Just bought one for Mrs. Beard a month ago.






Interior is well setup. Still learning my way around after 11 years with the X5.

I really like the 2.0 Turbo. In the "sport" mode it kicks in quite quickly. I might dial it back to normal or economy for Mrs. Beard.
The hatchback is adjustable so that the buttons don't go out of reach for Mrs. Beard
Multiple users can be setup for the car, beyond the seat/mirror settings.
I would definitely opt for the warm Weather package", as it is the ventilated seats.

Choice came down to two cars, a Silver Prestige or the Blue Premium Plus S. The options were the same. Price was the same. The Prestige includes a lot of options as standard. It also has special noise reducing glass and the heads-up display.

Size wise, it is a little bit smalerl than the X5. But not functionally. I sat in the backseat without issues. Not sure I'd put my 6'5" business partner in there.

Oh, and it is a hybrid. Not a full hybrid, but it has a small battery to run the Air Conditioning when the engine shuts down.
