With the release date of the 2017 BMW X5 set to be sometime in the fall of 2017, a lot of people are trying to find any sort of information about its features and price.

According to The Car Connection, their expert review on the matter is that the car has a brightly stunning interior cabin that boasts of various advanced safety features and has strong power trains from top to bottom. However, in the same report the exterior leaves a bit more to be desired, coupled with its very small third row and its price potential to balloon up to six figures once it gets released.

In a more in-depth evaluation, the 2017 BMW X5 sets a benchmark for the luxury SUVs, setting the bar in which a lot of other vehicles of this type is compared. It boasts undeniably impressive on-road capabilities, as well as a decent off-road performance that make it a must-see for SUV connoisseurs. After all, its interior style and comfort is superb, regardless of one's tastes.

Under its hood, it boasts a corporate turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 for its base model: potent yet still worth for its price. It also boasts 300 horsepower as well as 300 pound-feet of twist regardless of whether it has a rear- or all-wheel-drive configuration. As for its next engine up, it is actually two cylinders down with a plug-in hybrid xDrive40e integrated with a 2.0-liter turbo-4 batteries can have a net output of 308 hp.

Its all-electric range is not really that impressive with 14 miles, and its system combining to a 58 mpge rating. However, the all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive40e is not that remarkable as a hybrid, but as an SUV, it is still considered to be one of the most highly-regarded.

Lastly, according to Auto Guide, the 2017 BMW X5 has a lot of interesting surfaces compared to the Jaguar F-Pace, the former's direct competitor in terms of luxury utility vehicles.
