Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Infiniti QX60 is an elegant, and simple, solution for families looking for a luxury crossover.

Pros
Conservative, and classy exterior
Good standard equipment
Spacious second row
Rich and uncluttered interior

Cons
Frustrating optional packages
Advanced safety is an expensive proposition
Aging powertrain
Rear end could use a lift

By: 
thecarconnection.com

For 2018, the QX60 adds Rear Door Alert, a standard feature that can remind drivers of passengers, pets, or objects possibly left behind after switching off the ignition. Sensors can detect if a rear door was opened prior to driving and can issue an alert if a rear door isn't opened at the end of the drive

PROS
Quiet, comfortable cabin makes for a soothing ride
Offers easy access to third-row seats
Smooth transmission operation adds to luxurious feel
Plush ride quality makes long trips enjoyable

CONS
Third-row legroom is tight for adults
Off-road capability isn't part of its formula
Desirable features are all extra and bundled into packages
Not as sporty as some other large luxury SUVs

The 2018 BMW X5 ranked #2 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the BMW X5 has a score of 8.8 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 29 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Lineup of hearty engines

Nimble, stable handling

Cons

By: 
usnews.com

The 2018 BMW X5 remains a thoughtful crossover SUV for families, although enthusiasts may be left wanting unless the right options are selected.

Pros
Wide array of engines available
Roomy, refined interior
Upscale demeanor
Diesel engine reasonably efficient
X5 M is a blast

Cons
Bland style
Light on personality
Optional third row’s a joke
Be prepared to spend big bucks

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Is it possible that the BMW X5 has a better reputation than it deserves? While the first-generation model earned kudos for its lithe dynamics and athletic looks upon its debut as a 2001 model, the subsequent two generations grew larger, more unwieldy, and less BMW-like in their quest to capitalize on the luxury-SUV mania.

Pros
Unimpeachable inline-six,
pleasant interior environment,
intuitive infotainment.

Cons
Ponderous handling,
clunky ride,
pinched third row.
