2018 BMW X5 sDrive35i

The 2018 BMW X5 is a midsize luxury SUV that blends sporty driving with a premium cabin, competing with the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7. The X5 feels planted and confident at speed, with steering that is accurate and a ride that is firm but controlled. Inside, the cabin is luxurious and quiet, with comfortable seats and a long list of standard tech features. Cargo space is modest for the class, and the optional third row is best reserved for children. Rear-wheel drive sets the sDrive35i apart from the rest of the X5 lineup, which all send power to all four wheels. Its 3.0L I6 makes 300 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic, and you'll see 21 mpg combined at the pump.
