The X5 xDrive40i is the executive's answer to Georgia's varied map: 340 hp, 5.5 seconds to a hundred, and xDrive grip that treats a Batumi downpour as a footnote.
The X5 xDrive40i is what most luxury SUVs are trying to be when they grow up. The 340 hp straight-six is smooth at breakfast and quick when asked, 5.5 seconds to a hundred, and the cabin takes five people and their luggage without anyone negotiating for space. xDrive does its work silently, which is the point.
Georgia rewards exactly this kind of competence: Tbilisi during the week, the climb to Gudauri on Saturday, a Batumi downpour on the way back reduced to a footnote. Delivery to the airport, full insurance, winter tyres in season. Rent a BMW X5 in Georgia and stop planning around the weather.
There is a calm confidence to the way the 2022 X5 xDrive40i moves: the TwinPower Turbo engine produces 340 hp, 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.5 seconds, and the xDrive all-wheel drive keeps all of it usable on wet cobbles as well as dry motorway. BMW X5 rental in Georgia starts from $200 per day, with full insurance included in the rate and the choice to drive yourself or book the car with a driver.
Few cars suit this country better. The X5 sits high enough to shrug off broken asphalt on the way to Kazbegi, yet it settles into a quiet 243 km/h capable cruiser once the Georgian Military Highway straightens out. In winter, xDrive turns the climb to Gudauri into routine rather than an event, and five adults travel with their luggage and their patience intact.
