2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The 2026 BMW 5 Series is one of the pillars of the midsize luxury sedan class, thanks to a wide range of talents and tech.

Cons

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

The popular 530i employs a 255-horsepower turbocharged engine, energetic enough to accomplish the sprint from standstill to 60 mph in a lively 5.9 seconds. If all-wheel drive is in the picture, shave off another tenth. The Genesis G80 is in that same ballpark, while the Mercedes-Benz E 350 4Matic is just a couple of tenths behind.
We’re compelled to add that this is perhaps the smoothest 4-cylinder engine we’ve ever encountered, with virtually no vibration. The power delivery is so sweetly linear, it’s a joy to experience. It even turned out to be a little faster than our initial expectations.
BMW says the 540i xDrive can apply its 375 hp to hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That’s only a tenth behind the most powerful BMW Z4 sports car. This happens courtesy of a turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. Most of the time, maximum torque is 384 lb-ft, but a mild hybrid system on board pushes that to 398 lb-ft for short bursts. It also smooths out the fuel-saving engine stop/restart function.
The 550e xDrive is a plug-in hybrid making a total of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, and with the ability to hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.
We’ve always admired and enjoyed the way <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMW’s cars</a> manage to combine an engaging driving experience with refinement and suppleness. The 5 Series is enhanced even further by subtle automatic braking to individual wheels for greater effectiveness through quick corners. Overall, the 5 Series is wonderfully pleasant to drive. If there was a bit more of a wow factor, though, we’d be even happier. We realize this seems odd when talking about a BMW, but here we are.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The rear-drive 530i achieves 31 mpg in combined city/highway driving. All-wheel drive reduces that by just 30 mpg. To compare, the Mercedes-Benz E 350 4Matic manages a still-respectable 27 mpg combined.
The 540i xDrive is rated at 28 mpg combined. The 550e xDrive can cover an impressive 34 miles on battery power alone.
We’re using last year’s figures here, but there shouldn’t be any change for 2026.

Smart Exterior

Exterior

The entire 5 Series exterior styling plays it kind of safe, nothing too radical. We think that’s a smart move by BMW. The optional M Sport package adds larger front air intakes and 19-inch light-alloy wheels. An illuminated grille is also available. Paint choices include one solid finish, 10 metallic treatments, and three special (more expensive) finishes.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Curved Display 
The jewel of the 5 Series’ dashboard, it incorporates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen into one cool, curved unit. This is standard equipment.
iDrive 8.5 
BMW’s infotainment system is enhanced by voice activation, over-the-air updates, phone integration, and Wi-Fi. The most commonly used functions are accessed with the least amount of touchscreen taps. We’d prefer it if there were fewer icons on the home screen, however. Augmented reality for the navigation system is also available.
Automatic Park Assistant 
Every new 5 Series has this as standard. It’s a self-parking system for both parallel and perpendicular spaces. The optional Parking Assistant Plus package adds more features such as a 360-degree camera system and remote real-time viewing using an iPhone app.
AirConsole 
This is a gaming platform. It starts out with around 20 titles, which will be expanded in the future. Players can use their phones as controllers &#8212; while the car is parked, we hasten to add.
Interaction Bar 
An option in combustion-powered versions of the 5 Series, this item is integrated into the dashboard and provides the front passenger with touch controls for various functions. It’s also part of the ambient lighting setup.
Highway Assistant 
This is part of the optional Driving Assistance Professional package, bringing hands-free and feet-free driving in certain conditions. One exciting aspect, in our opinion, is Active Lane Change with eye activation. The system may suggest changing lanes, which the driver can set into motion just by looking at the corresponding side mirror. No need to click the turn signal.

Contemporary Interior

Interior

This latest 5 Series generation brings a few innovations, like the almost-invisible air vents set into the dash and the large one-piece/dual-display feature. Although the standard seats have been designed for optimum comfort and adjustability, the 5 Series also offers multi-contour front seats, which we’ve found to be among the best in any car. And a simulated (and perforated) leather called Veganza comes into the cabin, covering seats, door panels and the steering wheel (which is a good idea, since non-meat-eaters may not relish holding a steering wheel covered in cow skin).
Real leather is available as an option, however. And an optional M Sport package brings a mix of Veganza and Alcantara (a suede-like material). The Panoramic Sky Lounge is another option. It’s a fixed glass panel pretty much the size of the entire roof.
Rear legroom measures 37 inches, somewhere around average for the class. In real life, it’s sufficiently spacious without being remarkable. Trunk area of 18.4 cubic feet eclipses the Genesis G80 and gets close to the generous 19 cubic feet of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. A couple of golf bags will go in easily.

KBB Editors' Overview

Even if the 5 Series isn’t quite the benchmark of its class in the same way that the BMW 3 Series is among compact luxury sedans, we still think it’s something special. It’s wonderfully capable, offers a choice of excellent drivetrains, and there’s plenty of great tech available. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has also given the 5 Series a certain finesse. If there was a 5 Series on our hypothetical driveway, we’d consider ourselves extremely fortunate.

