The BMW X5 and the Audi Q7 are two mid-size luxury SUVs introducing mid-cycle refreshes for their 2025 model year, but their starting price gap can make choosing between them more challenging. BMW’s entry-level X5 sDrive40i starts at $65,700 and adds an optional lane-change assist feature, allowing drivers to authorize a vehicle-suggested lane change by turning their eyes toward the matching sideview mirror.
In contrast, Audi’s base Q7, the 45 TFSI Premium starting at $60,500, introduces styling tweaks like grille, headlight, and taillight revisions, expanded exterior colors, upholstery additions, and app compatibility with Spotify and Amazon Music. Determining whether an entry-level 2025 BMW X5 is worth the extra $5,200 over the base 2025 Audi Q7 requires analysis extending beyond new features, so keep reading for key information on these vehicles’ powertrains, styling, luxury, comfort, and practicality.
