The fourth-gen BMW X5 might sport an evolutionary design but its tight skinning, angular headlights and, of course, that large, single-piece grille help establish it as the latest in the line. On the inside, you see the best of BMW. The cabin is beautifully finished and there’s a whole lot of tech too. The dashboard is also very user-friendly but we aren’t fans of the layout of the all-digital dials. Front seat comfort is really good and drivers will also be happy with the view out. There’s loads of space in the back but the non-adjustable backrest is a tad upright and this can be a bother for some. Luggage space is excellent.
The 3.0-litre, six-cylinder diesel engine-powered X5 30d is the mainstay of the range. With 265hp and 620Nm, the diesel engine is big on power and punch. So much so that you’ll be surprised by how brisk the 2-tonne X5 is. What’s more, engine refinement is really good too. Petrolheads are sure to be well served by the X5 40i that features a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine. The engine makes 340hp and 450Nm.
The latest BMW X5 is not as sharp in the corners as earlier models but still few SUVs of this size feel as sporty. Models with air suspension deliver a plush ride at low speeds and you always have the option to adjust the settings to your liking. Handily, ride height is adjustable too.

The new X5 has grown larger, in both size and the breadth of its abilities. But then it also comes at a hefty price.
