Pros Cons of BMW X5

Pros

  • Brilliantly sorted chassis
  • Punchy 3.0-litre inline-six engines
  • A split tailgate that makes loading heavy items simple

Cons

  • Overall, high maintenance costs
  • Top-spec trims get extremely expensive
  • The overreliance on touchscreen controls

Verdict

The BMW X5 remains one of the most thoroughly engineered luxury SUVs currently on the market. It manages to walk a very fine line between providing genuine family practicality and surprisingly sharp driving dynamics. The cabin is an incredibly comfortable place to spend time in, backed up by high-quality touchpoints and fantastic noise insulation.

While the heavy shift towards digital screens might alienate buyers who prefer physical dials, the tech works reliably once you get used to the menu layout. The engines offer superb grunt, whether you choose the frugal diesel or the rev-happy petrol. It doesn't quite have the outright interior space of a Mercedes-Benz GLE, nor the third-row practicality of an Audi Q7, but the X5 feels more engaging from the driver's seat. If you want a luxury family driver that actually rewards you when you push it hard, this is the one that deserves your money.

As Siddharth sums up the vehicle,

“Whether you are navigating congested city streets with its array of sensors or devouring highway miles, the X5 provides absolute peace of mind for both the driver and their family.”
