4/5 Carbuyer "The BMW X5 might not be the best looking 4x4, but it's still an excellent seven-seat SUV."
"Out on the road, the BMW X5 is more fun to drive than a heavy SUV has any right to be, but it also doubles as a cosseting long-distance cruiser that can eat up miles with ease. "
4/5 What Car? "The BMW X5 is good to drive and has impressive fuel economy and CO2 emissions. Refinement leaves a bit to be desired, though."
4.5/5 Parkers "This is the third generation of the popular BMW X5 off-roader, a car that once represented 10 percent of all BMWs sold in the UK. Hoping to re-create that sort of sales success it promises major advances in design, luxury, comfort, safety, efficiency and driving enjoyment."
3/5 AutoExpress "Third generation BMW X5 is bigger and better than ever, although it no-longer stands out from the crowd."
"BMW describes the newcomer as “deliberately evolutionary” and, although the familiar looks won’t offend anyone, it’s less distinctive than its predecessor."
