The Mazda CX-5 is the better value https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.torquenews.com/4403/30k-miles-later-why-i-m-still-glad-i-switched-bmw-x3-mazda-cx-5/amp

While I agree the CX5 is a great little crossover, it doesn't hold a candle to the X3 or Q5, especially when it comes to overall refinement, performance, and stability. The CX5 has a tin can feel on the highway.
Currently selling my 06 civic. High miles but still a reliable daily driver. AC blows at room temp on hot days.
DMs open for serious inquires.
Sold.
Go Lexus. German engineering is a lie.

The Lexus RX 350 is supremely boring. Underneath some fancy wrapping, it’s a Toyota Highlander - one of the most boring, utilitarian vehicles ever made.
Neither. Get a Tesla!!!

Upgrade to the SQ5 if you want a sportier feel. Loved mine, but ended up trading it in for a larger Q8 instead.

I negotiated similar to CIO on my A4 PP S line. Got it for 23% off MSRP.
Re-test the Q5 with a coffee or water bottle in the cup holder. You’ll buy the BMW. Personally, I broke from both and went Volvo XC60 in Oct.

I am sure they are both great. Which one has all the options you want and is cheaper. That is how I would decide.
GLC 300
Kia Optima. A quarter of the price and double the babes.

Lease a Stelvio, better than both and will be cheaper than the cx5
I have a Steivio - it’s A LOT of fun to drive and have in general, can only recommend
GLC300
Q5!! My mom, myself, and my best friend all drove one. Amazing
But the cup holders are seriously the worst! Everything goes flying.
Benz or Tesla
My husband is a master technician and works on both cars. Go for the BMW.
Lexus RX350 🙌🏻
Also don't forget Acura rdx. Rdx can easily be the best overall package in the segment
Second this one. Test drove a Q5, liked it but couldn’t get price I was okay with. Ended leasing a base model RDX with AWD, absolutely love it. Under $400 payment, and it’s more power than the Q5. Good on gas, plenty of space and all comforts, didn’t opt for the safety package which has the blind spot detection, but it has overall good visibility and it’s a good size.
Bentley Bentayga!
X3. Hands down. Perhaps look at X4 M40i. Mean, beautiful machine. Blows Audi out of the water.
X3 M40i. You will not regret it.
I went with the X1 after seriously considering the X3. Bought a 3 year old model with the 3 liter turbo 6. (N55). Did a stage 2 tune and some suspension work. Pumping out over 400 horses/pounds of torque. Sure, I can't get as much stuff into it compared to an X3...but its a hell of a lot more fun.
