In the realm of SUVs, the revamped BMW X5 emerges as a Swiss Army knife on wheels, boasting a plethora of functions akin to a versatile mobile device. The carwow crew delves into the exterior tweaks, spotlighting the fresh light and bumper designs, a range of wheel options, and a price tag starting north of £69,000. Inside, the X5 flaunts a revamped dash layout, a digital display, and opulent materials, with a standard vegan interior exuding luxury. Practicality reigns supreme with ample storage, USB ports, wireless charging, and even air freshener cartridges tucked away.
Transitioning to the rear seats, the team explores the adequate room, under-thigh support, and convenient access to ISOFIX points, climate control, and storage nooks. While showcasing the X5's 650 L luggage capacity and split electric tailgate, they also shed light on five irksome aspects of the vehicle, including controls shifted to the infotainment system and easily smudged trim. On the flip side, they laud the plug-in hybrid variant's impressive electric range, the availability of a seven-seater configuration, and the air suspension's nifty feature for easier loading.
As the rubber meets the road, the carwow enthusiasts embark on a test drive through town, extolling the optional air suspension's prowess in cushioning bumps and enhancing the driving experience with a touch of sophistication. They navigate the X5's light steering, progressive brakes, and discuss its 12.6 M turning circle, comparing it to the Mercedes GLE's tighter maneuvering capabilities. The review culminates with a demonstration of the X5's U-turn proficiency and a lighthearted wave to a passing vehicle, encapsulating the SUV's blend of comfort, practicality, and on-road agility.
