x prefer remaining money go to comfort and luxury ( eg. that air suspension).
@@SOMEONE-ME Then why compare a Lexus with an X5? Nobody said anything about a sports car. You did. You want cheap maintenance but then talk about lasting 200k miles why? Because that's the only positive you can find to talk about.with a Lexus.
@@jacobstrouble6631 Lexus is about reliability and refinement. It’s carefully designed car. It may not be super luxury, but everyday luxury which is also reflected in the price.
Why you need such a power in X5? No idea why luxury should mean 500HP and then trying to make inside quiet? Pointless. Better to make more reliable engine and move spare money to polish other features ( comfort etc). Then it would be even better version of Lexus.
I don’t think Germans know how to build luxury car. They somehow can’t get bigger picture which is also true for Mercedes or even Maybach. They seems to have all components, but can’t put it together.
No way to pay 87k for 4 cylinder....I rest my case.
C63 is gonna be 150 cad with a 4-cylinder 😂
@@ayushmalpeddi2793thought it was 2.0L and motor at the axle 🤣
You are not gonna like my 2019 xc60 T6. Loll.
Im in no way putting my 87k on a maintenance nightmare money sipping car either.
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 even the SL43 AMG is a 2 litre and it's even more expensive
How does the 4 banger in the RX sound/feel, maybe a little whiny or rattlie, they should have kept the V6.
Picking the lexus is just CRAZY 😅
Talking about saving money between the two but spending 80k on a 4 cylinder.
Kind of dumb spending that much on a 4 cylinder Toyota with lipstick.
I just saw an ad about the Lexus Rx F and it sounded amazing tbh, could be the next review.
The Plexus daytime led looks like the 2017 for Fusions led
The backing up with your hands up 😂 OFFICER I can’t… the car is backing up on its own
I bought a RX500h over the X5 (I drove and compared both) because I wanted something a bit smaller.. I also looked at a mercedes GLE, MDX, and Q60.. I liked the X5, but it was 115k cdn RX was less $$.. Its smaller in the back etc, but it drives nice and is very smooth and quiet.. the BMW did sit better in some ways... I liked the style of both.... Im happy with my purchase the RX is great so far.. I would not be a buyer of the RX 450e
Drove X5 40i Xdrive and RX 450 F sport. Even tho I was biased for Lexus as I currently drive ES 300h, BMW just felt better in everything, except exterior, the price was also comparable. Now waiting for my new Bimmer.
I had ES350 before took my X5 40i last May. as per exterior, with my opinion, it looks much better if opt with M Sport professional package.
What's sad is: TOYOTA/LEXUS only focuses on luxury & refinement but they NEVER FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE! I'm sure if u don't overly spec the X5 hybrid you'll be @ a similar price point
there is the rx500h if one wants a performance RX
Majority don't need performance. Sales figures show that.
@@chibbyylolthe 500h isn’t a performance model😂
For starts it can’t even outperform a Camry v6
@@abhishekwellage215wrong. You don’t have to get a performance car to get performance. A Lincoln aviator for example isn’t a performance suv yet it’s significantly faster and drives better than any RX
@@naveenthemachine hello naveen
the 500h is the performance model of the RX
Doesn't the Lexus have an options turbo 4 with hybrid motor? I could have swore there was a 500H or something no?
But none of the powertrains are competitive
@@naveenthemachine The 500h is quick
They do, and my wife has the ‘24 RX 500h F-Sport in Copper Crest, Its quick with 6 speed tranny, and fun to drive. I’m not a fan of the narrow highly bolstered seats, but it’s quite capable with the 2.4l turbo and hybrid……but still a dang 4 cyl.
@@benbruno6656 not really. The 500h isn’t even faster than a rav4 prime or a v6 Camry.
I think a better comparison to the bmw plugin hybrid would be the Mazda cx90 plug in hybrid.
Equally specced the BMW was 20k more expensive when I was in the market for one. I went for the Lexus.
Understandable but I think the BMW is worth it
@@CarGeek360 True!
@CarGeek360 na its not. It cost 30% more with twice the depreciation than Lexus. X5s have horrible depreciation. If you are in market for BMW, better to shop 2-3yr used with warranty. You do not want to own bmw without warranty.
@@Evergreen319 the BMW is a heck of a lot more fun and I personally like the design a lot better, also the X5 40i is surprisingly reliable, look it up
@@MauriceBln1 they’re both really nice but the I like the BMW a lot better so I’m okay with it costing more, I still think it’s worth every penny
I pick up my lexus 450h+ monday. Ill take the made in japan lexus reliability over the bmw performance and air suspension all day
i test drove 350h, 500h, x5 40i for a family car (2car seat + 2 adults + 1 large dog)
500h - uncomfortable sport seat is not for family drive. drive quality is pretty good. recommended for skinny single person or couple
350h - very well tuned suspension compared to previous gen. downside of RX350s is coupe like design reduces rear seat headroom + smaller cargo space.
Damn good mpg is huge Plus but lack of space wasn't for me and interior felt bit boring.
40i - only downside is rear seat had smaller leg room compared to my xc90 due to lack of reclining nor sliding. but toddlers don't know.
sad 40i doesn't have air sus. but M adapt sus. still offers very smooth ride and ride quality compare to RX is night and day.
so we ended up buying 40i.
My parents compared these same options last year and got the X5 45e (lower start price and iDrive with buttons)
The plate says je me souviens wich means : I remember. Remember what? The past. The history of Quebec and the French language. Love from Montreal! Keep up the good work!
They only thing they care about in Quebec …. Not the healthcare or education or roads 😂
From someone who works at Lexus. You have to hit the unlock on the fob to get the charger to disconnect from the car
Greetings from Toronto! My father in law recently got a new RX450h.
Bro. I think I live at the same area as you guys. Would love to bump to you guys one day! Love the channel.
As a longtime subscriber, I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you guys talk about 0 to 60 times

