Strong value proposition compared to the Porsche Cayenne

X5 remains a leader in its class, especially the 40i model

Comfortable interior with well-placed storage and good tech

X5 is still a great all-rounder in terms of luxury and performance

Driving dynamics aren't as sporty as older X5 models (e.g., E70)

Sensitive brakes, especially with M sport package and larger wheels

Glossy interior surfaces can cause glare issues in sunlight

2021 X5 vs 2024 X5 – Kind of disappointed with all the downgrades!
