2021 Range Rover Sport vs. 2021 BMW X5: Unique and Exclusive

The 2021 Range Rover Sport is a unique luxury SUV that delivers the best in terms of power, luxury and capabilities. It perfectly pairs its renowned Ranger Rover off-road capabilities with a copious dose of versatility and interior technologies that will take your family anywhere.

Here, we compare the 2021 Range Rover Sport with the BMW X5.

More power and choice under the hood of the 2021 Range Rover Sport

The 2021 Range Rover Sport deploys one of the best varieties of powerplants in the business. For example, the P400e hybrid engine delivers 398 hp thanks to a powerful four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine combined to a state-of-the-art electric propulsion system.

There’s also the mighty TD6 diesel engine, a six-cylinder 3.0-litre powerplant that delivers a pavement-gripping 443 lb-ft of torque. The Range Rover Sport also offers mild hybrid technologies with the P360 and P400 powerplants. These units output 355 hp and 395 hp respectively and use a six-cylinder engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system.

The BMW X5 only has a 335-hp engine in its base xDrive40i model. BMW also has a plug-in hybrid model, but it only delivers 389 horsepower, which is less than the Range Rover Sport’s PHEV option.

The M50i model of the X5 lineup delivers 523 horsepower, but that is still under what you can get with the 5.0-litre eight-cylinder supercharged engine with its 567 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in the SVR models.

The 2021 Range Rover Sport is more advanced than the BMW X5

The 2021 Range Rover Sport delivers more handling capabilities thanks to the available Adaptive Dynamics which monitors vehicle movements up to 500 times a second, responding to your inputs and to road conditions in order to provide optimal driving dynamics.

It also features the Terrain Response system which optimizes the engine, gearbox, differentials and chassis. Optional Terrain Response 2 even includes a Rock Crawl Mode.

The Range Rover Sport also features more innovative technologies than the BMW X5. For example, drivers can take advantage of the available Land Rover Activity Key. This unique feature is a robust, fully waterproof wristband that will replace the key fob when you’re out on the water, or climbing a mountain!
