Note: The horsepower and torque figures displayed in the video are not correct. The correct figures can be found bellow.

The BMW X5 xDrive25d is the base model of the local range and, in all fairness to BMW, it doesn't look that basic at all. Yes, it's been around since 2014 but the design has aged rather well.

You'll be impressed by its build quality with high grade materials and soft touch panels surrounding the cabin. The chunky, thick-rimmed steering wheel is begging to be used and the classic BMW arrangement is still there.

As luxurious and elegant as the X5 is, it's not exactly refined when you start it up. The turbodiesel grumbles and judders into life, which somewhat diminishes the poise and finesse the exterior design exudes.
But all is forgiven once you close the door and get moving. 231 hp doesn't sound much on paper for some, but the engine pulls the portly 2.1 ton crossover with ease. The engine's a sipper too, delivering good fuel economy figures.

It's smooth in operation and it's paired really well to the eight-speed automatic transmission.
You expect a BMW to ride well and the X5 doesn't disappoint. It does a good job keeping the ride level without much wallow or pitch. That means you won't get carsick in the X5, nor will end up with back ache, even after a long drive or a stint on rough roads.
