HORSEPOWER
ACCELERATION (0 TO 100km/hr)
PLUG-IN HYBRID
When comparing performance in the standard trims of the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE, we found the X5’s advantages in power are due to it being a Sports Activity Vehicle® (SAV®)—the X5 has the power to make long drives effortless.
This begins with the xDrive40i trim of the X5. Powered by a 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine, the initial trim of this SAV® generates an athletic performance:
- 335 horsepower
- 331 lb-ft of torque
- 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time
The GLE 350 SUV connects to a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with direct injection:
- 255 horsepower
- 273 lb-ft of torque
- 7.1-second 0-100 km/h time
This results in more authority when accelerating in the BMW X5.
Both SUVs are prepared for different weather. They come standard with all-wheel drive, which sends the ideal amount of power to the wheels with the most grip to help you maintain sure-footed control.
A hybrid vehicle gives you the best of both worlds—gas and electric. You’ll be able to extend the range of your SUV and even achieve zero emissions when only using battery power. Only one of these SUVs is available as a hybrid. Which is it?
The BMW X5 presents drivers with the ability to optimize their driving with a plug-in hybrid model. The xDrive45e uses a 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine with integrated electric motor. The unit generates a blend of power and efficiency:
- 389 horsepower
- 331 lb-ft of torque
- 88-kilometer all-electric range
The hybrid X5’s fuel consumption of 2.5 L/100 km combined decreases stops to the gas station.* It also has an 88-kilometer all-electric range, so you can make your drives completely emission-free.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE does not give drivers the option to commute with hybrid technology. If you’re looking for a more time- and fuel-efficient experience that also presents a luxury cabin, you’ll find that experience inside the BMW X5.
Technology is essential to everything you do inside these SUVs, whether you’re staying connected to friends, finding a new way to work, or listening to your favourite tunes. There are also advanced systems to help keep you safe.
Both the X5 and the GLE provide drivers and passengers with infotainment that enhances each trip. It all starts with their matching 12.3-inch touchscreen displays, which give you access to shared features, like:
- Apple CarPlay™
- Android Auto™
- Hands-free Bluetooth® technology
Both models also come with a system that can prepare for an imminent collision. Active Protection of the BMW X5 and PRESAFE® in the GLE both work to protect passengers once an imminent collision is detected. They can automatically adjust the front seats, tighten the seat belts, and close the windows.