2024 I Take the BMW X5.
18:36 I love guys!!❤
Amazing review!
I would definitely take the BMW. The X5 is a great SUV.
I drive the previous X5 M50i (V8) and wife drives the previous RX 450 (V6).
I bought the X5 over the Cayenne GTS and it really is an awesome place to be, except compared to the RX which is by far the better vehicle for day to day.
Didn't upgrade to the 4 cylinder RX because I felt it lost some smoothness, the X5 on the other hand has cost an arm and 2 legs to maintain over the years.
Maintenance is free for the first 4 years in the BMW...
@@pete64041 Which basically means you should sell it at start of year 5 :) BMW- great car to drive, terrible to own (unless you have "unlimited" budget). Lexus is more like an investment. Those are cars for 2 very different groups of people. You don't really say which one is better, but more which one suits you better. Plus owning BMW in many European countries puts you to a special group which is unfortunately not very famous, but rather hated and joked off. Some people don't buy BMW only because of this.
Will the BMW 40i petrol be good for city driving?
I would personally choose the X5 over the RX but for someone that doesn’t have a desire for performance the RX could be worth a look (I personally don’t like the way the RX looks however but to each their own)
Lexus suvs cant touch bmw in handling and performance
Gee only now you just figured that out? LOL 😂
The focus for the two brands is different.
@@Tomcc305 no it’s not LOL
Bmw focuses on performance AND luxury AND tech AND comfort. Bmw gives everything
Lexus gives nothing
Everything which includes a hefty repair bill and time in the shop getting fixed 🤣
@@naveenthemachine ive owned both and lexus hands down best in the long run
One for leasing, the other for owning till the wheels fall off.
One is for 3+ years of driving performance and pleasure and the other is a boring appliance that will go from point A to point B until the wheels fall off.
Tell that to yourself if it makes u feel good..
That X5 is incomparable in almost every category. So yeah as an enthusiastic motorhead the X5 for the win..
We have had our 2019 X5 40i for almost 5 years now.. and have faced no problems whatsoever apart from regular maintenance.
@@Samiuddin98 glad to hear. most would hope one has no issues after 5 years lol
@@mannegar7650 well you admitted your bias "as a motorhead" so of course the x5 would win
I wonder which would win if a enthusiastic appliance-head gave their opinion
I'd rather spend less time going to the service center. Have had two RXs since 2017. Lexus all the way. (I've had two because my first one was totaled by a drunk driver. We all survived the crash with no injuries).
What is up with the specs on this RX? I have 2019 but this 2024 RX has some low specs.
If you've had 2 in the last 6-7 years, you don't own vehicles long enough to have to worry about serious problems lol.
If you don’t mind a driving a boring car. Then again, if that’s the case, you’re better off buying a Toyota and saving some money.
Some people actually enjoy driving, so BMW would be the clear winner here.
@@jayem8981 Those people Will get an IS, RC, or an LC instead of any suv. I look at the full picture. We're talking 20k less for an SUV that will last years longer. For that, I'll take slightly less performance.
@@jayem8981 I bet you're typing this from a BMW service center.
@@DOMg00g actually, mine was totaled when a drunk driver launched his car into my car. We were lucky that we escaped with no injuries. That's why we bought the same vehicle. I mean it saved our lives so 🤷
Both. Both are good
no more USD price?
why does the 450H have the torque figure of a base Honda Civic?
Trying to save gas and not use it all up lol
Things I didn’t know I’d appreciate from auto reviewers.
*displaying pound feet of torque, not just newton-meters*
Je me souviens is I remember or a way of Quebeckers to say they are french canadian over the rest of english canada. Montreal had a series of ads in the 90's which hit similar vibes.
Cross shopping. Currently have the BMW iX 50 and wife has a new RX500h in Copper Crest. I love the iX but my travel has changed a bit, and want to go to a plug in hybrid. I’m certain my current iX 50 is my preference, but the X5 50e is sweet. Tough decision, but leaning toward the BMW. That engine and plug in hybrid is fantastic.
The BMW is the better car and their new models are proving to be pretty reliable, maybe not as good as Toyota but still good enough!
Hold up. What's up with the specs on this Lexus RX? I have a 2019 RX350 with 295hp/268 torque.
its 4 cyl now
@@eddiexhey what in the world?! They're killing the rx350!
Would choose the Lexus RX in Copper Crest as well and the absolute first thing I'd do is turn off the eye sight sensor. Drove a newer loaner recently and it annoyed the crap out of me but after turning it off along with the lane assist, it was a wonderful ride.
You have to keep turning it off every ignition.... In EU it's a mandatory feature now, so it will be in any new car, which means you have to live with it.
I just wish BMW had the 50e for the X6 as well! It makes no sense that they don't.

