I used to be a fan of TopGear. Now I am a fan of Matt Watson.

[@alirezazadeh]

I used to be a fan but now i am an air conditionner

[@MrCoconutv3]

lmao

[@o2i3u5klwerh8]

+Rameez Ahmed i used to be a Renault Megane, but now i am Mercedes A Class!

[@James-qz1wd]

It's 'Mat' not 'Matt'.

[@mha2263]

I used to be an audi R8 V10 Plus, now I'm a lamborghini huracan because I get more attention and I'm better looking and more expensive than my cheaper non identical twin.

[@ma.b.8436]

If the interior of the X5 is outdated, what would you call the interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLE???

[@ihabsuhaib7002]

ma. B. Outdated

[@parveenkaur1412]

ma. B. Horrible

[@jeruelleapigo3642]

[@arielfrancisleathem3280]

[@ThePorscheGTO]

this is a great channel for car reviews, very straight out to the point.

[@carwow]

Thanks!

[@thatboycharlie400]

My dad owns a BMW X5 from 2018 and we all love it

[@vanhakaveri]

"Electrically heated seats" That is good, my car has a boiler.

[@carwow]

We love steam-heated seats…

[@SoccerBoi500]

Been riding around in a 2016 X5 M Sport the past couple days. Definitely has some significant tire roar on the 20" wheels. Cabin quality is great, seats are pretty comfy and infinitely adjustable, and the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system is phenomenal. It's pretty fast too, had no problem passing lol

[@adriandiaz1636]

Which engine?

[@NZsarge1]

Cool review, I do think you're a bit harsh on the dashboard design though. You're right, don't bother with the hybrid, go straight to the 3.0 turbo diesel

[@rubenito84]

5:45. Nice arms

[@Srdj0ne]

Just checking my lottery results... nope... carry on watching this guy and dream about some nice cars

[@Rostinhi]

sergi du Try living in Norway. Here this starts at 75 000£. Pretty stripped. Most of them ends up around 90k. 😩

[@trivlsntranhuu6178]

The X5 starts at 150.000 $ in Vietnam. (Don’t know the price exchange to pounds (: )

[@2013branth]

That's in USD right? Because if that's Dong, sign me up.

[@slobodanmarkovic4079]

In Srbija on mozzart bet who score the biggest total odd till 24.12.2018 will get x5!WISH ME LUCK.

[@arielfrancisleathem3280]

Here in Australia it starts at $120,000 aud which is 60,000 pounds

[@SeemsLegal]

Audi Q7 e-tron and Volvo XC90 t8 comparison video please

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

Matt! Reply please! You're the best reviews for consumer vehicles in the net! Love your work! No one matches fun and information like you!

[@carwow]

Thanks you're too kind

[@sbomorse]

I'd much rather have the XC90 T8

[@scemer3000]

I've got a used 2018 bmw x5, best deal of my life for 38k. I've never had any problems. Pretty good car I must say

[@electricbreeze]

£38,000 for a used 2018 X5 M Sport sounds a little steep! I have the same (2018) with the 30d xDrive engine. I'm assuming you bought yours with low mileage and maybe the 40d or 50d engine?

[@marinorossi4594]

@ieatworkable 2018 m sport 3.0 every extra 45k on the clock from BMW 32k.. shocking service from stratstone but it was a very cheap car

[@d0718]

Thanks for an awesome review as usual! Is there a 718 boxster/cayman review anywhere along the pipe? :) P.S. Ann Summers gear shift LOL

[@Curryolla]

In my quest for a new luxury SUV, I drove the BMW X5 xDrive40e, RX 450h, Mercedes GLE 350 and Volvo XC90 T8. Decided to go with the RX hybrid. Great review!

[@motodxb]

always fun to watch.. the other annoying feature with BMW cars "I've got one" is that you need to press the "P" button on the center console every time you need the park sensor to work, annoying as i use it every day when i pull into the garage, other German rivals have it on permanently and you turn it off in those rare occasions when you don't need i.e car wash etc.

[@Memories-_]

Beautiful, amazing and reliable car

[@nurbsenvi]

Dezz9820 reliable?

[@u9477]

RandomTechS@#T reliable for the duration of the warranty

[@aidenp5768]

No it is reliable the reports of anything is very low and I have a 2014 X5 F15 35i and nothing absolutely nothing happened yet a few oil changes and gas money that's it completely honest too.

