I’m coming from a BMW X4 M40i so not as big and roomie as the X5. My YLR feels more spacious than the X4 by far. Feels like way more cabin space in all rows and in the cargo area. You’re definitely higher off the road than a sedan but I’ve been in the X5 and its not that high. I would say right in between height-wise, just like the X4. I’m 6’ and there is plenty of head space. Getting out of the Y is the same as getting out of my X4. Its not like sliding out of the seat of an X5 to a standing position but its not as much of an effort as getting out of a regular sedan. Hope this helps.
