The GLE width you're thinking about (84.3") is with mirrors according to the Mercedes spec sheet. The new X5 is 3" wider with mirrors - 87.3". They went crazy with the width on this one in my opinion...

I love the interior, even though I wonder why the made separate buttons for comfort, sport eco pro etc. I think a rocker switch would have been nicer, and certainly take up less space

Size comparison
Thanks for pointing that out - so width on X5 is about 3" wider that GLE. Will be interesting to see if Mercedes upsizes with the new one that will be out early next year.

Aren’t they ashamed to come with the same 335 HP engine?
Every model supposed to be better, faster, stronger, more powerful. I guess, we should be happy that is not less car like the new X1 versus the old one. This, while the others are evolving.... Shame! |

Dated on release

I hope they designed the G05 to accept this sort of upgrade in the future, otherwise in a few years it's going to be even more date.

Standard ddc is outstanding. An astute decision depending on the quality of the system.

2) The new X5 has a 335hp B58 engine. The old X5 has a 300hp N55. New one 0-60 in 5.3s, which is class leading. Old one, 6.0s. Maybe math works different where you’re from, but it is faster and more powerful everywhere other than on your keyboard. |

While the F48 may be " better" for more buyers than before... (in the same way that an E36 M3 was " better" than an E30 M3) .. I am not one of them. |

I agree with you on all those extra motors. I believe they are an optional cargo package though. I certainly would not be ticking that box !

You have no ideea what are you talking about. My wife will probably knock you down with her non car-enthusiast comments. She was bang on when comparing the two X1’s. And she doesnt want the new X1 “under any circumstances” because is lazy, instable and without guts”. That’s aside from mechanics and other closed involved professionals that are sharing the same opinion. And no, it is far from best in class. FAR. Please do your homework. If you need a list with cheapness aproach and shortcuts done on this car, (aside from FWD haldex and less HP, or boaty ride compared with the E84) let me know, I will gladly make it for you, including pictures to show you where the value is and how cheap and shitty that vehicle is. To say that a sedan platform with a RWD biased transmission is worse than a tall Suv with Haldex you must lack some basic knowledge. Aslo, since we are talking math, keep in mind that in US the E84 was very shortly lived. Canada had it one year ahead of you while my family in Europe was running the vehicle for more thean four years ahead of you. Of course is less seen or acknowledged. Also, you have no ideea what a great deal the E84 was. A fully loaded X1 (3 Series) bought for less than a medium 3 Series Touring, just to have people on board. It was a lot of car for the money. And in here I am talking good materials and better fit and finish than F84 will ever have. Secondly, the 335 Hp engine is a shame, BMW used to rule this game, no more. For a 3 series or 2 series (if is lighter and not like M2 versus M3) is a good engine; for a boat like the new X5 and keeping mind the others, is a SHAME. Leave the math aside, I was not talking about the old X5, I was talking about the 335 engine card that is overplayed and is not even something that you can call even refeshing not to mention a benchmark. Never thought I will walk in an Audi dealership, yet today, after more than 17 years, I was looking at the S5. That tells me a lot. Also, the guy showed me by what margin they beat BMW in sales. Yeah, I hate to admit it but they have a nice product, with nice no fake sound and more powerful for less money... Last edited by Teutonic; 06-06-2018 at 11:45 PM.. |

The Audi S5 is a nice car, but it has its issues. The transmission isn't programmed all that well (kind of laggy), the steering feel isn't great, the handling in corners isn't great (you feel the car push), the interior material quality isn't as good as it used to be, the seat comfort isn't great. |
