About this car in Barcelona
A family flying into El Prat with luggage and a taste for speed has few better options than the X5 M. Five seats and a big SUV boot handle the airport run, and the 625 hp V8 turns the motorway up the coast into something more than a transfer. In the centre it is large, so allow for narrow streets in the old town and limited parking in the Eixample.
Its natural trips from Barcelona are the longer ones. North on the C-16 via Berga and through the Cadí tunnel, the Cerdanya opens up around Puigcerdà, with La Molina and Masella for skiing in winter; snow equipment may be needed, so check conditions before setting off. In summer, the coves around Tossa de Mar and Sant Feliu de Guíxols are a day trip with everyone aboard. All-wheel drive and 3.9 seconds to 100 km/h matter less on 120 km/h motorways than the comfort and the overtaking reserve on two-lane roads.
Barcelona is busiest during Mobile World Congress and through high summer, so reserve early if your dates are fixed. The X5 M is delivered to Barcelona-El Prat, Barcelona Sants, the Port de Barcelona or your hotel, with the delivery point agreed when you book. Insurance and assistance around the clock come as standard.
