My Take: Lease rates aren’t looking very attractive right now for all X-Series models. X5 4.8 has the lowest MF right now. If you want other alternatives, check out the Land Rover Range Rover. Again, I’m not trying to pitch Fords, its just that their rates seem more attractive and they all fall under the same class of vehicles.
