2024 BMW X5 vs Lexus RX - The Best SUV’s? 

Check our Yuri and Jakub's Personal Channels! Yuri - youtube.com/@yuritereshyn Jakub - youtube.com/@itsreallyjakub

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.

"Longer always wins" defo went over Yuri's head 😂

Je me souviens is basically "I/we remember" in reference to the sacrifice of our soldiers in the various wars

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

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.

Love this review and your chemistry is AWESOME...

Been cross shopping these two , this is the perfect vid for me 🎉

Thank you guys for talk about the outlet situation

I feel the test was done wrong , the comparison should be Lexus RX500h vs BMW X5 50e

Great great comparison video 👏🏾

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)

Great review

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.

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.

Lexus: 175 torque?! Wow.

I do hope that you guys review the 24' Lincoln Nautilus as well

The "Je me souviens" quote is on the license plates because it's part of the Quebec coat of arms motto (1883)

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.

Anything with a b58 wins for me lol

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.

How does the eye tracking work with sun glasses? Have you guys experienced it?

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.

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.

8:38 - Lexus also has memory seats for Passengers side as well. 16:20 - that’s a heated vent for your Knees.

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 just saw an ad about the Lexus Rx F and it sounded amazing tbh, could be the next review.

As a longtime subscriber, I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you guys talk about 0 to 60 times

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.

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!

I own an X5 50i with 97000 miles on it and it's reliable. No issues 👍🏾

Bro. I think I live at the same area as you guys. Would love to bump to you guys one day! Love the channel.

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

No way to pay 87k for 4 cylinder....I rest my case.

Does the bmw door also fly open when your knee hits the cap touch push button like the Lexus?

I think a better comparison to the bmw plugin hybrid would be the Mazda cx90 plug in hybrid.

My parents compared these same options last year and got the X5 45e (lower start price and iDrive with buttons)

Equally specced the BMW was 20k more expensive when I was in the market for one. I went for the Lexus.

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

Greetings from Toronto! My father in law recently got a new RX450h.

Picking the lexus is just CRAZY 😅 Talking about saving money between the two but spending 80k on a 4 cylinder.

How does the 4 banger in the RX sound/feel, maybe a little whiny or rattlie, they should have kept the V6.

From someone who works at Lexus. You have to hit the unlock on the fob to get the charger to disconnect from the car

12:13 made me laugh way more than it should have lmaooo 😹

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.

Things I didn’t know I’d appreciate from auto reviewers. *displaying pound feet of torque, not just newton-meters*

18:36 I love guys!!❤ Amazing review!

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

I just wish BMW had the 50e for the X6 as well! It makes no sense that they don't.

Doesn't the Lexus have an options turbo 4 with hybrid motor? I could have swore there was a 500H or something no?

Both. Both are good

I pick up my lexus 450h+ monday. Ill take the made in japan lexus reliability over the bmw performance and air suspension all day

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 😂

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!

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

If I wasn't already subscribed, I would definitely subscribe after hearing Yuri purr 😂

I would definitely take the BMW. The X5 is a great SUV.

“Purr baby purr! Purrrrr….” My future text notification 🔔

Will the BMW 40i petrol be good for city driving?

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.

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!

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.

why does the 450H have the torque figure of a base Honda Civic?

Hold up. What's up with the specs on this Lexus RX? I have a 2019 RX350 with 295hp/268 torque.

what the hell happened to bmw interior man, they used to be one of the best in industry cause of simplicity now the got a smart tv??

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.

I kind of wish they had the 2.4 turbo charged engine because it's a big advantage in favour of the BMW when it comes performance

no more USD price?

LR Defender 90 (starts $25k below Lexus).

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.

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.

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.

Great open😂 👍

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.

I'm watching this from my Lexus RX350 F Sport.

One for leasing, the other for owning till the wheels fall off.

“Je me souviens“ is what I say after I return from Ontario and feel all the potholes and cracks in Quebec 😂

Lexus suvs cant touch bmw in handling and performance

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.

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.

I’m a Mercedes fan and long time customer and if I had to pick, it’s the BMW for me!

Agreed. I love the auto mode on my Lexus it ties in the steering wheel, heated, ventilated seats, and the AC it’s unreal.

The one aspect the Germans will always win is the engines and transmissions and the suspensions. They perform on another level and yet are still efficient. They may cost a bit to maintain but look at how much better it performs. The US and Canada is missing out on the diesel options for the X5 though which are sublime.

Nobody buys a Lexus for its performance, they buy it for its reliability, comfort, and high resale value. To make performance the highest priority does a disservice to Lexus

Not going to the lie the Lexus was really nice. I had the rx350h as a long term loaner and it was very smooth and comfortable even in a mid trim. Few gripes like the the center console being very tacky but otherwise I thought it was really nice

If I buy an SUV, I kinda really like Lexus GX Overland, but these too the Lexus reliable less trips to the shop the better 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is kinda of interesting cat technology wise

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?

I guess the plug in is the only reason you didn’t do the 500h?

The armrest and touching the wheel thing is an absolute make or break for me

It means we remember the sacrifices of the soldiers. Shout out from mtl

My 2020 X5 has the ability to fold the rear seats while at the back of the vehicle. I don't know why BMW removed that feature.

Can’t get the heated and cooled cup holders in US. Eliminated in 2021 due to pandemic. Wondering how the rest of the world still gets it when they are built I the uS

I think with the new Rivian R2 and R3 coming in 2026 that this won’t matter much longer to those of a certain generation

Why not compare the 40e? Also I currently drive a rental X5 40i without the air suspension, not the most comfortable, so make sure to equip with air suspension.

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
