Is the 2017 X5 most magnificent midsize luxury SUV we here at Bert Smith BMW have ever encountered?
Well, if it isn't, we've absolutely no trouble admitting that we're not quite sure what is. Simply put, the latest X5 is a straight-up stunner.
Check the clip below to get a feel for what we mean. Here now with more on all things X5 is carwow reviewer Mat Watson:
Sure to be one of the more popular picks across the X5 lineup, its entry-level engine -- a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder -- is altogether exquisite.
Good for a hearty 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine syncs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The xDrive all-wheel system, meanwhile, is optional.
And we definitely appreciate the fuel economy of the base six-banger, too. When had in rear-drive form, for example, it'll achieve 21 mpg combined (18 city/25 highway).
If you'd like to meet this handsome utility hauler "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Saint Petersburg, FL location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the X5, or any other BMW model that's corralled your curiosity.
