Fri, Mar 08, 2019 - 5:50 AMBMW's first Sport Utility Vehicle, the X5, came out all of 20 years ago, but it is clear that evolution has been kind to the model.
That is chiefly thanks to the bits you cannot see. Luxury is all about effortlessness and being insulated from the outside world. The engine certainly takes care of the former. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder is both punchy and refined, offering sports car-baiting acceleration without breaking a sweat.Standard-fit air suspension takes care of the latter. The X5 rides like it is floating on air, which is astounding given the humongous optional 21-inch rims on our test car .
Finally, there are plenty of"Ooh!"-inducing features, such as a glass roof that lights up at night, an app that turns your smartphone into a virtual key, and a high-definition twin-screen dashboard. The X5 can even reverse itself out of a tight spot and trace the exact path which you drove in, which sounds like a neat party trick but is really a useful feature in a car this big.