We’re happy enough to recommend the base 530i, with or without all-wheel drive (AWD). It’s a popular choice and we’ve enjoyed driving it.
Looking at the rivals, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/">Mercedes-Benz E-Class</a> (our pick for the class benchmark, by the way) and the new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6/">Audi A6</a> start higher. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/g80/">Genesis G80</a> begins at a lower price, while the also-new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/es/2026/">Lexus ES</a> should be the most affordable of this class.
Before buying a new 5 Series midsize luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are about average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Trims

Under the Hood

The 530i’s engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is the basic setup, all-wheel drive (which BMW calls xDrive) is optional. The Genesis G80 starts out with a little more muscle, but this is more than adequate.
The 540i xDrive has all-wheel drive as standard, as its name implies. It employs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine developing 375 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. A mild hybrid system provides a temporary boost to 398 lb-ft of torque.
The 550e xDrive pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a substantial total output of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This goes to all four wheels.
Every gasoline-powered 5 Series employs an 8-speed automatic transmission.
We cover the high-performance version of the BMW 5 Series, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m5/">M5</a>, in a separate review. There’s an all-electric 5 Series as well, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMW i5</a>, which we also review separately.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW protects its new vehicles and their powertrains for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car makers. The 550e’s hybrid battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. There’s also roadside assistance for the first four years, with unlimited mileage, plus three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of 5 Series has been named a Top Safety Pick by the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a>, the agency’s second-highest accolade. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, and Active Blind Spot Detection with rear cross-traffic alert. Our one gripe here is that adaptive cruise control costs extra in what is already a pricey luxury car.

What's new for 2026

This generation debuted just two model years ago, so there are only a few changes to the 5 Series this time around. The list of paint choices now includes Frozen Portimao Blue metallic, while Dark Violet or Taupe paired with Atlas Grey leather are fresh interior color schemes. And the 550e Drive plug-in hybrid can now charge its battery quicker than before.

The 2025 Lexus RZ is a plush, hushed, well-equipped luxury compact electric SUV with plenty of standard features and tech.

<ul>
<li>Range could be better</li>
</ul>

The RZ 300e is the starting model, sporting a single front-mounted electric motor driving the front wheels with 201 horsepower. The RZ 450e adds a second, rear-mounted electric motor and all-wheel drive (AWD), increasing output to 308 hp.
Both models have a composed suspension, with responsive steering and natural brake feel. The RZ 450e’s five-second zero-to-60-mph time is brisk, and its all-wheel drive gives sure-footed traction. The RZ 300e accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in about 7.4 seconds — still quick enough for most people, and about on par with the combustion-powered Lexus RX.
Range and Charging
The RZ 300e has an EPA rating of up to 266 miles with 18-inch wheels or 224 miles with optional 20-inch wheels. The more powerful RZ 450e achieves 220 miles with the 18-inch wheels or 196 miles with 20-inch wheels.
Onboard charging with the RZ is limited to 240-volt Level 2 charging, refilling the battery in about 9.5 hours. Fortunately, the RZ is also capable of DC fast charging, replenishing the RZ 300e’s battery to 80% in about 35 minutes, or the RZ 450e’s in about 30 minutes. The RZ employs a CCS1 charging connector for DC charging.

Bumper to bumper, the RZ is a modern Lexus design with crisp angles, flowing surfaces, and bold details. The company&#8217;s distonct spindle grille is inverted into a smooth, aerodynamic form at the nose, while the rear’s muscular fender haunches blend seamlessly into the tail.
The RZ is not especially large, despite all that interior space. It’s a bit shorter than the gas-powered RX, and about the same size as the Model Y. The GV60 and EX40 are a bit shorter overall.

Wireless phone integration 
Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless in the RZ, as is phone charging. If you prefer to plug in, there are five USB-C ports. For passengers, there’s also Wi-Fi.
Frequency Reactive Dampers 
These computer-controlled dampers absorb and diffuse the worst of the road’s imperfections while also providing great stability. The RZ is the first Lexus to get this advanced technology.
Mark Levinson audio 
Even if you don’t identify as an audiophile, you’ll appreciate the crisp highs and deep bass of this optional audio upgrade. With 13 speakers and 1,800 watts of surround-sound power, this one is worth the extra money.
Advanced Park 
This self-parking system controls the steering, throttle, and brakes to maneuver into or out of tight or tricky parking spaces.
Panoramic View monitor 
This system, standard in the Premium and Luxury trims of the RZ 300e and RZ 450e, uses cameras to provide a 360-degree view of your surroundings. It is perfect for avoiding obstacles or making sure pets and/or kids are clear of the vehicle.
Infotainment system 
The 14-inch screen no longer qualifies as “big” in a world of dash-spanning monoliths, but it’s plenty spacious and clear for interacting with Lexus’ easy-to-use infotainment system. If you prefer, you can control many of the vehicle’s functions through voice commands.