[@kylekeenan3485]

Just bought an X5 and saved £6550 using carwow offers to haggle. Originally I was getting just £1000 off from the dealer so this channel and it's website are outstanding. £5550 pound extra saving!!! Thanks Mat and the team I love your videos.

[@electricbreeze]

Are you still working for carwow?

[@Ashley_van_Schooneveld]

So excited I am part trading my 2013 X5 for a newer second hand 2018 X5

[@prabeeshsidhu]

How has it treated you?!

[@seanmcelligott279]

I like how the boot door doesn't beep or wait a few seconds before opening or closing it just gets on with it

[@christopherjonathan8693]

Great video Matt. On an interesting side, I do love the design of the interior of the X5 where it is very minimalist with a Scandinavian tone. For me, it is the best interior out of its rival (GLE, RX, and Q7). Anyway, everyone has their own opinions.

[@dr.armanassadi5736]

The BMW interior is exactly what I like about it. Simplicity, practicality and somewhat luxury, so stop calling it "a bit dated"! Also, the BMW gear lever is the most beautiful in the market! When it is about taste, just leave it to individuals to decide for themselves!

[@shebysobreruedas]

Matt has a great accent, to my liking. And an amazing way to review cars. Great channel.

[@aidenp5768]

Man the x5 has started it all , I'm BMW fan today because of the original e53 , and the brand new 2019 4th gen spy shots looks disappointing , doesn't look buff and strong also the new one looses the famous rear side window it will be like the x3s rear side window just sad 😔

[@umair___1]

Looks good to me

[@kam8361]

This review made me buy the x40e thanks to Matt!

[@Mat.Carvalho]

Awesome video, Mat, as always.

[@DatingForRealYoutubeChannel]

Yes, a good one. :)

[@curtain561]

Tbh most of the negative things about the car was associated with being a hybrid, overall great car, practical, luxuries and handles great for an suv

[@rishabhbhatti8783]

first time 3 thumbs up for back seat...isnt it guys?

[@stizzy7078]

Idk about anyone but that Interior is so good with that analog speedometer just so good

[@ethanmees2618]

my dream car, you did a review on carbuyer. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!

[@joshsymons7524]

Interior is awesome on these.. although do note that if you’ve got the 7 seater you can slide the base and adjust the backrest on the rear seats

[@curtain561]

Matt, the link for Practicality video is the same as the info entertainment link

[@SergiuYojja]

Interior Its not old it’s just perfect in every way

[@senseihEnRY16]

i always love the X5 but that fog lamp position is just weird, why not integrate it with that large lower grille on the bumper?

[@rogerhaisley4628]

The interior is definitely better than the one in the merc. I absolutely love it. The colour in that one is boring. Go for a saddle brown and ivory white color combo with high-gloss wood trim and you'll see how beautiful the X5 interior is.

[@BorderlineBenny]

Haha, just came across this video. Can't believe carwow is this old. And I can't believe you look so young Mat 😂

[@logcabins8258]

Best reviewing car channel ever

[@gabrielbohorquez6000]

it would be amazing to see a comparisson between the x5, audi q7,range rover sport and mercedes gle dont you think?

[@sharminimuthiah2284]

not q7 q8!

[@thehauke7981]

That thing looks so good!

[@Damayn]

I don't like the black grills at the bottom of where the headlights are makes it look cheap and basic for a hybrid model..

[@bobhammer30]

Best car reviewer!!!!

[@footballgeorgiebest]

The new 2018 X5 should have a more updated cabin as it will be an all new car. However, the new 5 series was revealed this week and it's cabin is not a radical departure from this X5's. Just BMW styling I guess.

[@lloydsoanes864]

I love the channel and the reviews. I have an X5 and have been told by a BMW main dealer workshop controller of 26 years of experience that the X5 eats tyres. It's due to the suspension set up. The rear tyres wear on the extreme inner edges and can go down to the canvas but the rest of the tyre has 4 to 5 mm left on it. Similarly the fronts wear on the extreme outer edges. Guess what BMW UK deny all knowledge of this. I spent £700 on a set of rear tyres. Not very happy.

[@prabeeshsidhu]

Very true, does your car also have the staggered set up? I feel that affects it too. I was interested in the x5 with the m body kit but the tyres seem expensive

[@Zeczam]

You didn't the 4 options are the end. Should you avoid it, consider it, shortlist it, or buy it.

