Here are six standout SUVs from which to choose if you’re looking for a new ride this holiday season. BMW X5 Price range: $67,000-$90,000 MPG: 23 city/27 highway 0 to 60 mph: 5.3 seconds Cargo space: 72.3 cu.
ft. WHAT’S TO LIKE: With a base model nudging $70,000, the midsize BMW X5 costs a pretty penny. Yet this dream machine offers a choice of boffo engines, exciting handling and enticing features.
Four trim levels, including a plug-in hybrid and gnarly M60i (a V8-powered ride that costs—yikes!—$20,000 more but scoots from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds).
Spacious, too, with oodles of room. And if you’re jonesing for glitz, there’s a glass-trimmed shifter that looks like real crystal, massaging seats, panoramic roof with embedded LED lighting, rear window shades and more.