Comfortable and Spacious Interior

The RZ’s 5-seat cabin is a familiar place if you’ve driven other modern Lexus vehicles, and that’s a good thing. The materials are rich and textured as well as visually pleasing, and the controls feel solid and substantial. The front seats are comfortable and spacious, although some of us have noted the seating position feels a bit higher than normal.
This year’s new addition to the RZ range, the base model, makes its cost savings by doing without some of the more opulent elements of the higher trims while retaining the core luxury staples. For instance, the base models of the 300e and 450e don’t offer any form of ambient lighting, while the Premium and Luxury trims offer increasingly complex lighting themes. On the other hand, the base model uses the same NuLuxe-trimmed  (simulated leather) upholstery as the Premium trim, and all three trims have the same 8-way power-adjustable front seats.
The RZ has a good balance between size and space. The second row offers 37.5 inches of legroom, about the same as the GV60 and EX40 but a bit less than the Model Y. The RZ’s cargo area is the largest of the group, however, with 34.9 cubic feet behind the second row. That’s about five to 10 cubic feet more than most of the competition, and more than double the EX40’s 16 cubic feet.

The Lexus RZ’s all-electric nature suits Lexus’ whisper-quiet cabins and plush accommodations to perfection, making the most of its quiet drivetrain and supple ride. That’s not to say the RZ isn’t also athletic, with both powertrain variants capable of brisk acceleration. Maximum range is 266 miles, which is plenty for most folks, but not as much as some might want for regular road-trip usage, especially if you’re only charging to 80% for battery longevity. Still, the RZ’s range handily exceeds most people’s daily commuting requirements, and it can be fast-charged to 80% in about 30 minutes or charged overnight at home.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-suvs/">electric luxury SUVs</a>, including the Lexus RZ.

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/2025/">Tesla’s Model Y</a>, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/gv60/">Genesis GV60</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex40/">Volvo EX40</a> (previously known as the XC40 Recharge) are the closest natural competitors to the Lexus RZ, offering functions and features at similar prices. The Model Y is on the less expensive end of the price spectrum, but it’s also the least luxurious in terms of accommodations and features, starting around $47,000. The GV60 and EX40 both start around $54,000, while the Lexus RZ undercuts them all by a fair margin, starting around $44,000 in the new-for-2025 base trim on the 300e model. Even stepping up to the midlevel RZ 300e Premium or opting for the base 450e only takes the price up to about $48,000. This makes the Lexus RZ a comparative value in the compact luxury electric SUV class.
Before buying a new Lexus RZ, be sure to check our Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what you should be paying. The Lexus RZ isn’t old enough to have great resale value data, but after just a couple of years of sales, it’s showing better resale value than either the luxury compact SUV segment or the EV market as a whole. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Outstanding quality</li>
<li>Refined driving character</li>
<li>Excellent technology</li>
</ul>

Battery & Efficiency

Thanks to their different output levels and packaging requirements, the two RZ models deploy slightly different battery packs. The RZ 300e uses a 72.8-kWh unit, while the 450e comes with a slightly smaller 71.4-kWh counterpart. Both variants are extremely efficient, offering up to 125 MPGe in 300e form and 107 MPGe in 450e guise. In both cases, the greatest efficiency is achieved with 18-inch wheels. Those MPGe figures are at the top of the class, tying the Tesla Model Y’s best.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
The basic Lexus new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first, a typical span among luxury vehicles. Powertrains are covered for six years or 70,000 miles, which is better than most European competitors. The battery is covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Safety Ratings
The RZ has previously been awarded the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>), and the 2025 RZ earns a 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/">NHTSA</a>). A comprehensive array of safety technology is standard in the RZ.

What's new for

The Lexus RZ was introduced as a single model for 2023, and last year it gained the RZ 300e to complement the range-topping RX 450e. This year, the RZ gains an entry-level trim for both variants, bringing the tally up to three trims each: Standard, Premium, and Luxury.

2025Volvo XC90

2025Volvo XC90 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Volvo XC90 gets a revamp this year, with a freshened exterior and updated interior to help keep it near the front of the midsize 3-row luxury SUV class.