Never seen the a drone fly super jaw dropping scary ultra fast like on the drag race between Tesla model s plaid vs the red bull drone on Carwow. Still a whole new awesome way of how to watch Formula One in third person view 😂
My uncle has a 2017 NX. And now he got a 2024 X5 PHEV. he couldnt be happier. He did consider the RX though but the X5 just felt more for the money.
My local Audi dealer rep told me of a story where some guy hated his NX so bad that he took a major loss and got something German instead. Lexus are overrated and overhyped by their fanboys. Sure they are reliable but the Germans are better in every other way
@@SM-1010 seems like the guy needs to do a tad more research on what he's getting into
@@chibbyylolno he doesn’t. If you’re a sheep who doesn’t know anything get the Lexus. Otherwise if you’re a normal person who’s smart then get any European brand
@@naveenthemachine ...you're calling that guy not a normal person and a sheep then?
@@chibbyylol if you shop for an overrated brand that doesn’t excel in anything like Lexus then yes. If you shop for a brand that actually excels in so many noticeable ways that you can see for yourself then yes that person is normal.
For example a person who shops for a genesis or Jeep is more normal than a person who shops for Lexus
If I wasn't already subscribed, I would definitely subscribe after hearing Yuri purr 😂
If I'm paying to keep these cars longer than 3-5 years then it's Lexus for me. You'll end up paying half the cost of the BMW comes maintenance time.
That lexus torque is horrendous
it’s only electric torque not combined with gas engine
No chance for Lexus!
Gee only now you just figured that out LOL?😂
BMW X5 no doubt. If anything the Mazda CX-90 or 70 should be compared to the X5 because it also runs on an inline 6-turbo. Both vehicles have refined interior and chassis designs.
The whole “Toyota makes reliable car” is questionable with their new models being recalled like left and right (yes, Lexus modes too). The only strong point of Toyota is out of the picture here.
Yea but they meant the older ones.
The whole "Toyota makes reliable cars" is completely irrelevant to the customer base anyway. those cars are either gonna get leased or bought by upper class folk that will sell them after 100k miles. Both cars make those 100k without much trouble.
Toyota doesn't even make the top 10 most called car brands list (ford > chrysler > bmw > mb > gm > jag / lr > honda > vw > hyundai/kia > tesla) and the 'out of the picture' reliability is still showcased in JDP/CR studies
@dosko9980 irrelevant to customers? If toyota / lexus have 'only reliability' as the strong point and nothing else, why do you think they're breaking record sales each year? folks just throwing money for fun? lol
At least, Lexus do recalls. BMW doesn't recall, but their crap falls apart after the warranty ends and cost a fortune to repair.
People rag on BMW for their design but that Lexus is just awful to look at. The RX has never had any appeal from a looks perspective though IMO.
I am choosing Lexus any day- bmw owner
We had an E-Golf. My wife was charging and the power went out. We went to leave to get dinner and couldn't drive because the charger was locked in the car. We eventually had to slip a shim in the charge port to release the charger. Never again will we own one.
Lexus is the best decision. At the end of the day its reliability comfort n economy. Im not paying 107k for a zero to 60 . Im paying 87k for 2024 to 3024 thats wise
I was looking at the RX plug in.
I decided to go with X5 50e.
Much better experience overall.
The gas engine feels solid and gives you plenty of confidence on the road even without adding the electric motor to the equation.
I usually get in the high 30 miles of electric range in mildly cold temperature (California) and able to reach 88 mph in just electric. I don’t characteristically drive in “gentle mode” and so even in electric only it feels like it has more than adequate power to merge on the freeway or sprint from a stop sign.
Over 100 miles trip with battery depleted going up and down large hills I got just over 26 mpg. On this trip the battery would always charge to 1-2 miles (hybrid mode) and keep it ready for full horse power and torque as needed.
Starting with fully charged battery on this same stretch I achieved over 40 mpg which is better than what I get in my Lexus ES300h (rated at 44 mpg but my heavier foot gets 37 mpg).
Charging it at its max rate of 32 amps (220V) gets me close to 40 electric miles in just over 3 hours.
Most of the trips are short (less than 30 miles) and with just 3k miles on the odometer the car has been filled up only 3 times in its life - one by the dealership and two by me.
When driving during daytime one problem that I have is the reflection of the trim that is around the vents into the side mirrors when looking at the side mirrors.
I don’t notice it all the time but sometime it can be annoying.
Overall great car, quality seems to be there, and driving experience is on the next few levels when compared to the RX.
If you can spend the extra money then I think is worth it.
Cheers!
Please come back after 100K miles :)
Owner of 2 Lexus, one an 10yo RX, I have faced no mechanical or other issue. So, although X5 must me a very good car, I would go for the RX.
They have a terrible spec on the BMW. I ordered mine with Interlagos Blue Metallic II on 21s with full black Napa leather. It’s stunning. Turns more heads than my old M3. Nearly perfect car. I drive 100% EV in the city, get 550 miles of range, and it’s quicker than my V8 M3 in a straight line. Also, the tech is crazy. Gesture and voice control work well enough that I never take my hands off the wheel. The air conditioned massage seats are amazing on road trips.
Disagree on charging - full charge took me 30.5 hours. I had to get a 220V circuit pulled to level 2 charge. That takes 3.5 hours for a full charge.
LR Defender 90 (starts $25k below Lexus).
I would choose the Bimmer but I must admit that there is something a bit off about BMW designs despite this one being the better looking one in their lineup.
Looks amazing IRL.
I think it’s becuase the grill doesn’t have the M sport package that blacks it out
2024 interface is hard to learn, I looked at one and they got rid of all the buttons etc... Its not user friendly and one of the reasons I picked a RX... Although I think the X5 is higher end overall. but more $$$$ also... I dont like the 450E though, I bought the RX500h..
They are all moving to touch screen everything though some are a bit better at it than others. You are going to plug in your phone anyway. I think you should give the BMW a try when you trade in your Lexus as they seem to have nailed the ride/ handling department albeit at a higher cost.
As someone who’s looked into buying both theses cars, it’s worth noting that with similar equipment, the price difference is gonna be around $30k which is a pretty significant sum
What are you talking about it’s a 6k difference…
I'm watching this from my Lexus RX350 F Sport.
And you’re sitting there in shame that your fancy Lexus has less power than a civic LOL

