Just because of the i6, BMW. I kind of like the styling of the Benz better, but the zoom zoom factor pushed me toward the BMW. I enjoy the side-by-side comparison of the vehicles very much. Great video!
That's good to know, I was wondering the same. Personally, I'd probably lease this and since this car will drive nearly 100mile/day I'd probably get the air suspension, which the 40i doesn't let you add without removing the M Sport package.
@@SK-so5nj don’t get air suspension on the X5, my dad has a 2025 X5 40i M Sport fully loaded with adaptive M suspension which rides just as good as X5s with air suspension due to adaptive dampers while having superior handling, get a X7 if you really want air suspension on a BMW SUV
Great job, thanks! We are shopping. We have been a BMW Family and recently looked at Mercedes. The braking system with Mercedes has me concerned. I wish this had been addressed.
I’d go 40i M Sport, it drives like a M60i (just without the extra power) and it should be reliable for at least 80k-100k miles, I don’t recomend the 50e as BMW PHEVs aren’t reliable
@@viewsonvehicles try a 40i non M-Sport and a 40i M Sport, you will notice a difference, my dad ordered a X5 40i with the M Sport Pkg recently and we wouldn’t get a X5 40i without it
48 miles, officially. Here is my full review of the GLE, starting with that figure. ruclips.net/video/WGR5WrXE2u8/видео.htmlsi=-7S2hQy2cGIAgJBJ&t=631 Hope that helps.
Money no object, the Cayenne. It drives extremely well! But, it's also $30K more than the BMW and $25K over the Mercedes, the ones I tested anyway. I hope that helps.
@@ScotiaMB The X5 is regenerative and has standard air suspension unlike the 450e. It also has a much smoother 6 cylinder vs a 4 banger. Mercedes doesn't even have full self driving...It is the worse car is every aspect...

Thank you! And, yeah, totally agree, the I-6 is a big plus.
very comprehensive review. thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
No compromise BMW all day long.......
Bmw for me all day long 😊
X5 is better however I’d pick the 40i over the 50e for reliability
What was your reason?
@@timp8332 BMW PHEVs aren’t reliable generally speaking but they are def better than they used to be

@@CarGeek360 idk what you mean with BMW PHEV being unreliable, have a 2021 45e with 100k on the clock, never had a single issue and it runs like new
Mercedes! Nice comparison video
Thank you!

Good luck with your shopping
BMW
Good comparison.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I will put another one together soon.
@@viewsonvehicles I appreciate the opinions of ‘this over that’ for a given use case.
Which one is better to buy x5 40i or x5 50e?
I’d go 40i M Sport, it drives like a M60i (just without the extra power) and it should be reliable for at least 80k-100k miles, I don’t recomend the 50e as BMW PHEVs aren’t reliable
I've only driven the 50e of the current X5s, so I cannot say, unfortunately. I'll see if I can get a 40i to test
@@viewsonvehicles try a 40i non M-Sport and a 40i M Sport, you will notice a difference, my dad ordered a X5 40i with the M Sport Pkg recently and we wouldn’t get a X5 40i without it
No need for a big engine Waste of money I have X640I more power than I can handle.
I just bought the 40i M support package
Please compare the 2025 Accord and Camry.
It's on my to do list.
Maybe I missed it but how much ev only range is the Mercedes? I saw you said 40 for the bmw

Mercedes Benz for more luxury and a Panoramic roof.
If you put cayenne ehybrid in the mix, what would you pick?
Money no object, the Cayenne. It drives extremely well! But, it's also $30K more than the BMW and $25K over the Mercedes, the ones I tested anyway. I hope that helps.
That’s helpful!! Thank you.
BMW…like the other guy said, the zoom, zoom factor 😅
Mercedes has power 2nd row in the 450e???? What! Now that’s nice. Never understood $80k+ and being stingy with pull-down second row seats.
Yeah, it's nice and it does more than just fold down: ruclips.net/video/3ZeGR8bfGnY/видео.html
BMW is not regenerative which is stupid. And their AC system no auto is a joke. Stiff ride, inside sucks. Mercedes much more luxury for money.
Not sure about your suv but my bmw x5 50e certainly has regen brakes
