BMW X5 vs. Lexus RX 350

Unbeatable Power & Performance

Found under the hood of your luxury SUV is an unstoppable beast of an engine. With this, you'll experience race-inspired power each time you press the gas pedal. While both models offer incredible power, it's the BMW X5 and its three different engine configurations that really make this SUV shine.

The RX 350 is only offered with one engine-a 3.5L V6 engine that produces up to 295 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. This engine can't compete with any of the engines of the X5 in terms of power. It especially can't compete with the available 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine and its 523 horsepower.

Plus, the X5 is offered with a hybrid powertrain for an eco-friendly commute, something that can't be said about the RX 350.