We haven&#8217;t yet driven this latest iteration of the XC90, but we expect it to drive much like the previous model thanks to the shared core architecture and powertrains.
The XC90 B5 makes 247 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and in driving the previous model, we&#8217;ve found there’s plenty of pep for freeway merges and all the usual day-to-day stuff, but it lacks the punch some might prefer in a luxury SUV. The midlevel B6 ups the power to a more interesting level, with 295 hp, thanks to the addition of more forced induction. At the top of the lineup is the XC90 T8, making 455 hp and hitting 60 mph in a brisk five seconds.
Regardless of variant, we expect the XC90 will continue to favor comfort over outright performance. We think that’s exactly the way it should be with a family SUV.
Relative to the competition, the XC90 offers a good mix of power and value. Fans of high-value, fun-driving family vehicles should also consider the 290-hp Acura MDX or the 300-hp Genesis GV80.
Fuel Economy
All three 2025 Volvo XC90 powertrains have all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard. The entry point is the B5, with a turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a mild hybrid system for 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The midgrade XC90 B6 adds a supercharger to the B5’s setup for more power and 23 mpg combined. Finally, the T8 pairs the turbocharged 4-cylinder with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system to achieve 33 miles of all-electric range and the equivalent of 58 mpg combined.
All in all, the XC90 gets good gas mileage for its class. Comparing base models, the XC90’s 26 mpg beats the GV80 and the MDX (both 21 mpg combined), and even the BMW X5 xDrive40i (25 mpg combined). Most of the remaining rivals sit between these bookends.

Subtly Modified Exterior

Although it’s been updated for 2025, you’d be forgiven for not being able to tell at first glance — the changes are subtle. But considering how arguably good-looking the XC90 remains even now, nearly a decade on from its launch, Volvo is demonstrating a brilliant “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” strategy.

Updated infotainment software 
The 12.3-inch driver information display and 11.2-inch center screen have been updated to Volvo’s latest interface, making the most of this Google-based infotainment system.
Refreshed interior 
The XC90’s premium materials and subtle color palette make for one of the most compelling and comfortable cabins in this class.
Advanced safety systems 
From the Pilot Assist steering guidance and speed control system to the blind-spot, pedestrian, cross-traffic, and reverse detection systems, the XC90 puts a premium on keeping its occupants safe.
Adaptive air suspension 
While many premium SUV makers use an adaptive air suspension to deliver varying levels of (often too-stiff) performance, the XC90’s adaptive air suspension is focused on comfort while maintaining composure.
Abundant technology 
The XC90&#8217;s tech menu includes wireless phone charging, a host of USB and 12-volt ports, Apple CarPlay, a head-up display, and a premium Bowers &amp; Wilkins audio system.
T8 PHEV 
Whether you prioritize the 33-mile all-electric range, or 455 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque, the XC90 T8’s plug-in hybrid drivetrain is both practical and fun.
&nbsp;

Refreshed Interior

The larger central touchscreen and redesigned dashboard layout help bring the XC90 in line with the new EX30 and EX90 electric SUVs, and the updated software brings a host of fresh features and apps. This tech can also be expanded further after purchase thanks to over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Other new interior features include additional storage space in the center console, an additional cup holder, and a relocated wireless charging pad. Updated lighting, air vents, and decorative panels add to the revamped look.
Front-row comfort is great, with plenty of legroom and headroom for most. The second row is roomy but not expansive, with 37 inches of legroom in both the 6-seat and 7-seat configurations. All models have 31.9 inches of legroom in the third row, which makes it a good option for kids but a temporary solution at best for taller teens and adults.

The 2025 Volvo XC90’s updates play to its strengths — it was already a refined and good-looking (in our eyes) luxury SUV. Now it’s even more so, with a dash of upgraded technology. The XC90 seats six or seven in its upscale cabin, with comfortable seats, especially in the first two rows. High-end audio, premium materials, and cool Scandinavian design enhance the XC90’s appeal even further.
On top of that, the XC90 gets excellent safety ratings, making it a great choice for family transport.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating the current group of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-mid-size-suvs/">midsize luxury SUVs</a>, including the Volvo XC90.

The 2025 Volvo XC90 competes with vehicles like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q7/">Audi Q7</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/acura/mdx/">Acura MDX</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/x5/">BMW X5</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cadillac/xt6/">Cadillac XT6</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/gv80/">Genesis GV80</a>, <a href="http://kbb.com/lexus/tx/">Lexus TX</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lincoln/aviator/">Lincoln Aviator</a>. About half of those competitors start a few thousand dollars below the XC90 (MDX, XT6, Lexus TX), and the rest are about the same price or a few thousand more. That puts the XC90 right near the middle of a highly competitive field.
The XC90’s resale value is a bit below average for the segment, however. Be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase price to see what you should be paying. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2025 XC90 offers a choice of three powertrains: The base B5 and midrange B6 are both mild hybrids, while the top-spec T8 is a plug-in hybrid. All three use an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The B5 employs a 247-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 258 lb-ft of torque. Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 pounds.
The B6 uses a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit rated for 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The B6 can tow up to 6,000 pounds.
Finally, there’s the XC90 T8, a PHEV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that develops 455 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque. The XC90 T8 can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
Volvo’s vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first, and include roadside assistance, a typical arrangement for luxury marques. The first three scheduled services are free, up to three years or 36,000 miles. Hybrid batteries are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles, as required by federal law.
Safety Ratings
The Volvo XC90 has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>) and earned the maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>).

