In this thrilling comparison by TheStraightPipes, we dive into the world of high-end plug-in hybrids with the BMW X5 X drive 50e and the Lexus RX 450h. The battle of power and range unfolds, with the BMW boasting more horsepower, torque, and electric range compared to the Lexus. But it's not just about numbers; these hybrids take different paths in integrating their motors, resulting in distinct driving experiences - the BMW's transmission-based system versus the Lexus's axle-based setup.
As the road unravels beneath their wheels, the team delves into the comfort domain, exploring the adaptive air suspension of the BMW that offers a plush ride, contrasting with the Lexus's non-adaptive setup. Exterior aesthetics come into play, with a nod towards the Lexus for its appealing looks, wheels, and paint that outshine the BMW. The discussion extends to the finer details like headlights, tail lights, and unique features such as the BMW's clamshell trunk and the Lexus's innovative trunk closing mechanism.
Inside the cabins, a tech showdown unfolds - from seat controls to infotainment systems. The BMW leans towards traditional controls, while the Lexus embraces touch buttons. The battle of comfort continues with comparisons of armrests, dashboard layouts, and the presence of launch control, adding a touch of excitement to the mix. And when it comes to speed, the BMW surprises with its agility, leaving the Lexus in its rearview mirror despite not being a dedicated sports car. The rear seats, moonroofs, and driver-assist features are scrutinized, highlighting the BMW's eye-tracking technology and the Lexus's prowess in adaptive cruise and lane centering.
