BMW X5 (2010 / 2011) Revealed

The BMW X5 2010 / 2011 Facelift Update: We now have high-res pictures and UK details and prices for the 2010/2011 BMW X5. I know, to us in the UK – and Europe for that matter – this is the 2010 BMW X5. But for readers on the other side of the Pond this is the 2011 BMW X5 as it won’t start hitting the roads until later this year.

Ssangyong e-XIV EV Concept at Paris 2012

Ssangyong are continuing their concept offensive with the e-XIV EV Concept, a range extender compact SUV. Mahindra seem intent on turning Ssangyong from the Lada of Korea in to another South Korean car maker to be taken seriously. We’ve recently seen a big push for the Korando SX, with Ssangyong pitching it hard against the competition as the cheapest way in to a compact SUV, and at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year we had a concept pointing to the next generation compact SUV from Ssangyong with the convertible Ssangyong XIV-2.

Following close on the heels of the Provo came the Kia CUB for the Seoul Motor Show (note the cuddly name – Kia didn’t want to shoot themselves in the foot again) which, although entirely convincing, just looked like yet another urban warrior compact crossover/SUV.
