BMW X5 SUV 2014 pictures

The BMW X5 is a large SUV with rivals including the Range Rover Sport, Volvo XC90, Mercedes GLE and Porsche Cayenne

The X5 comes with five seats as standard, but seven seats are available as an option 

A wide range of engines is available, with a 2.0-litre diesel with rear-wheel-drive kicking off the range

Every other X5 has four-wheel-drive as standard, with 3.0-litre diesels offering a blend of power and economy

There's also a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 petrol engine for acceleration on a par with many sports cars

BMW's iconic headlights and kidney grille ensure the X5 is instantly recognisable in the line-up

The top M Sport trim comes fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension and a body kit

The entry-level trim is called SE, and comes with a generous amount of kit including sat nav

With 375bhp, the BMW X5 M50d can get from 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds

The cabin is dominated by a 10-inch infotainment screen controlled by BMW's iDrive controller

The instruments are traditional analogue dials, which are started to look dated next to some rivals with digital displays

The SE trim comes with a 20GB hard drive for storing music, along with Bluetooth and DAB radio

The iDrive controller is easier to use and safer than a touchscreen while driving

The automatic gearbox fitted in the BMW X5 is smooth and suits the way most will drive an SUV
