BMW X5
Completely redesigned two years ago, the BMW X5 returns with no major changes for 2021. A sweet mix of luxury, performance and technology, this midsize SUV offers a generous selection of powertrains including a plug-in hybrid system for extra efficiency and a mighty twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 engine that produces up to 617 horsepower in M Competition trim. That one is a real monster, there’s no other way to describe it.
