CarTell take
We haven't driven the X5 yet. On paper, ANCAP rating is from 2019. If you need seven seats step up to the X7.
Why consider it
- xDrive50e delivers 96 km WLTP EV range, longest in the segment. xDrive30d diesel six is the long-haul tow tug at 7.4 L/100 km.
- 3,500 kg braked on diesel and petrol, 2,700 kg on the PHEV.
- Sharpest dynamic SUV of the German trio.
What to know
- Five seats only, no third row available in Australia.
- PHEV pricing premium is $40k over the xDrive30d. iDrive 8.5 has dropped the rotary controller.
- Options inflate the price quickly, drive-away can climb past $190k.
Who it suits
PHEV commuters, tow buyers, driver-focused and tech buyers who want the dynamic pick of the German large luxury SUV trio. xDrive50e is the standout.