The 2025 Volvo XC90’s updates don’t amount to an all-new vehicle, as the same core architecture and powertrains are in this new model. However, the new XC90’s exterior has been updated, the interior has been redesigned to echo the new EX30 and EX90 electric SUVs, and the digital user experience has been upgraded to match those new EVs as well. The central touchscreen is now larger (11.2 inches) and higher-resolution (21% greater pixel density), and there are new interior trim choices.

2025Lexus GX

2025Lexus GX Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Lexus GX is a midsize luxury SUV with a rare combination of real off-road capability and high-end luxury features.

Power, Ride, and Handling

Despite being a truck-based, body-on-frame SUV, the 2025 Lexus GX has a composed and crisp driving demeanor. The brakes and steering are responsive, yet it’s also comfortable and compliant, as expected of an off-roader. Despite the day-to-day ease of driving and maneuvering, especially compared with the previous generations, this GX remains decidedly rugged and not car-like.
The 349-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V6 is potent, and a massive 479 lb-ft of torque helps accelerate the GX from a standstill to 60 mph in an athletic 6.5 seconds. That much power and acceleration mean zero issues when making a fast freeway merge, and all that torque helps the GX conquer surprisingly steep gradients. The even more capable Overtrail and Overtrail+ models get an extra inch of ride height for 2025, enabling excursions further into the wild.
Fuel Economy
The GX’s fuel economy isn’t great — about the same as a Chevrolet Suburban — but it’s not wildly off-target among off-road-focused luxury SUVs. At 17 mpg combined, the GX 550 fits between the combined ratings of the Mercedes-Benz G550 (18 mpg) and the Land Rover Defender 110 (16 mpg).
Even compared to something like the efficiency-focused plug-in hybrid BMW X5 xDrive50e, it’s not all doom and gloom for the GX. Once the X5 PHEV’s batteries are depleted, it gets just 22 mpg combined. Options like the Audi Q7 (20 mpg) and Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic (21 mpg) achieve noticeably better gas mileage at the expense of much less off-road ability.

Heroic Exterior

Like a futuristic movie’s hero vehicle, the 2025 Lexus GX’s rugged, carved-from-a-block-of-silicon styling is eye-catching. From the iconic spindle grille to the bluff rear and its wide LED light bar, the overall effect is one of rugged elegance.

Traffic Jam Assist 
Taking over the steering, throttle, and braking — in the right conditions — this feature basically drives itself in stop-and-go traffic. It’s a welcome feature for anyone who deals with traffic regularly.
Overtrail trims 
The Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims of the GX add real off-road extras like a limited-slip locking center differential, larger all-terrain tires, detachable front and rear stabilizer bars, and a host of off-road electronic aids. For 2025, they also gain an extra inch of ground clearance.
Proactive Driving Assist 
Rather than a self-driving system, Lexus’ Proactive Driving Assist takes a subtler approach, gently adjusting steering and speed in anticipation of corners, other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Basically, it takes some of the cognitive load off the driver’s shoulders.
Dynamic Sky roof 
Opt for the top-of-the-line GX 550 Luxury+, and this massive panoramic glass roof is included. Its defining magic trick is switching from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
21-speaker surround-sound 
Mark Levinson audio systems are always excellent, and this 21-speaker surround-sound example underlines that reputation.
Phone as a key 
Who wants to carry a bulky key fob if they don’t have to? If you’re like most Americans, your phone is rarely out of reach, so using an app to make it work like a key is a no-brainer for convenience. As a bonus, you can send digital keys to friends or family if you need to.

Capable Interior

Bold, high-tech, and ruggedly luxurious, the GX’s cabin is one of our favorites. Contrasting with its more avant-garde exterior, the GX’s interior is more conventional and businesslike.
Three-row seating for up to seven occupants (except in 2-row-only, 5-seat Overtrail trims) is spacious and comfortable until you get to the third row, which is a bit short on legroom (31.9 inches) and other space. It’s fine for occasional use, but those who regularly need a third row will be better served by a vehicle like the Lexus TX. Second-row legroom is also fair at 36.7 inches, an inch less than the BMW X5 and more than four inches less than the Mercedes-Benz GLE.
Cargo room is good for the class, with 10.3 cubic feet behind the third row, or 40.2 cubic feet behind the second row with the third row folded, or 45.6 cubic feet in Overtrail models that skip the third row. For comparison, the Land Rover Defender 110 offers 34 cubic feet behind its second row, and the BMW X5 has 33.9 cubic feet.

Other midsize luxury SUVs offer impressive luxury and good off-road performance, but the truck-based architecture that underpins the Lexus GX sets it apart from the midsize field. Add to that its 7-occupant capacity, Lexus-grade cabin materials and design, a host of modern tech, and a muscular turbocharged engine, and you have a recipe for a truly impressive machine. As an eminently civilized way to explore completely uncivilized territory, the Lexus GX is hard to beat.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-mid-size-suvs/">midsize luxury SUVs</a>, including the Lexus GX.

