I still believe BMW makes the best petrol engines. Plus, I would consider (well, not to buy, but for comparison) a Q5 based on comfort, luxury, and design while still maintaining good driving dynamics.
The strongest motor for the model range will be the 3.0TDI model, but I'm guessing that's going to be pricey. The motor I would pick would be the 2.0 TDI, which makes around 170PS, yet sips only 6,7/100km of diesel fuel. For US comparison purposes, our 3.0si X3 consumes 9.7l.100km. (The Q5 2.0TDI is on par with the X3 2.0d in terms of consumption.)
