Review
If you want to get away from the rest of those soft and numb SUVs, you need to take this BMW X5 out for a test drive.

What I like
The fast steering - so much so that the X5 feels almost nervous - the keen throttle response, as well as the generally tidy ride and handling.

It's big and spacious, and build quality is impressive.

What I do not like
Could use a few more features such as ventilated seats/

Review
Where many SUV feels heavy and ponderous, this BMW X5 delivers a light and agile driving experience. Could this be the car to get if you've got a growing family but still want to tear the tarmac?

What I like
Delightfully agile on the road, is what this X5 is. There's a light and fast steering, the pedals are lightly weighted, and the throttle responsiveness makes the X5 feel smaller than it actually is.

Build quality is also high, and the rear seats are spacious enough even for those of a bigger size.

What I do not like
What's there to complain about? You no longer get a third row of seats in this X5, but I reckon not many utilise these anyways - taking them out of the equation frees up more space for luggage and those golf bags.

Review
Got a family to ferry around but still want to indulge in a bit of cheeky motoring? This BMW X5 could be just the premium solution.

What I like
Sharp throttle response and a quick yet accurate steering make the X5 a very convincing SUV for those that love to drive.

Throw in the fact that there's good space for those at the rear, and some cushy seats, a well thought out seating position and a sensible cabin layout, and this X5 is hard to fault.

This latest facelift clears up the front and rear quite a bit, although the car does look a little awkwardly geometric, especially when viewed directly from the front.

What I do not like
Nil.
