Test drivers love the 2013 BMW X5's performance, saying the SUV is sporty and fun to drive. In diesel trims, its fuel economy is better than many competitors, though other diesel-powered rivals, like the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7, get even better gas mileage. Most reviewers agree that the base six-cylinder engine has plenty of power for most buyers, and V8-powered trims are fast for a midsize crossover. Plus, the high-performance X5 M is faster and has better handling than almost any other SUV on the market, according to reviewers. The X5's sporty demeanor means its firm ride may feel too stiff for some, and its engine might be a bit louder than some shoppers expect.
Test drivers write that the BMW X5's cabin is well-made and uses high-quality materials. Buyers who like to get the most features for their money will want to look elsewhere. BMW will make you pay extra for features like leather upholstery, a power liftgate and parking sensors that many other luxury crossovers come with as standard. The BMW X5's iDrive infotainment controls can be confusing to learn and complex to use, but that's a complaint that reviewers have for similar systems from most other luxury automakers. The 2013 BMW X5 can seat up to seven people when equipped with an optional third-row seat.
