James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Six-cylinder diesel is a beauty
- Comfort-focused drive is plush
- Updated tech works well
Misses
- $30,000 dearer than equivalent X5
- Still needs (expensive) options ticked
- Cabin execution feels underdone

Misses
- Still an awkward looker
- Options play too much of a role here
- Fiddly two-step boot lip
