  • The BMW X5 is a big selling large premium SUV. It rivals the Mercedes GLE, the Audi Q7 and the Range Rover Sport. The BMW X5 is available with a range of powerful engines including a twin turbo in the M version. Diesels are the most popular in the UK though, and a new plug-in hybrid version the X5, called the 40e, has been added to the range to deliver strong performance but with lower running costs than the other petrol engines. This is the model our reviewer Mat Watson is testing here. However, this review is for the whole X5 range. And you can watch our individual videos of the car's practicality and infotainment systems. Plus you can join Mat for a passenger ride thanks to our 360 degrees camera.

    Been riding around in a 2016 X5 M Sport the past couple days. Definitely has some significant tire roar on the 20" wheels. Cabin quality is great, seats are pretty comfy and infinitely adjustable, and the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system is phenomenal. It's pretty fast too, had no problem passing lol

    Great video Matt. On an interesting side, I do love the design of the interior of the X5 where it is very minimalist with a Scandinavian tone. For me, it is the best interior out of its rival (GLE, RX, and Q7). Anyway, everyone has their own opinions.

    always fun to watch.. the other annoying feature with BMW cars "I've got one" is that you need to press the "P" button on the center console every time you need the park sensor to work, annoying as i use it every day when i pull into the garage, other German rivals have it on permanently and you turn it off in those rare occasions when you don't need i.e car wash etc.

    @eganleong95 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, thank you once again to Matt for delivering another excellent review and very nice timing on the release of this video. Recently, BMW Malaysia has introduced this exact model which costs way lesser than the normal x5 due to Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) incentives. My dad is dying to get one however my sister is extremely put off by its styling. Will it's Driving dynamics win over the other faults of the vehicle? We also currently own an Evoque, how does that compare to the X5?

    • @Horizon301.
      @Horizon301. 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The x5 hybrid is shocking and no one buys it, only a idiot would the Q7 Etron is not much more then the normal one and it gets 140mpg where as this has a claimed mpg of something like 50

    @lloydsoanes864 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the channel and the reviews. I have an X5 and have been told by a BMW main dealer workshop controller of 26 years of experience that the X5 eats tyres. It's due to the suspension set up. The rear tyres wear on the extreme inner edges and can go down to the canvas but the rest of the tyre has 4 to 5 mm left on it. Similarly the fronts wear on the extreme outer edges. Guess what BMW UK deny all knowledge of this. I spent £700 on a set of rear tyres. Not very happy.

    • @prabeeshsidhu
      @prabeeshsidhu 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very true, does your car also have the staggered set up? I feel that affects it too. I was interested in the x5 with the m body kit but the tyres seem expensive

      £38,000 for a used 2018 X5 M Sport sounds a little steep! I have the same (2018) with the 30d xDrive engine. I'm assuming you bought yours with low mileage and maybe the 40d or 50d engine?

    Now is probably the best time to buy a demo or dealer used X5 before it gets facelifted in late 2019 or early 2020, its so cheap compared to the similar models and you can sell it right before the new model come out and save money.

    The BMW interior is exactly what I like about it. Simplicity, practicality and somewhat luxury, so stop calling it "a bit dated"! Also, the BMW gear lever is the most beautiful in the market! When it is about taste, just leave it to individuals to decide for themselves!

    The new 2018 X5 should have a more updated cabin as it will be an all new car. However, the new 5 series was revealed this week and it's cabin is not a radical departure from this X5's. Just BMW styling I guess.

    The interior is definitely better than the one in the merc. I absolutely love it. The colour in that one is boring. Go for a saddle brown and ivory white color combo with high-gloss wood trim and you'll see how beautiful the X5 interior is.
