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
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. ua-cam.com/video/WGR5WrXE2u8/v-deo.htmlsi=-7S2hQy2cGIAgJBJ&t=631 Hope that helps.
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.
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.......
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
Please compare the 2025 Accord and Camry.
It's on my to do list.
Bmw for me all day long 😊
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

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
Mercedes! Nice comparison video
Thank you!
Maybe I missed it but how much ev only range is the Mercedes? I saw you said 40 for the bmw

if the Benz used the I6 it would be the winner. but Hard to spend 90k on a 4 banger
I wish the GLE used an inline-six as well, but it is a very good engine in the Benz.

Good luck with your shopping
If you put cayenne ehybrid in the mix, what would you pick?

That’s helpful!! Thank you.
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.
There is God in the sky and Benz on the ground.
The ultimate sleeper
Try the GLE 53 AMG HYBRID OVER 600 HP
BMW
Mercedes Benz for more luxury and a Panoramic roof.
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: ua-cam.com/video/3ZeGR8bfGnY/v-deo.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

BMW is way more sporty. Mercedes is a soccer mom car
