Why it stands out

The 2018 BMW X5 stands out as a luxury SUV that still puts driving feel at the centre of the experience. BMW built it on a rear-wheel drive platform and equipped it with inline-six or V8 engines, while xDrive all-wheel drive was standard in Canada. It was also not meant for serious off-road use; moderately challenging trails were described as the limit, especially on versions with larger wheels and performance tyres. Inside, it was a midsize, two-row, five-passenger SUV with a roomy cabin, outstanding visibility, and generous cargo space, although the split tailgate could make it awkward to reach items that slide forward near the back seat.

For the 2018 model year, the X5 belonged to the third generation, which had arrived in 2014 with a cleaner, more conservative design and a greater sense of refinement and sophistication. That generation offered turbocharged inline six-cylinder, turbo V8, and turbocharged diesel engines, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It also brought the latest versions of BMW’s iDrive infotainment technology and many modern safety features, and by the 2017 model year it could include iDrive 6.0 with touchscreen functionality, wireless smartphone charging, and Wi-Fi hotspot access. The result was an SUV that appealed to buyers who wanted a premium, practical vehicle that still felt rewarding to drive.

There are trade-offs, though. The third-generation X5 was praised for being less troublesome than earlier versions, but major maintenance and repairs can still be expensive. The V8 models are also not fuel efficient, which raises ownership costs. Even so, for shoppers who value comfort, performance, and a well-equipped cabin in a used luxury SUV, the 2018 BMW X5 remains distinctive because it blends everyday usefulness with the kind of road manners that helped define the model in the first place.
