BMW X5 vs. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Review

Utility
The Chevrolet Suburban 1500 will most certainly prove friendlier than the X5 for those of you with frequent child-cargo. The Chevrolet Suburban 1500 is likely a better choice than the BMW regarding hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of equipment or big animals. Towing is considerably more the Chevrolet Suburban 1500's forte than it is the BMW X5's.

Dimensions
The Suburban 1500 is substantially more bulky than the BMW X5. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Chevrolet Suburban 1500 than the BMW because of its larger tank. The BMW fits in smaller parking spaces than the Chevrolet. The BMW X5's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more agile feel in daily traffic than the Chevrolet Suburban 1500.
