G05 generation brought BMW's X5 into genuinely new territory, pairing a more driver-focused structure with the kind of interior quality and technology the previous generation could only gesture towards. This xDrive30d is powered by BMW's 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel, producing 265 HP and 620 Nm of torque, figures that give the X5 a particular kind of unhurried authority that suits the character of the car extremely well. Drive goes to all four wheels through BMW's All-Wheel Drive xDrive system, and the adaptive air suspension keeps the ride composed whether the road is smooth or broken, loaded or light. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Vernasca leather with powered front sport seats that offer both heating and a memory function, which makes the car immediately familiar regardless of who last drove it. The BMW Live Cockpit Professional runs iDrive 7.0 across a dual 12.3-inch display setup with touch control and voice activation, and the heads-up display keeps speed and navigation details in the driver's sightline without requiring attention away from the road. A panoramic sunroof lifts the cabin considerably, and adaptive cruise control reduces the effort of longer journeys without removing the driver entirely from proceedings. As a complete package, this is a thoroughly specified and genuinely capable large SUV that rewards careful ownership and asks very little in return.
