Just exercise caution when considering those extra-cost options. So is the X5 worth paying so much for? Yes, particularly if you appreciate the agile handling usually associated with BMW and need something a touch more practical that the Cayenne. Although somewhat less prestigious marque, the Volkswagen Touareg can be as much as £10,000 cheaper. While the X5 undercuts the Range Rover Sport on entry-level cost, rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Porsche typically undercut the BMW by a few thousand pounds.The days of these cars driving well ‘for an SUV’ are pretty much over. The X5 rides level but smooth and the engines pull well, especially those mighty M-badged models. All-wheel drive is always a welcome companion in dicey conditions and the rear-wheel steering tightens the X5’s lines at low speed. This Mk4 X5 is no exception, putting its modern underpinnings to good use. The X-badged BMWs have never been the last bastion of BMW’s old ‘Ultimate Driving Machine’ slogan, but have always put a strong foot forward.How fast? A 3.8-second 0-62mph time suggests 'very'. Surrounding the cylinder is a plastic ring which is used as a power meter to measure your strength progress.

Sitting atop the range as a performance-focused halo model is the X5 M - MX5 would be more logical, but Mazda would clearly have something to say about that.As for specifications, you can get a more rugged-looking xLine and the ubiquitous M Sport – both are generously equipped. Automatic transmissions and xDrive all-wheel drive is available across the range. Plug-in hybrid power returned towards the end of 2019 in the form of the xDrive40e.

Although it’s never quite had the prestigious style of a Range Rover or the badge kudos of the Porsche, like the Q7, the X5’s always had road presence. In Mk4 guise, the X5 goes toe-to-toe with the Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 for plush SUV supremacy. BMW now offers seven crossovers, so the X5 has quite a legacy after two decades on sale. Now in its fourth-generation, the original X5 was BMW’s first move into the ever-expanding large SUV market, and what a strategic decision it proved to be.FAQs Frequently asked questions about the BMW X5
