The X5 has been the class benchmark since its introduction, with competing manufacturers comparing their vehicles to it - mostly unsuccessfully, especially in road manners - even when it was no longer new. And with a 6,000-pound towing capacity, even for the 3.0si, the X5 can please more than the BMW faithful.

The styling, while evolutionary and still instantly recognizable, is all new. That size increase means a welcome expansion of interior space - and an available third row seat. There is a new unibody structure, with improved crash-management design. The front suspension is BMW's first non-strut design since 1961, while the rear suspension has also been revised. The 3.0si's engine is the latest magnesium/aluminum unit from BMW with more power - 260 hp - than the previous X5 six, and better fuel economy. Matched to an upgraded six-speed automatic transmission, that feature the newest iteration of the "xDrive" full-time all-wheel drive system. The interior is much improved in size and style, and has all of the latest features and gadgets in the BMW inventory.

Even without a look at the trademark twin-kidney grille and quad round headlights in front, the new X5 will be instantly recognizable. Although it's larger than the original in every dimension - by 4.5 inches in wheelbase, 7.4 in length, 2.3 in width, and 2.0 in height - the overall shape and proportions are a close match.

The X5's interior styling is standard contemporary BMW and pure car, with no truck or SUV styling cues. It is well-made - and now more spacious. Besides being equipped with large, vented antilock disc brakes on all four wheels, the X5, seemingly has more stability-enhancement electronics than a modern jet fighter. Electronic integration and communication allows the xDrive full-time all-wheel drive system and Hill Descent Control and trailer stabilization systems to work with the Dynamic Stability Control System for optimum traction, while brake drying, brake standby, and brake fade compensation enhance the already considerable braking power. Adaptive headlights, which move with the steering for a better view of the road at night, are standard.

The X5 is the antidote to the tippy, mushy, sloppy, slushy SUV. One of the activities in the SAV program is serious driving, and the X5 accomplishes that with all of the verve expected of any BMW.

The N52 inline six-cylinder engine is a gem, and feels much stronger than its specifications of 260 horsepower (at 6600 rpm) and 225 lb-ft of torque (at a low 2750 rpm) would indicate. It's lightweight and efficient, and here perfectly matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with "Steptronic" manual shift mode. "D" is fine for all but the most enthusiastic back road driving, at which point third works quite well, thank you. No peaky power here, as can be told by that 2750rpm torque peak. Manual shifting is by a small, flickable electronic lever on the console. In manual or automatic, the transmission shifts smoothly and quickly, and matches revs when downshifting. With its second-generation X5, BMW continues at the top of the performance-utility SUV, or is that SAV?, class.
