BMW X5 Change Vehicle

"Drives great"

"The car feels solid. I had Mercedes cars for 20 years prior and always felt the BMW label " the ultimate driving machine" was not important to me. I thought it meant more of a sporty feel. bUt it really means a feeling of control and confidence in its handling the road."

"For such a big vehicle, you can set it up to pull away like crazy when you want it to. But you can also dial it down, conserve gas, and (for my car at least) run on battery when traffic is bad."

"very good acceleration. This is diesel. Much better than 3.0 gas model"

"The smaller engine couple with the electric engine gives plenty of power and quick acceleration. I pay a litter more on my monthly but it is offset by only having to buy gas once a month or so because of the hybrid feature."

"brakes are less sensitive when operating on electric power"

"It is fun to drive. Responsive, quick acceleration, especially in sport mode."

"love the three choices of drive modes; economy, comfort & sport. I use all three and it's great !"

"The best handling of all the Sport utility vehicles that I have driven. Great acceleration, very responsive steering especially in sport mode. It’s a great mountain vehicle."

"The car almost steers itself. The steering response is incredible. The chassis is rock steady even when pushed hard into a turn. The 6 cylinder engine is the perfect blend of more power than I'd ever need and mileage that gives the car incredible range."

"Solid, sure footed handling. strong acceleration"

"The BMW experience is driving is wonderful, glad to own this brand of car again. Although I wish they would make the 5 series (yes I know you did not ask) with standard seating instead of sitting so low to the ground."

"Low profile tires are bad in snow."

"Steering and acceleration very responsive;car is real quick; diesel. Is very efficient and great torque; Agile and fun to drive even though its a very spacious car with lots of storage"

"This hybrid is our first and the acceleration is surprisingly good; powerful engine with good “get up and go‿ while still sipping gas"

"Excellent control, handling, mileage and acceleration (with turbo 3.0 lit) versus v8 I was considering."

"The combination of the small turbo-charged engine and the electric motor make it fast off the line. And, around town, I get 40-50 mpg, depending on state of charge. I do wish it had more electric range, but it’s perfect for my short commute, which I do all electric."

"Decent accelleration. Enjoy the different modes - sport, etc. handles well for a SUV."

"The new X5 has the distinctive feel of German muscle, but it seems to incorporated some smoothness of Lexus. I still remember my old BMW from 17 years ago. it was a precise German machine, simple and powerful even after ten years. But it was always pretty loud and bumpy. The X5 is a German beast with a silky fur. If the X5 learned something from Asian luxury cars, it also picked up something not that desirable-----the controls are too complicated."

"Fantastic acceleration at any speed Sports car like handling, excellent cornering"

"For an SUV it is quite agile and holds the road great. Fun to drive."

"very comfortable leather seats, very quite and smooth ride"

"it is just a great vehicle with everything built to a high standard. Expensive but worth the money."

"Ride comfort and front seats"

"Super comfortable seats and ride. Never get tired on long trips. BMW got it right."

"Very comfortable ride. Right mix of firmness and softness. Great feel for the road. Nimble. Excellent acceleration."

"The trunk has made noise (it creaks) since I got the car. I brought it back twice to BMW. They just tighten the trunk latch. It still makes noise, but infrequently. But, the trunk does not close properly. There is a larger space on one side vs the other between the trunk and body. Now BMW says it is my fault. That “I must have brought it to a body shop for something else and they messed it up.‿ I never brought it anywhere. And now it is out of warranty, so they won’t do anything about it even though they probably caused it. Ridiculous."

"The X5 plug-in hybrid is extremely quiet, especially when it is electric motor. The seat is very comfortable. The ride is silky smooth and very robust when it is on sports mode. The driver feels confident and comfortable."

"Seats are the best. Very quite ride."

"Seats are soft enough tobe comfortable but still firm enough for solid ride; outside driving noise is minimal; overall ride is quite smooth for an SUV and very much improved over our 2013 X5"

"Great car, worth every penny, but do feel there are too many options that should be included as standard."
