BMW X5 sDrive40i
Blue · Black interior · Gloss
The X5 is BMW's most sensible good idea: a tall, comfortable five-seat SUV that still drives like a BMW once the road opens up. This one is the rear-drive sDrive40i with the turbocharged inline-six — smooth, unhurried and happy to cover valley distances all day. Blue over black, and genuinely relaxing when the plan involves four people, luggage and a long stretch of the 101.

What makes it special
- Turbocharged inline-six: enough in reserve to merge and pass without ever sounding strained
- Five seats and a proper boot — the pick when a coupe cannot carry the day
- Rear-wheel drive sDrive40i, the lighter-footed X5, and well suited to dry Arizona roads
Worth knowing
The X5 arrived in 1999 as BMW's first SUV, and the company refused to call it one — it was badged a Sports Activity Vehicle, a term BMW still uses today.
Your Arizona experience
A day trip north to Sedona with the family, or airport runs and dinner reservations when everyone needs to arrive in the same vehicle.
