The car that invented the “coupé SUV” as a mainstream body style: an X5 underneath, with a lower, sloped roofline that traded boot space and rear headroom for a shape no other maker was selling in 2008.[1] It launched with room for four rather than five, gained a fifth seat as an option in 2011, and has stayed in production across three generations despite a critical reception that has never quite warmed to the idea: Top Speed called the second generation “the uglier brother of the X5” on its 2019 redesign.
