2023 BMW X5 review
The BMW X5 is due for an update, but the pre-facelift model still has plenty to offer. It's a winner in base xDrive30d form.

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Muscular yet efficient inline six diesel
- Spacious, well made interior
- Rides and handles well for a big bus
Misses
- $90,000+ on-road for a mid-spec Mazda
- Some drivetrain quirks dull refinment
- Rear end design is... interesting...
