Meet the all-new BMW X5!
Mat’s got his hands on BMW’s latest family-friendly SUV to find out if it’s the perfect all-rounder, and to do that, he’s going to give it a proper Carwow reviewing! So let’s get into it…
Starting with the design, there are a couple of notable changes on the outside compared to the latest edition. Around the back, you’ve got new tail light designs and an updated bumper, while along the side there are new alloy wheel designs, and in the M Sport edition we have here you’ll also find black surrounds on the windows, coupled with black roof bars. Around the front, it’s similar to the rear, with new headlights and an updated front bumper. Couple these changes with the hard-edged creases along the side, and we think the X5 is a proper good-looking car!
Step inside and it’s a traditional BMW, with soft-touch materials found throughout the cabin. The X5 now comes with BMW’s latest curved infotainment screen and digital dial display, and there’s loads of storage to be found throughout the cabin. The seats are also pretty comfortable as well.
There are a couple of engines to choose from. Two 3-litre straight-six diesels deliver either 300hp or 350hp, while there’s also a 3-litre straight-six turbo petrol coupled with an electric motor, that can put down 490hp. However, the range-topper is the M60i, which has a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can deliver 530hp.
The new X5 starts from around £69,000, rising up to around £94,000 for the range-topping edition. So is it worth it? Or should you choose a GLE or Q7 instead? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
