Beautiful Blend of Luxury and Performance
5 out of 5 stars
JamesK, 07/29/2023
2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Bought a 2024 BMW X5 m40i about a month ago. Totally impressed! Exterior styling changes further enhance the beauty of the car. Interior is clean, simple, and elegant. Engine and transmission powerful and smooth. Very quiet ride! I carefully compared to Mercedes GLE 450 before purchase. GLE body style looked a bit dated and stodgy to me. Reviews of GLE touted interior luxury, but to … me, the BMW is hands down more luxurious and up to date looking. During driving test, the GLE was not as tight and nimble, and I felt some roll in curves. BMW driving performance was superb and superior. For me, the choice was easy. BMW X5 delivers an excellent blend of luxury and performance that is best in class.
