X5 is pretty unreliable, freelander 2 is surprisingly reliable but feels a bit cheap inside compared to x5, never had a vitara. I would get a landcruiser lc5 great reliability apart from ****ty leaky aircon pipes, great residual value, much better than your choices. Imo

i had a x5 for a bit, luckily i changed jobs and got a company car, i broke the head light and it cost me a fortune! i was only 26 and was panicking about the rest of the car then!!

Freelander 2 my mu, has and loves it, It barely sees any off road apart from a bit of a gravel track. But its a very nice place to be! its a petrol model but the mpg isnt bad

Depends on your budget but the lexus is a very nice car,

Had a 4.6 IS V8 X5 for nearly 6 years now...stay away from them. I have never owned a more fault prone car, its been off the road as much as its been on ffs.
