The 2013 BMW X5 remains a top choice among luxury crossover SUVs thanks to its athletic performance and refined interior.

The 2012 BMW X5M is a far better sports car than a Cayman, and one of the best tow vehicles this side of a diesel F-250. It’s an insane vehicle that’s crazy fast and crazy fun.

With its fantastic family utility and stylish looks, the 2012 BMW X5 offers a driving experience that can’t be matched by another crossover. Admittedly, this fusion of function and fun doesn’t come cheap.

The X5 remains one of the best options for buyers looking for a mid-size luxury SUV. This is mainly thanks to its handsome styling, ample space for five passengers, and luxurious interior, but it’s also a brilliant performer.

The 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i emphasizes onroad handling in the most high-tech SUV available, although it hasn’t conquered the curse of mediocre SUV fuel economy.

The 2012 BMW X5 has sharp styling, decent utility and an interior that lives up to BMW’s luxury reputation. You really want to love the SUV. But its driving flaws add up, and a decade of awful reliability stains any admiration.

The 2012 BMW X5 xDrive50i is not your typical back roads SUV. It challenges you to take the road less traveled whether it is paved with asphalt or not.

If you’re an existing X5 owner looking to upgrade to a newer model, you’ll feel right at home with the new X5. BMW says you’ll experience unmatched performance bang for your gasoline buck, too.

BMW banishes the notion that the X5 is getting long in the tooth. BMW managed to squeeze even more power out of an already capable platform. Coupled with the new Active Steering and Active Drive systems, the SUV drives like it has completely new bones.

If you’re a BMW fan, particularly of the X5, this is a nice upgrade. And yes, that is a reason to consider putting it in your garage. More power. Same comfort. Classy, understated looks. It’s all here. And it’s a well-executed package.

The BMW X5 remains a surprisingly agile and entertaining way to transport the family. The new, more-powerful engines will only enhance its appeal.

BMW’s refreshed X5 continues in its quest for total perfection in the luxury crossover/SUV realm by incorporating engine and drivetrain improvements that continue to keep the Sport Activity Vehicle, or whatever they want to call it, relevant in an extremely competitive segment.
