Pros & cons
BMW X5 xDrive40d
- Efficient long-distance cruiser (7.3 L/100 km combined).
- 700 Nm torque and 5.5 s 0–100 km/h for confident overtakes.
- AWD traction supports winter and all-weather driving.
- 650 L boot and five-seat SUV space for growing families.
- Large SUV footprint is cumbersome in tight city streets and parking.
- Diesel powertrain favors longer journeys over short urban hops.
- Price near 60,000 won’t suit budget-focused buyers.
- Limited to five seats; not for those needing seven.
