Pacificas have good handling characteristics too, 0.87g or better in some reviews and a Toyota Sienna SE handles well also but that's not the point. The point is the people concerned with packing in 3 rows of people and about hybrids/gas mileage probably are also not testing the limits of the handling or driving dynamics but choose a luxury SUV bc of a fear of how they are perceived by others if seen in a minivan. The vehicles dimensions and shapes are obviously changing to accommodate some of these buyers not just the enthusiasts.

Interesting side note: In checking cars.com, there are about 16,000 new and used X5's for sale in the US right now. Of those, 639 are listed as having the third row seat, or about 1 in 25. |

I currently have a Mercedes GLC 300, looking to trade in for a potential BMW X5 plug-in hybrid. Do guys have any recommendations? How is this compared to a Q7 (read that a plug in version was coming for it as well)?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank You. |

Although this thread has pictures of the new hybrid version — with the charger door on the left-front clearly visible — a sales rep emailed today: “What I heard from my BMWNA rep is that BMWAG will skip the Hybrid and come out with full electric in the X5 some time end of next year.”

I don't think they will be coming out with a fully electric version anytime soon. For me personally, a car with 50 miles of electric range and to have the option of gas as well is ideal! I'm hoping a car manufacturer can achieve this in the near future. |

while unconfirmed, according to the unveiling of the 45e today....the answer is no. But the new figures are amazing. The e-range is 50 miles and the ICE is a 3.0L turbo 6

don't hold your breath. I had a preview of the X7 last week in Monterey. The 3rd row is about the size of the last gen Audi Q7 3rd row. It's tiny, though it does have power folding 2nd row captain chairs though.
I say the best PHEV SUV in the business is still the XC90 T8. Thats' probably what I'll buy at this point.
