Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, multiple drivetrain choices, top safety scores, high-end cabin furnishings. The X5 is a joy to drive! Fun, fast, agile, and driver-intuitive. All the reasons you buy a BMW to begin with. But, you also get the benefits of an SUV road capabilities. A perfect marriage, in my book. If you are looking for an SUV and don't want to compromise in the driving department, this is a great fit. Drives like a car, great control, great handling, great brakes, great quality car.
