You should feel safe in an X5. Not only did the IIHS call the original e53 the safest SUV they have tested, but the safest vehicle they had ever tested at the time. The e70 picks up on this, plus adds significant 15% increases in rigidity over the e53. Also the e70 has been one of their tops picks for years. I didn't see the Range Rover, G class or Denali on that list. Maybe it is the truck based platforms that appeal to you and make you feel safer for some reason?
