Even if you put efficiency and costs to one side for a minute, the X5 fulfils all the requirements of a top luxury SUV, starting with punchy performance. With the smooth six-cylinder petrol engine and electric motor working together, this 2.5-tonne beast barrels from 0-62mph quicker than the equivalent Q7 , and it can easily keep up with motorway traffic while running on electric power alone.
Although the X5 feels firmer than the Q7, the standard air suspension helps to deliver a smooth ride, trumping the sometimes unsettled XC90 in this regard. It’s also more agile and enjoyable to drive than the. In fact, the only rival you might choose over it for pure driving pleasure is the Cayenne. For some, the fact that you can’t have the 45e with seven seats might come as a disappointment when the XC90 retains its standard third row in plug-in guise, but we’ve always felt that the X5 is at its best as a five-seater anyway.
Although the Q7 and XC90 offer more rear seat space and bigger boots, you’d never accuse the 45e of being short on space or practicality, and its interior is right up there with the best in class when it comes to the standard of fit and finish. And the icing on the cake is an infotainment system that blows everything else out of the water for user-friendliness.
Even when judged purely by traditional luxury SUV standards, the X5 is hard to beat as an overall package. When you factor in the 45e’s remarkable efficiency and long electric range as well, the case for choosing it becomes absolutely watertight.For all the latest reviews, advice and new car deals, sign up to the What Car? newsletter