[@sangayetamang1482]

Mat you are the best car reviewer

[@chelseafc8126]

2014, 16K Miles, $50,000 (after negotiation), 50i, very well-loaded.... Worth it?

[@TheSpanky122]

ChelseaFC !!! Very

[@mukulbajaj123]

BMW X5 '2018'? Video says it was uploaded 2 years ago..

[@dimitris.p.kepenos]

Great video, especially I like the 360 degrees reviews. You don't see many use that tech.

[@gurdipsidhu5984]

I think its a typo bc that car is a 2015 model registered between late 2014 and early 2015 hence the 65

[@satnamsohal4872]

Very nice Reviews Matt Watson carry on brother

[@nikandis3835]

In Australia , the x5 40e comes standard with the M suspension

[@rporther]

Two things that " seem " to be odd about X5 models and that is the diesel rattle. Many are driven in my country and at idle these engines make me wonder if the cost of the car is justified by superb insulation. It really makes a racket. Secondly, the sheer size of the tires! It looks even more grotesque on the X6. The basis for the tire size is??? Looks? Gives the feeling of a design a child would do for his impression of a "powerful monster car". They however appear quite popular so I'd hate to think it's because the Joneses' own one.

[@Tomoyo0827]

Now is probably the best time to buy a demo or dealer used X5 before it gets facelifted in late 2019 or early 2020, its so cheap compared to the similar models and you can sell it right before the new model come out and save money.

[@MarushDenchev]

I'd love it if you make review of the new Ford Escape (Kuga in Europe). It looks very cool!

[@OscarLeeMX]

I think I'm the only one that prefers touchscreen infotainment systems to the iDrive. It's really a hassle to enter addresses with the wheel even with handwriting recognition.

[@carwow]

We find iDrive much easier to use on the move - but we've yet to find a handwriting recognition system that doesn't make your writing look like that of a toddler who's had too much Red Bull

[@OscarLeeMX]

I'm having trouble with navigating the menus and entering addresses on my BMW because it's difficult to remember where all the shortcut keys are. I have a Volvo with a touchscreen/button system that's much easier to use when on the move. But to each his own I guess.

[@fxevery1]

well done! btw you mentioned the roadnoise and wind noise , seems audi q7 does that better ...

[@kungsvea]

Always good reviews :) Asked about it before, please tell us the fuel-economey in liter also so we in the rest of Europe can understand ;)

[@Kev50027]

With smaller wheels and the sunroof shade closed, the X5 is one of the quietest in the class according to other reviewers.

[@Aydin1690]

i love the bmw vids i own a bmw x5 2018 but wait whats the doueg score

[@nithishjvj8736]

This car is solely made with import taxes in mind You’re only paying tax for the 2L petrol engine instead of a S6 But getting this gets you S6 power, better economy and lower maintenance costs The 2L diesel has emission taxes which costs 30Million LKR, 30d and 35i for their sizes cost 45million LKR+ The PHEV on the other hand costs just under 30million LKR, relative Value isn’t it. You can get used ones now in during the pandemic (when imports are stopped temporarily) for 19+ million LKR which is one damn deal here

[@fahmiriza7810]

The Gordon Ramsay of cars reviewer!

[@j.p.8595]

mat has been hitting the gym

[@VarunSagar20]

2017 Q7 vs this one .. a review will be highly appreciated

[@レム-b7l5x]

Varun Sagar A Q7 is a bigger and higher-class model than an x5 mate...

[@shantavel5478]

Its not higher class model, stop talking bullshit please..

[@ericzhu8160]

did you get your phone battery pack back? :D nice review, packed with info and entertaining

[@MegaGecas]

Was the first car you locked it while leaving it?

[@supertar_3967]

Carwow when will u be doing the BMW x6 2017?

[@russcattell955i]

I got news for you, fog lights do not illuminate 300 meters away. that is the job for high beam.

[@stuartcraigon2003]

That split tailgate is ridiculous! It gets in the way and when it doesn’t you’ll get caked in the shite that’s all over it from the road!

[@muhamedtrakic7472]

Great review as always..

[@carwow]

Cheers MATS. Hang on a second... are you an imposter?

[@muhamedtrakic7472]

+carwow No im not..i just picked random name long time ago..

