BMW X5

摘要

Does the latest iteration of BMW's large SUV still have the X factor? Over the next nine months, we're going to find out. Eight years ago I ran a Volvo XC90 for a year, and it is fair to say the experiment didn't really work. Actually, it worked brilliantly for two of the four of us, because my then very young children loved sitting high and being able to see out. But it made my wife feel seasick and me simply resentful of almost every other road user, who was, quite clearly, having far more fun than me. It proved what I had always suspected: I was not an SUV kind of guy and never had been.
