BMW and Land Rover are two greatest competitors in the automobile industry. They offer an extensive lineup of vehicles, including the likes of Range Rover Sport and BMW X5. If you are looking to buy one of them, this comparison will give you a good idea about their features. You will recognize why most car buyers have BMW on their shopping radar.
Design & Style
The Range Rover Sport is a 5-seater in standard configuration, where you have an option to add another row. While the front seats offer ample room and support, the rear seats are equally cramped, and only ideal for two adults. It features a modern cabin, which is quiet, attractive and filled with soft surfaces. Reviewers feel the cabin is not as posh as other rivals in this segment.
The 2019 BMW X5 comes standard with 5-seating configuration, which can be extended to 7. As a driver, you will enjoy great visibility and ease of access to the dashboard. Both the rows are adult-friendly, and it won’t leave you disappointed at the end of a long trip. X5 has one of the nicest cabins in it class, thanks to plentiful quality materials and soft-touch points.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 Range Rover Sport is equipped with the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system featuring HD Radio, 10-inch screen, USB port, Bluetooth and navigation. The touch screen is difficult to access while driving, and is less responsive than most rival systems. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration are missing in the base model. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, lane departure warning, parking sensors and emergency braking.
The 2019 BMW X5 is popular for its iDrive infotainment interface, which is one of the best systems around. It features highly responsive touch screen and excellent graphics. There are plenty of physical controls within easy reach of the driver, and you can handle them without getting distracted. Some of the standard safety features include rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning and parking sensors.
Performance
Speaking of performance, the 2019 Range Rover Sport comes with a 340-HP V6 engine that moves the vehicle with ease. If you are looking for more energetic performance, you can rather opt for BMW X5 with its 456 HP V8 powertrain. Nothing moves the vehicle like a V8 engine.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 BMW X5 is a great vehicle with potent engine options and sporty handling. It offers decent mileage and elegant cabin. In this competitive class of midsize luxury SUVs, BMW X5 does well in outclassing other rivals, in terms of agility and handling.
