What owners have to say

Based on 16 reviews

"The one full review praises performance, comfort and quietness, calling it the best car this owner has had, and wishes only for a sunroof. The remaining comments are brief. Most owners say they are happy or delighted with their X5, while several describe faults taken in for attention, including gearbox, suspension and software problems. Well liked, with the odd fault along the way."

Steve's Verdict

Almost limousine-like for comfort, with a wonderfully plush ride and impressive tech. Big, expensive and not the sharpest SUV, but still effortlessly desirable.

Did you know?

Daily stress hack: reverse out of a corkscrew driveway without drama—automatic path retracing remembers the steering you used to get in.

Ergonomics you feel: the higher hip point can cut back-bending effort when loading kids or luggage, reducing end‑of‑day aches on busy family schedules.

Spec-savvy resale: light interiors, head‑up display and driver‑assist packs tend to photograph better online, which can translate into quicker interest and stronger offers.
