What makes BMW SAVs like the X5 so much fun to drive? Aside from the brand’s commitment to engineering the Ultimate Driving Machine, it’s also because many SAVs come with rear wheel drive. But this might not speak to everyone. If you’re looking for a balance of practicality, luxury, and fun, Autoguide suggests taking the X5 xDrive35i for a spin.
The xDrive system adds BMW’s practical AWD system to the mix, giving you prime road command in any road condition. Better yet, this trim comes with a turbocharged inline-six which gives you not only plenty of power, but one of the many benefits of forced induction: power that comes in lower in the rev range. The video above showcases this, along with demonstrations of sport mode, and some of the SAV’s other practical features.
To tailor your new BMW to your needs, you first need to pick which model and trim fits you. Schedule a test drive appointment with our dealership in Denver, CO, and we can see which model speaks to you, and tailor it to your needs before we sign the paperwork.
