Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, with comparable head- and legroom. The BMW X5 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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). Clearly, the BMW X5 is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X5 is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the BMW X5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Performance
With the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than with the BMW X5. The BMW X5 has a little less horsepower than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X5 and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
