Lexus GS 2016 vs BMW X5 2013
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Body: | Sedan | Crossover / SUV | |
| Crossovers and SUVs have better off-road capabilities (higher ground clearance, can have 4x4 drive), they are preferable for driving on unpaved roads and rural areas. Also, the driver's seating position is higher in a crossover or SUVs, which provides better visibility also in city. This usually comes at the cost of higher fuel consumption, increased weight and higher maintenance costs. | |||
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 2.5 Hybrid | 3.0 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (Lexus GS) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (BMW X5), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||

| Power: | 181 HP | 381 HP | |
| Torque: | 221 NM | 740 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9 seconds | 5.4 seconds | |
|
BMW X5 is a more dynamic driving. Lexus GS engine produces 200 HP less power than BMW X5, whereas torque is 519 NM less than BMW X5. Due to the lower power, Lexus GS reaches 100 km/h speed 3.6 seconds later. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 130 mm (5.1 inches) | 222 mm (8.7 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW X5 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 300'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Lexus GS engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 14 years | 18 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 7 sērija, BMW X6 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW X5 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| BMW X5 2013 3.0 engine: The N57 engine is a robust turbo diesel unit without any major systemic issues. Its longevity depends heavily on regular maintenance, including timely servicing, periodic cleaning of the intake system, and active regeneration of the diesel particulate filter.
