If you’re enamored of the BMW marque or mystique, but require more utility than BMW sedans or wagons provide, the X5 should be right up your alley. The platform remains dynamic, while the people/cargo equation is much more versatile.
Despite its more sporting capability when compared to the SUV entries of other carmakers, you won’t be taking an X5 – any X5 – to an autocross or track day. To that end, you might not wish to accept the trade-off for the X5’s more aggressive performance (i.e. a more aggressive ride). If you prefer the art of shopping to the art of driving you’ll find better options within BMW’s competitive set.
