The BMW X5 is a full-size SUV that offers plenty of space and decent on-road handling to back up its 4x4 credentials. Can the X5 give the Land Rover Discovery and Audi Q7 a run for their money?

New BMW X5 reviews

The current X5 is BMW’s first ever seven-seater vehicle. The 2007-on X5 has a tweaked design and an improved range of engines. So how does it perform, and is it worth the £45,000 starting price?

BMW X5 (2007-)

New price: £45,300 - £83,140
BMW's first seven seater, the 4x4 X5 is a clear rival to the Audi Q7 and Land Rover Discovery 3. On-road it's great fun, but what about off-road?

Used BMW X5 reviews

The first BMW X5 was renowned for successfully combining a sporty ride with all-out luxury. Even if you can afford the initial outlay of a used BMW X5, you may find the running costs prohibitive. Insurance is pricey and fuel costs can be high, even for the most efficient diesel models.
