The BMW X5 is the big luxury SUV that still loves to be driven. In India it comes as the xDrive40i petrol or the xDrive30d diesel, both six-cylinder, with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as standard. Inside there is BMW’s Curved Display, a Harman Kardon sound system and a big 650-litre boot, and prices run from about Rs 96.90 lakh to Rs 1.12 crore (ex-showroom).
The photos below take you around the X5 inside and out, so you can see how it balances comfort with a genuine sporty streak. A well-kept used X5 on Spinny costs a lot less than a new one.
