Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota Land Cruiser, with comparable head- and legroom. The Toyota Land Cruiser will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the BMW X5.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the BMW X5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW X5 is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Dimensions
The BMW X5 is a little wider than the Toyota Land Cruiser, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the BMW X5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Handling
The BMW X5 has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Land Cruiser, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
With the BMW X5, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Toyota Land Cruiser. The BMW X5 has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Powertrain
The BMW X5 has much lower torque than the Toyota Land Cruiser, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
