AutoExec Summary
BMW has released the fourth-generation X5, which is the world’s most popular luxury SUV with over 2.2 million global sales. The xDrive 30d variant offers a 3.0-litre straight-six turbo diesel, eight-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive for $112,990 plus on-roads. The new model features expanded dimensions, upgraded infotainment, and connectivity. It includes digital instruments, smartphone integration, and a new head-up display. The X5 also comes with a range of standard features including adaptive LED headlights, automatic high-beams, and adaptive suspension dampers. In terms of driving, the X5 is described as a tight, responsive wagon with impressive dynamics and a powerful turbo diesel engine. Overall, it is considered a four-star SUV with a verdict that it loses half a star due to its clunky infotainment system.
