If you’re shopping luxury, you might be overwhelmed by all the options available on vehicles like the BMW X5. The best bet is to pick a body style and powertrain that gives you the right blend of performance and practicality. Since the X5 only comes in one body style—SUV—that leaves you to select which variant is right. According to AutoGuide, those looking for that balance will love the xDrive35i.
Coming with all-wheel drive and a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, the xDrive35i comes with an even blend of horsepower and torque: 300 hp/300 lb-ft. Thanks to that turbo, though, the power kicks in almost as soon as you step on the gas, meaning you get some pretty sporty acceleration. The taut handling and agile steering feel also add some sporty flavors. But there are practical uses for this SAV, too. It has vast cargo room, and an option sheet that can enhance your day-to-day driving needs.
If you want the kind of SUV driving experience that only can be delivered by a new BMW, a stop by our Urbandale, IA showroom might be in the cards. We’ll help you find your best fitting model, or take you on a test drive of the one you’ve set your heart on.
