It's got tons of power, it'll give you around 40 miles of electric-only driving, and it gives up little if any versatility to its siblings in the X5 lineup. We're not blown away by its 22-mpg fuel economy, however — the non-hybrid xDrive40i easily beats the PHEV in that category."—Ranked #1 out of 7 Midsize Luxury PHEV SUVs