The 2025 GX starts in the mid-$60,000 region and runs up through to the mid-$80,000 bracket. That gives it a similar range to its nearest natural competitor, the equally luxurious and off-road-capable <a href="https://www.kbb.com/land-rover/defender-110/">2025 Land Rover Defender 110</a> &#8212; up to a point, anyway. The Defender carries on into the $170,000 area, thanks to its high-performance V8 and Octa variants. Likewise, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/g-class/">Mercedes-Benz G-Class</a> starts around $150,000 and heads upward from there. Compared with more typical luxury SUVs, the GX’s pricing is about on par with the likes of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q7/">Audi Q7</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/x5/2025/">BMW X5</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/gle/">Mercedes-Benz GLE</a>.
Before buying a new Lexus GX midsize luxury SUV, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Previous generations of the Lexus GX have held their value well, and we expect the same of this latest version. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

</ul>

The 2025 GX 550 employs a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 making 349 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque in all trims and variants. All four wheels are driven with standard 4-wheel drive (4WD) via a 10-speed automatic transmission. The GX can tow up to 8,000 pounds.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
Like many other luxury models, the Lexus GX’s basic warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. At six years or 70,000 miles, the powertrain warranty is better than most luxury rivals. Lexus also includes complimentary maintenance for the first year or 10,000 miles.
Safety
The previous Lexus GX earned a 4-Star overall safety rating (out of five stars) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). We expect the new model to do as well or better. Every GX includes Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, which bundles features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, all-speed adaptive cruise control, lane-tracing assistance, lane departure warning with steering assistance, road-sign recognition, and more.

The Lexus GX was all-new for the 2024 model year and mostly carries forward for 2025 with just a couple of minor feature updates. The Lexus Memory System — which stores driver&#8217;s seat, side mirror, and steering column settings — is now standard on all GX trims, as is a tilting/telescoping steering column. Overtrail and Overtrail+ models also receive a standard one-inch suspension lift.

2025Tesla Model X

2025Tesla Model X Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Tesla Model X remains one of the most capable electric luxury SUVs, with long range, punchy performance, and advanced tech.

<ul>
<li>Third row is small</li>
<li>No Apple or Android integration</li>
<li>Build quality, service</li>
</ul>

The two variants available at present are the base Model X and the Model X Plaid. Leveraging the timeless humor of the 1987 movie Spaceballs, the Plaid represents Tesla’s most potent trim spec, capable of accelerating from zero to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The base Model X is still quick, making good use of its dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) to run from a standstill to 60 mph in only 3.8 seconds. The fun of instant-on torque in an electric vehicle (EV) is immediately apparent in either version.
Riding on an adaptive suspension, the Model X is perfectly capable of handling that acceleration. Its low center of gravity (thanks to the floor-mounted battery) means cornering involves relatively little body roll. This also contributes to a quiet, smooth ride.
Although few Model X owners choose to, the vehicle is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds.
Range and Charging
One of the headline features of Tesla vehicles over the past decade has been the availability of free access and use of the Tesla Supercharger network. While that’s still available for the Model X for the time being, Tesla is set to end that free access soon and start charging. Although when “soon” will be is anybody’s guess. While it lasts, however, free access to the massive Supercharger network is a definite advantage.
Regardless, the Model X offers lots of range and capability. While official 2025 EPA figures aren’t yet out for the base Model X, it is expected to carry over last year’s maximum range rating of 335 miles. Impressive, to be sure, but eclipsed by the likes of the Rivian R1S (380 miles) and Lucid Gravity (around 450 miles). Still, the Model X offers more range than the Q8 e-tron (272 miles), EQS SUV (323 miles), and the EX90 (300 miles).
The Model X charges impressively quickly, regaining 80% of its charge in about 30 to 40 minutes when using a 250-kilowatt charger. The Model X’s rivals are also capable of similar figures.

Egg-Shaped Exterior

The familiar Tesla profile remains undisturbed in the latest Model X. With nearly a decade under its belt, you might think the design would be aging, but the relentless pursuit of efficiency means designs tend to converge back to the streamlined egg shape that underpins the Model X’s core lines. There have been some issues with the Model X’s body quality, especially concerning door gaps on the tricky Falcon Wing rear doors. Owners have also complained of uneven panel gaps elsewhere, and paint flaws.

