BMW X5 / Hybrid
Prices start at: €66,990

Bodystyle: SAV
Plus Points: With 2WD, the lead-in price looks a deal maker. Renowned for its handling and drive while AWD (xDrive) gives it a tenacious grip on the tarmac.
Minus Points: We think it is already looking dated and it’s not nearly as competent off-road as some rivals
Best Buy: 3.0 diesel 258bhp.
Final Answer: Yes, it’s a must for your shopping list.
