BMW X5
In 2000, the BMW X5 was among the first intermediate SUVs available. Now well-established, it stays the course with no major changes for 2012. The most interesting trim, the xDrive35d, uses a diesel engine, while the xDrive35i and xDrive50i call on gas engines that produce 300 and 400 hp, respectively. For performance fans, there’s the X5 M and its 555-hp V8.
