    Hi,
    After a bit of advice. We traded in a Range Rover Sport Hybrid Autobiography for the options of getting 2 cars. 1st car is a BMW 530e and we've had that 4 months, apart from finding out that as of this moment it can't get Android Auto (ID7 lite) it's been more than ok. Not an RRS P400e but neither is the price.

    Now it's time to get that 2nd car. We've had a good dump of snow in Finland and missed the SUV capabilities. Sot the 2nd car is planned to be an SUV.
    SWMBO is gunning for a Seat Tarraco Hybrid. New at 42 000 EUR, altho an X5 Hybrid ticks the boxes for quality and gadgets. This one is 49 000 EUR but is 2016 and has 62000 KM on the clock.

    How good, or poor is the 2016 X5?
    The Seat is a Seat and the minute it leaves the showroom it takes that financial depreciation. But the X5 is 5 years old and has 62 000 on it.....
    This is the link to the X5 (not sure if it will be in English)

    I don't know anything about the X5's but I know I wouldn't buy a Seat instead of one, if only for the residual values. Get a private plate if the age bothers you but the BMW is more expensive for a reason and it has already done it's depreciation.

    Sorry, just my opinion but you have asked on a BMW forum. :rofll:

    Thanks

    Absolutely. I would be leaning towards an X5, looks better, probably better equipped. new of course is always new.
    The BMW forum expertise would also be about whether the 2016 X5 is a decent model / engine. Any issues to look out for.
