COMPARE THE 2024 BMW X5VS. The Competition
Midsize luxury SUVs have no better standard bearer than the 2024 BMW X5. It’s all here -- efficiency, performance, technology, indulgence. Just a quick glance at the X5 specs sheet and trim list makes it clear that BMW has created one of the most broad, versatile and impressive model lineups anywhere in this segment.
We can say this with confidence because we’ve reviewed the specs of the competition. The 2024 Audi Q8 is the brand’s flagship SUV, sized to compete with the svelte X5 rather than a larger three-row SUV. The 2024 Volvo XC90 likewise sits at the top of the Volvo lineup, and its inclusion here only reaffirms that the competition’s best efforts are merely par for the course for BMW. To learn more, review our X5 vs. Q8 vs. XC90 comparison below, then visit our BMW dealership near Meridian Charter Township to conduct a 2024 X5 review of your own.
Review 2024 BMW X5 Specs Comparison
The 2024 BMW X5 engine options cement the appeal of this SUV. Are you a Michigan BMW fan with a penchant for performance? A potent V8 engine and all the requisite chassis and suspension improvements are waiting for you in the X5 M Competition. You’ll find this trim features more horsepower than the Audi RS Q8 -- the most muscular variant of the Q8 -- as well as a blisteringly quick 3.7-second 0-60 mph time.
For those more interested in electrified performance, the X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid delivers an all-electric range of up to 40 miles on a full charge. That’s more than what the Volvo XC90 Recharge offers, the only other PHEV in this comparison. Those wanting a Q8 plug-in hybrid are out of luck.
Simply put, the new 2024 X5 is the fastest SUV here -- and the most environmentally friendly. That breadth of performance could only come from a new BMW X5.

2024 BMW X5 Feature Comparison
Everywhere you look in the X5 interior reveals just how far ahead BMW engineers are in the connectivity race. Ahead of the driver sits the BMW Curved Display, a proprietary design that’s not replicated in the Volvo or Audi. The infotainment system, meanwhile, is powered by BMW iDrive 8, the latest iteration of one of the luxury car market’s original in-car software suites.
Just as the early iDrive systems redefined how we engage with our cars, the new iDrive 8 is likewise powering innovative new ways to command features, such as the optional Gesture Control that lets you use hand motions to call up certain features. And to ensure the tactile experience remains unsurpassed, the X5 even offers available glass controls. This subtle but meaningful upgrade will remind drivers that the new X5 is truly one of the best new luxury SUVs for sale on the market.
