Car Profiles - BMW X5

BMW X5

The first car in the X family receives a third generation model, the X5 has the same wheelbase as the previous model (don't get fooled). For a large SUV, it is refreshing to drive plus the cabin has decent space but refinement is not a suit.

The Good: Both a driver's and passenger's car
The Bad: Not refined

Price Range: P6,590,000-P6,990,000
Our Rating: ****
