2020 BMW X5 Review: The Most Balanced (Base Trim) Midsize SUV!

The 2020 BMW X5 is a fantastic MIDSIZE luxury SUV. At just over $64,000 it arrives at the perfect intersect between luxury and affordability, size and sportiness! This X-Drive (AWD) 40i model sports a peppy inline 6 that gets the car moving. It has a ton of upgrades inside, that make it a huge step up from the previous generation X5... here I take it on a drive and further discuss why I like it, and how in compares to some of its rivals.

First of all, shoutout Drama and his calves. Second of all, that shark comparison was so spot on, keep up the good work!

You really covered it all here and gave some good perspectives & showed the alternatives too! Definitely a must watch for anyone considering an X5. You nailed it Niz! Uh I mean Reo 🤭

I’m watching this for a 2nd time now! Yes I have some extra time! Hahaha you did a great job.

Mine is the S-drive that even closer to Base Trim, just comes with a convenient package. The lack of the camera feature indeed bothers me a bit just like what you said. But if you do like driving, the technology, in my opinion, doesn't do much, and they sometimes bother me such as the intervention feature which I turned it off since the very first day. And I don't even look at the blind spotlight.

My only complaint is the lackluster basic sound system.

How’s it going man I really appreciate all your content!!! I have a question u said your own bmw was a lease do y out plan on keeping it or are u turning it in? 🤔🤔🌟

I’m loving the bigger Kidney Grills- I say BMW should keep rolling with them for a decade or so until the the next trend can be developed.

The X5 is definitely a superior midsize SUV compared to its competition. My only complaint is I miss the heavy steering in the X5.
