I recently leased an X5 after having an Audi for many years. We looked at both the Q5 and the Q7, but neither really compare to the X5. The Q5 is smaller and the Q7 bigger. The X5 was the perfect size for us.
BMW's web site quotes the cargo space of the X5 as 75.2 cu ft (with the 2nd row down). The Q5 only has 57.3 cu ft. At over 10" shorter in length, it is clearly not the same size as the X5. Also, even though the X5 35i is a bigger, heavier and more powerful car, it has pretty similar fuel economy, getting 1 less mpg in the city but 2 more on the highway. Pretty impressive.
The Acura MDX is definitely worth taking a look at if you're looking for cargo space... it has a lot more space than the X5, although it's not nearly as much fun to drive as the X5. It is extremely comfortable, loaded with technology, and is much less expensive though.
