Of all the X5m competitors which do you think is most comfortable?

Test drove the X5m today and instantly loved it to death. But not totally sure about the comfort for family use. Kind of 50-50 right now.

But it got me thinking, of all the similar competitors (high pert versions of suvs e.g. Gle63, sq5 etc etc) which do you think is most comfortable ignoring all other factors?

Most interested in real world experiences and not just the reputation of the car. For example RRS has a reputation for comfort but I found the X5m to be much more comfortable. Go figure

Thanks!

I had a GLE 43 before my X5M and surprisingly the the X5M is way more comfortable handles way better and of course is faster by far.

The handling and speed I knew was an automatic win for the bimmer but I didn't have a clue that it would out comfort the GLE at all.

You may want to text drive an Audi Q7. I had a friend beat the hell out of one on the autobahn and get back sold on the overall performance and handling.

Thanks. I actually have one right now and really love it. Can't say anything bad about it. One of the best I've ever owned.

Problem is I don't put it into the performance category like the X5m. It's just too big and lumborous. Mine has the full dynamic air suspension and even on dynamic mode there is no comparison to the X5m even in comfort mode. And it to mention the engine

I've had a ML63, X5M and now a Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne easily rides the best of the three. They are all capable. The Merc sounds the best but I really didn't like it. Loved my X5M and probably would have gotten another one if the new model was out. Love my Cayenne Turbo but it's expensive relatively speaking.

Is the service more costly or do you mean the initial cost at almost 50% higher?