[@vaibhavchaudhary27]

+carwow LOL 😂

[@iantownsend5480]

Mat any chance we can see another review of your Mx5 damn I love that car

[@technik333]

Thanks for the review, very entertaining! The F15 X5 does starting to age surprisingly even though it has only been on the market since 2014.

[@curtain561]

*2013

[@TheJoeMB]

This particular example looks pretty good. This new shape can be hit or miss with the styling.

[@ZigZag9639]

Love to rent one of these SUVs one day in Australia.

[@eganleong95]

As always, thank you once again to Matt for delivering another excellent review and very nice timing on the release of this video. Recently, BMW Malaysia has introduced this exact model which costs way lesser than the normal x5 due to Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) incentives. My dad is dying to get one however my sister is extremely put off by its styling. Will it's Driving dynamics win over the other faults of the vehicle? We also currently own an Evoque, how does that compare to the X5?

[@Horizon301.]

The x5 hybrid is shocking and no one buys it, only a idiot would the Q7 Etron is not much more then the normal one and it gets 140mpg where as this has a claimed mpg of something like 50

[@rizkyp]

Better get the diesel more fun and efficient without that over complicated hybrid systems.

[@MasterAppels]

The small lights at the front spoils the look for me.

[@AdamAus85]

Not flashy like a merc in there but still very lovely and handsome. You'd be more likely to find a hard plastic in the merc.

[@graphguy]

How about reliability, Consumer Reports only give it an 'average' for reliability, with repairs being pricey.

[@MrBenjaminSebastian311]

Thanks Matt !

[@vigorousfear5677]

Any upcoming reviews about some new Škoda cars?

[@marco168888]

Will there be a new facelift coming out soon? I'm thinking of buying one

[@zoppp621]

marco168888 new model is coming out within the next 2 years.

[@kageroboi]

In my country this x5 3.5i and the latest x3 3.0i has the same price, which one to choose?

[@enesalkovicguitar]

GLE vs X5 vs XC90 vs Q7??? Should we expect that?

[@user-qo6fu6vv4w]

Even if I had the money I would buy the 2011 model it's amazing

[@Birdie_]

6:31 did it brake by itself?

[@AdamAus85]

I'm thinking it was put in P, but hard brake wasn't engaged. Or just BMW thing, as my hand brake doesn't do a thing, lol.

[@C0DFR3AK11]

All cars with autos do this

[@ism381]

For the noisy at high speed i spend 1.490.000 USD thousand to replace all the door seal wheather strip & trim with out any change Its really disappointed..

[@clnred]

are you doing the new x5 hybrid

[@DeadshotNo1]

I am thinking of buying a 2014 X5, it has only done 5000km and it is in great condition, what are the differences between 2,3 years?

[@francesvillaflor3032]

Deadshot 101 o8klgtrsfgvhjhggfdrsoiuutdđlpop

[@cmartin_ok]

..... but it's the size of a small barn. Who needs (or wants) to drive around in a small barn all the time? It's enormous

[@firstime911]

Please review two cars Subaru wrx sti and GLE500E Thank you very much

[@ahmedjamal1102]

Can you review bmw x4 2018 when it is available

[@rjassel6796]

Anyone recommend this hybrid version ? I have read you need to charge it for 5 hours and that gives you a realistic 12 miles if you are lucky on electric.

[@ClassicalMusicOnline]

Is it a glacier silver metallic?

[@JonMcG]

Question .... You say the rear split tail gate can hold up to 250kg's ? Im in the process of buying an X5 and the sales man tells me no more than 80kg

[@carwow]

+John jsmit I would trust the salesman...

[@JonMcG]

Lol thanks . P.s great review .

[@myvolvoforlife]

Volvo XC90 T8 plug in hybrid. Faster, more powerful, more electric range, better fuel economy, 7 seats, bigger boot, individually adjustable middle row and a reversing camera as standard kit. Plus it is cheaper and better looking.

[@nali2190]

bmw x5 (2018) or volvo xc60 (2018) . Wich one should i buy?

[@prabeeshsidhu]

I’m in the same boat , xc90 will have a longer warranty but I’m thinking of going for the bmw diesel for Better gas mileage

[@ronaldrainero5579]

This is a diesel and plug in engine?

[@AC_Blanco]

X5 was circling drain for quite some time now.