Impressive range 
The Model X’s range, even in its highest-performance guise, is still as good as, or better than, most of its competition. Although there are finally a few newcomers to challenge Tesla’s dominance.
Semi-autonomous tech 
While it’s not the fully hands-off self-driving system that’s been promised for a decade, Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) are useful partially autonomous driving features that help reduce the strain of longer trips or stop-and-go commutes.
Supercharger network 
Even though you’re unlikely to drive your car overseas, just knowing a global Supercharger network of over 50,000 chargers is out there waiting for you can be comforting. Unfortunately, the Model X will soon lose free access to the network.
Available 3-row seating 
It’s a smaller third row best reserved for occasional use, but it’s a great option to have for those times when you do need it. Also, opting for a third row opens up the availability of second-row captain’s chairs, which can improve comfort as well as accessibility.
Falcon Wing doors 
Unique and visually striking, these upward-opening doors help make it easier to get in and out without worrying about dinging them on nearby vehicles or garage walls, provided there’s enough overhead clearance to allow the doors to open.
Simple interior 
While the 17-inch central touchscreen once dwarfed competitive offerings, the industry has caught up and surpassed Tesla in display size. Tesla, however, has held on to a simple, uncluttered cabin design that’s still a standout in the industry.

Versatile Interior

With five seats as standard equipment and six or seven seats available (depending on whether you choose second-row captain’s chairs or a second-row bench), the Model X is a flexible platform for a wide variety of uses and family types. If you don’t need the seventh seat, we recommend the second-row captain’s chairs on 3-row models, because they make access to the third row a lot easier.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, one of the most interesting available features is the “yoke” steering wheel, modeled on the shape of an airplane’s yoke. While it was the standard steering wheel for a while, it has become a $1,000 option, with the familiar round steering wheel now standard equipment.
The other main interaction surface for the driver and front passenger is a 17-inch touchscreen, as there are no other major controls. The infotainment system and vehicle settings are easy enough to use, but it’s worth noting that there’s no support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto phone integration. There is, however, a wide wireless charging pad for devices.
Space in the cabin is good, with a roomy front row and either 38.7 inches of second-row legroom with the bench seat or 39.8 inches with the second-row captain’s chairs. That’s on par with the luxury electric SUV alternatives from Audi and BMW, but a couple of inches less than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. There’s up to 92 cubic feet of cargo space as well, depending on the seating configuration chosen. That compares well to the BMW iX and Rivian R1S, and is a fair bit more than the EQS or Q8.

The Tesla Model X has been on the market since 2015. During that time, it has evolved, gained new features, and increased range and performance. Now it is available with a yoke-style steering wheel, can accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, and offers up to 329 miles of range. Of course, it still has its Falcon Wing rear doors and optional 3-row seating. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/">Tesla</a> brand has faced some public relations struggles of late, as well as issues with inconsistent build quality and difficulties with service. Yet customers still express a high degree of satisfaction, according to our owner reviews.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-suvs/">luxury electric SUVs</a>.

The Tesla Model X’s nearest rivals include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q8-e-tron/">Audi Q8 e-tron</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs-suv/">Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/ix/2025/">BMW iX</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lucid/gravity/2025/">Lucid Gravity</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1s/">Rivian R1S</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex90/">Volvo EX90</a>. Aside from the more expensive Gravity and EQS (both around $100K), most of these alternatives start within a few thousand of the Model X, and most offer similar space, range, and features for the money.
Before buying a new Model X luxury electric SUV, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Pricing to see what you should be paying. Keep a wary eye on resale values, as they may not be as strong as they once were. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Plenty of range</li>
<li>Available advanced tech</li>
<li>Strong acceleration</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>No significant changes</li>
</ul>

Battery and Efficiency

Both the standard Model X and the Plaid employ a 100-kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive. In the standard Model X, that should be good for up to 335 miles of range, while the Plaid manages 314 miles. Both models are highly efficient, earning ratings of 100 MPGe and 94 MPGe, respectively. That’s notably better than the likes of the Volvo EX90 (81 MPGe), Audi Q8 e-tron (78 MPGe), and Rivian R1S (80 MPGe).
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
Tesla’s basic new-car warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among luxury cars. The battery in the Model X is covered for eight years or 150,000 miles. Our consumer reviews and other owner reports indicate the reliability and maintenance costs of Tesla models have been a mixed bag. Owners have also reported long wait times at service centers and/or poor parts availability. If you live in an area with many Tesla cars on the road but only a few service stations, you could encounter some trouble when your Model X needs service.
Safety
The Tesla Model X was last crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) in 2021, but it received a 5-star overall safety rating back then. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/">IIHS</a>) hasn’t crash-tested the Model X.

Because Tesla doesn’t really do model years like the rest of the industry, the idea of a “2025 Tesla Model X” is a structure imposed on it from the outside. That said, Tesla hasn’t made any significant changes to the Model X for this year.

2025 Tesla Model X Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

2025Tesla Model Y

2025Tesla Model Y Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Tesla Model Y continues to be a best-selling EV despite some headwinds, thanks to its balance of range and technology at a reasonable price.

