BMW X5 vs Lexus RX 350 Mobile ALX5 vs RX 350: A Power-Packed Performance

Confidence is power, and you’ll never feel so powerful as you will with hundreds and hundreds of horses under the hood. Expect a potent performance from the 2021 X5 and RX 350—especially the BMW.

That’s what you might expect, isn’t it? After all, BMW is known for performance, and the X5 M50i shows why with its TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. Accelerate in mere seconds, with up to 523 horsepower on tap in your BMW! In the Lexus RX 350, you’ll be holding the reins of a 295-horsepower V6.

Even the base configuration BMW X5 puts more power at your command than the Lexus does. With the standard TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine, you’ll see 335 horsepower as you take to the streets.

BMW X5 vs Lexus RX 350: An Electrified SUV

Even the sportiest luxury vehicles are going electric these days. While the Lexus RX 350 does not offer an electrified option (though a hybrid version of the RX450 is available), there is a BMW X5 plug-in hybrid.

This hybrid-electric BMW, known as the X5 xDrive45e, generates a formidable 389 horsepower. All-star performance aside, though, it can also help you save on fuel. Note the car’s 31-mile all-electric range—the longest available on any BMW plug-in hybrid vehicle.

That means for short commutes, your TwinPower Turbo engine can lie dormant without using any fuel. Meanwhile, the available BMW i Wallbox can be installed in your home for lightning-fast charging.

The 2021 X5 and RX 350 are paragons of beauty, and you’ll realize that the moment you slide inside.

It’s plush and easy to sink into as you settle in for your morning drive!

If you want some beautiful interior accents, the BMW X5 has a leg over its Lexus competitor. Add some shimmering Aluminum Tetragon to the dash—or the Fineline Stripe Brown High Gloss Wood, a dynamic and multifaceted finish that will draw the eyes of every passenger along for the ride.

The BMW X5 is also available with Glass Controls—another luxury you won’t find in the Lexus RX 350. It features handmade, diamond-cut trim elements on the transmission selector and iDrive controller.
