Reviews SummaryThe 2025 BMW X5 is the automaker’s midsize luxury SUV, positioned between the X3 and X7, and alongside the coupe-like X6. That puts it in a well-populated segment alongside SUVs like the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Genesis GV80, Land Rover Range Rover Sport, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Porsche Cayenne, and Volvo XC90. Following a substantial update for the 2024 model year, the X5 celebrates its 25th anniversary with a limited-edition model, but receives no other changes. Verdict: The latest version of the X5 isn’t the best value, but it explains this SUV’s longevity. | |
Reviews SummaryThe two-row Audi Q8 delivers a lot of what affluent buyers are looking for. Its two higher-grade performance variants, the Audi SQ8 and Audi RS Q8 give buyers the option of adding more power and improved drive dynamics for the otherwise relatively traditional luxury SUV. It faces stiff competition in its segment but is positioned to be a worthy challenger. | |
