The model
Read full BMW X5 reviewAll X5s are smooth, classy and luxurious SUVs. It's not quite as practical as the most spacious rivals out there but it's good enough where it counts, and where it really impresses is the quality of its lavish interior and superb infotainment system. The xDrive50e is one of the most impressive plug-in hybrids around.
The trim
See full equipmentOur favourite trim shares a lot of the same equipment as the entry-level trim but adds a sportier exterior design, bigger 20in alloy wheels and gives you access to our pick of the engines, the xDrive50e.
The engine
See full engine specsThis diesel engine gives you a 294bhp 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine to play with. It’s a strong engine, pulling effortlessly from low rev, even when towing, and sprinting from 0-62mph in 6.1sec. That’s about a second faster than the equivalent Audi Q7 45 TDI. It’s efficient, too, officially managing around 40mpg.
