A big car like the x5 (or the mentioned xc90) should have a proper drivetrain. Less stressed for longer hassle-free life. To me, buying a kiosk on wheels with anything less than 6 cylinders is like making love with 3 rubbers on. You get the extra safety, but would you really sacrifice the rest?

Forget the hybrid, get a 3.0 liter diesel.
I don't know if I agree with the post, not enough information yet, but I do know the analogy was funny
