2023 Lexus RX350 vs. BMW X5

At Temecula Valley Lexus, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of luxury sedans and SUVs from Lexus, designed to suit a wide range of budget and driving needs! If you’re looking for a stylish new mid-size SUV to give your Lake Elsinore commute an upgrade, consider the flagship Lexus RX. The RX offers strong performance specs, premium amenities, and a roomy interior cabin with plenty of space for passengers and cargo alike. It’s a great choice for any driver, but how does it compare to other luxury SUVs like the new BMW X5? Compare Lexus vs. BMW SUVs in the guide below!

2023 Lexus RX vs. BMW X5: Price 

Let’s start our comparison guide by looking at the respective starting prices of the Lexus RX and BMW X5. Price is usually the first thing that drivers see when they shop for a new SUV, and right off the bat you’ll see that the RX is offered at a significantly lower starting price than the X5. Both come with five available trim levels, and the Lexus offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive depending on how much traction you want on the Fallbrook roads. Compare the Lexus vs. BMW SUV pricing and trim levels below:

2023 Lexus RX 350 Trim Levels

• RX 350: $48,550 MSRP (FWD) / $50,150 MSRP (AWD) 
• RX 350 Premium: $50,550 MSRP (FWD) / $52,150 MSRP (AWD)
• RX 350 Premium+: $53,150 MSRP (FWD) / $54,750 MSRP (AWD)
• RX 350 Luxury: $56,550 MSRP (FWD) / $58,150 MSRP (AWD)

2023 BMW X5 Trim Levels

2023 Lexus RX vs. BMW X5: Warranty Coverage

A good warranty is essential to giving you peace of mind behind the wheel of your new luxury SUV. While Lexus and BMW offer the same limited warranty of 4 years or 50,000 miles, the Lexus RX comes with two additional advantages that you won’t find on its BMW counterpart. First of all, the Lexus RX offers a longer powertrain warranty, at 6 years or 70,000 miles, while BMW only covers the powertrain for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The Lexus RX and BMW X5 both offer hybrid models, but only Lexus offers protection for hybrid components for 8 years or 100,000 miles! Given that the Lexus also comes with a lower starting price by over $10,000, we think that’s a pretty great deal.