Comparing these two has to be illegal 😭
Why?
BMW for sure unless you just can't spend the extra.......in which case you should probably just get a regular hybrid RX lol.
The reliability diff isn't even as large as it used to be, the B58/B48 era Bimmers are so much better than most people think.
Nobody cross shops these two. The x5 is the gold standard
Coincidentally enough, the comment right below yours says the guy was cross-shopping these two vehicles.

BMW by a country mile. Every category in my opinion.

@@afarrel3195nobody gave a shit when Mercedes did it with their last generation interior but now y’all have strength for BMW when they do it. 🤦🏿♂️
Good news! Not sure if it’s going to be implemented world wide or just Europe but the EU is mandating cars keep certain functions controlled by physical buttons and not rely on digital, screen or capacitive.

Lease the BMW, buy the Lexus
True, but if you don't mind a used X5 thats a few years old, that will represent good value. IMO BMW's are better driving vehicles, but they depreciate like a stone vs. Toyota / Lexus.
No if you want a luxury car get a bmw. Otherwise get a corolla if you’re a coward

Are you guys from the Coppinadian part of Canada? Why the hell are you comparing an RX against an X5?
You tested a FWD RAV4-L from Luxury-Toyota with a 175lbft of torque against a 483hp hybrid performance vehicle from BMW.. and you were surprised?
