The smallest options measure 20 inches in diameter. The X5′s clean interior layout is driver-focused, lending it a sportier feel than you might expect from a two-tonne SUV. Everything is impeccably well-screwed together, too. It doesn’t feel as bespoke as the Audi, however, with too many components borrowed from lower in the BMW range. The Q7’s wide, flowing dash looks clear, is free from confusing arrays of buttons, and every surface is trimmed in the finest quality materials.

In all forms, it delivers a surprisingly agile drive with little evidence of the body roll you often get from this type of vehicle. Owners of old X5s will be pleased to discover the firm ride has been softened - the latest version is impressively comfortable on long journeys, and road and wind noise is muffled inside.
