Here, resting quietly on the lot, we find a magnificent specimen of the upper-atmosphere predator class. The 2019 BMW X5 xDrive50i carries a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 under its hood, producing the kind of pull that makes highway on-ramps feel almost comically short. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive, this particular animal covers ground with a calm authority that its 86,415 miles have done nothing to diminish. The M Sport Exhaust System and Adaptive M Suspension hint, quietly, that comfort was never meant to be the whole story.
The creature has adapted remarkably well to the demands of its environment. Its Arctic Gray Metallic exterior blends into upscale parking structures and school pickup lines with equal ease, while the 21-inch M Y-Spoke wheels communicate, to anyone paying attention, that this is not a base model. Inside, Vernasca leather covers the Multi-Contour seats, which happen to heat, cool, and massage their occupants. The front seats also ventilate. The natural companion to this vehicle is someone who has tried a lesser SUV and found the experience quietly disappointing. A Bowers and Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System provides the soundtrack. Soft-close automatic doors handle the finale.
Its survival toolkit is extensive. Icon Adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight technology illuminate the road ahead with an almost accusatory brightness. The Driving Assistance Professional Package brings Active Driving Assistant Pro and Extended Traffic Jam Assistant, which means the X5 will, in certain conditions, simply drive itself through congestion while the occupant contemplates life choices. A Head-Up Display projects speed and navigation onto the windshield. Gesture Control lets the driver adjust audio by waving at the dashboard. The vehicle also tows up to 7,200 pounds, which is a fact that rarely fails to surprise observers expecting something more decorative. Fuel economy sits at 17 city and 22 highway MPG, which is reasonable for an animal of this size and appetite.
