A star among intermediate luxury SUVs, the BMW X5 continues to attract attention despite pressure by environmentalists and the price of fuel. The basic version is fitted with a 260 horsepower 3.0-litre engine with six in-line cylinders, while the 4.8i gets a 350 horsepower 4.8-litre V8 engine. This vehicle combines luxury, refinement, and comfort, while it is capable of surprising off-road performances.
