There are not much changes made to the 2012 BMW X5, since the company feels that it still possesses the firepower to maintain its position at the top of the list for luxury crossover SUVs. The car boasts of powerful engines, a re-christened interior and perfect on-road credentials, thereby encompassing nearly every modern amenity that can be expected from a luxury SUV. Developments made to BMW's iDrive interface also makes controlling these features easier. Various engine choices are also on offer including a turbocharged six-cylinder, a burly twin-turbo V8, a torque-rich diesel variant and 555-hp monster variant in the X5 M. Buyers must also be aware that the optional third-row seats are comfortable only for children and heavy steering effort at low speeds coupled with a stiff riding experiences in some terrains may lower some of X5’s shine.