<ul>
<li>No Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</li>
<li>Hit-and-miss build quality</li>
</ul>

The 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range offers a choice of rear-wheel drive (RWD) or dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD). The rear-wheel-drive model is a touch slower to accelerate at 5.4 seconds to 60 mph compared to the all-wheel-drive version’s 4.8 seconds, but it gains 26 miles more range. The previous Performance model isn’t yet offered on the manufacturer’s website, but we expect it will become available later in the model year, offering similar performance to last year’s 3.5-second zero-to-60-mph time.
Whether rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, there&#8217;s instant-on electric torque at just about any speed — one of the characteristics that make EVs so fun to drive. The Model Y makes good use of the thrust, with confident steering and braking, although some of our consumer reviews have noted a choppy ride quality and noisy cabins.
Regarding self-driving features, the Model Y offers the standard Autopilot as well as Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Standard Autopilot is much like the standard active safety systems from other automakers. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) makes extended bouts of hands-free driving possible, like GM’s Super Cruise, Ford’s BlueCruise, or Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The 2025 Tesla Model Y is available as Long Range All-Wheel Drive, Long Range All-Wheel Drive, and Performance All-Wheel Drive models. The best range comes with the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which is capable of 337 miles per the EPA. The Long Range All-Wheel Drive achieves 311 miles of range, and the Performance All-Wheel Drive is rated at 277 miles.
Those figures all compare well with the competition. The Ford Mustang Mach-E, for example, is rated for 320 miles in rear-drive/extended-battery form, and the Ioniq 5 rear-wheel drive scores 318 miles of range.
Naturally, the Model Y makes great use of Tesla’s Supercharger network, and it can charge to 80% in less than 20 minutes. The Mustang Mach-E matches the 20-minute charge to 80%, while the Ioniq 5 manages the same feat in 18 minutes on a 350-kW fast charger.
&nbsp;

Cybertruck-Inspired Exterior

With thin, Cybertruck-inspired lighting at each end and exterior design tweaks aimed at improving range and efficiency, the 2025 Model Y looks simultaneously familiar and fresh. The egg-like profile is a factor in passenger space warring with aerodynamics, helping to keep the Model Y at the front of its class in terms of range and efficiency. Gone are the previous 21-inch wheel options, replaced with a 19-inch wheel and tire package for enhanced quietness and comfort. Some may prefer the look of the larger wheels on previous models, but it’s those models that were most likely to get complaints from owners.

Lots of range 
Tesla claims a maximum of 357 miles of range on its website, but the EPA says that’s closer to 337 miles. Either way, that’s a lot of range for the money, and we like that.
Big screen 
Tesla’s 15-inch screen isn’t as massive as the dash-spanning units in some other SUVs, but it’s still plenty big to see and access information.
Sentry Mode 
Even when parked and turned off, the Model Y still has the ability to use its cameras to capture any incidents that may happen to or near the vehicle. An optional Live Camera feature even lets you check in on your car remotely, flash the lights, honk the horn, or speak through the car’s audio system.
Hands-free driving 
The standard Autopilot system offers the active safety assists we’ve come to expect in modern vehicles, while the optional Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system offers hands-free cruising in a range of environments, including city streets.
Acceleration 
Although the even-quicker Performance model isn’t yet on the table for 2025, the dual-motor Long Range All-Wheel Drive model generates impressive thrust, and even the RWD model is quick enough to be fun.
Quieter ride 
The comfort- and quietness-focused upgrades to the 2025 Model Y address one of its previous weak points: cabin noise. A smaller wheel and tire package, together with other upgrades, also help reduce noise entering the cabin.

Upgraded Interior

Tesla’s interiors have always been known for their simple (some might say overly simple) designs and layouts. The 2025 Model Y doesn’t change that aesthetic, but does update it with new materials. Tesla has also taken pains to improve quietness for 2025, with an updated wheel and tire package design to reduce noise.
The 2025 Model Y also adds the option of rear-seat displays and ventilated front seats. The power-recline second-row seats fold flat to leave 76 cubic feet of storage space — considerably more than most of its competitors. To compare, the Mustang Mach-E offers 59.7 cubic feet, while the Ioniq 5 has 59.3 cubic feet.
Seating for five is currently the only arrangement in the 2025 Model Y. The formerly optional third row brought that tally up to seven. Third-row legroom was short (just 26.5 inches), but the second row’s 41.6 inches matches the 2025 Honda CR-V, so perhaps it makes sense to drop the third-row offering.

Whatever the boss of the company might be up to, the Tesla Model Y remains one of the longest-range electric SUVs on the market, particularly in its class. The competition is continually getting better, however, and our readers have indicated that the Model Y continues to face build quality issues. So it makes sense that Tesla would feel the need to enhance the Model Y for 2025 to keep it at the front of the pack.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-suvs/">electric SUVs</a>, including the Tesla Model Y.

The 2025 Tesla Model Y is priced competitively with electric SUVs of similar size and capability. The Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are the most directly applicable, although the Tesla has substantially more range in its base version than either of those rivals.
Before buying a new Model Y electric SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying.
