With a starting price of just below $59,000, the X5 is in direct competition with the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes GLE. The Audi, while providing lots of space, hasn't been redesigned since 2015 and is starting to show its age. Meanwhile the Mercedes GLE is, like the X5 a relatively new vehicle. However, the GLE is a far less sporty driving experience than the X5 and doesn't entertain the driver in the same way. The BMW X5 can provide true driving enjoyment in a class that usually doesn't facilitate fun driving, placing it pretty close company at this price point.
