2009 BMW X5

Diesel now available for Bimmer's big SUV. edited by J.P. Vettraino

Summary

2009 BMW X5

Think of the BMW X5 as a tall sports sedan with reasonable towing capability and a great view ahead. It's by no means an off-road vehicle, and in terms of utility, the X5 lacks the cargo-passenger flexibility and ultimate cargo capacity of many competitors. If sporting, on-pavement driving dynamics are the priority in a luxury SUV, the X5 is a great place to start. If family friendly utility and minimal aggravation are most important, it may not be.

J.P. Vettraino reports to NewCarTestDrive.com from Detroit, with Phil Berg contributing from rural Michigan.
