Frederic Manby makes a return journey in the BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport and finds there is much to enjoy in this luxurious version of the its plainer predecessors in the X5 range.

The return to Grosmont. If you want to fit in with the locals, the s is silent and the t becomes a d. I had been in ‘growmond’ several weeks ago for a gathering in a lofty Victorian country house, looking down from the brow on to the village and the River Esk. Wealth and work once came from its ironstone mines. Our weekender transport then was the redoubtable Jeep Wrangler.

The torque is quick and lusty, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox with variable torque sensing. The cute thing with PHEVs is their high performance but very low CO2 emissions and remarkable economy ratings, combining to give low payroll taxation for the company driver. Viz: 0-62mph 4.8 seconds, 155mph maximum, 314mpg, 20g/km CO2, range of electric power 64 miles, a BIK tax band of eight per cent.
