The BMW X5 handles like the company’s famed sports sedans, which is the top reason to consider this crossover. With an optional third row, its flexibility and styling make it one of our favorites. A 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six is standard; a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 and a turbo-diesel 3.0-liter inline-six are optional. As with all BMWs, be careful with options, or the price can escalate quickly
