Just as it did earlier last week with the 4-Series Coupe, BMW uploaded an artistically shot promo of its all-new 2014 X5, showing the third-generation of its so-called “Sports Activity Vehicle” (SAV) in various environments.

While we’re not sure if the new X5 has the type of design that grows on you, having the car pose in a video like this certainly helps. The video is shot on various locations, including an urban environment, country and mountain roads, and contains some spectacular scenery.

The BMW X5 may be one of the best SUVs on the asphalt, but when it comes to off-road capabilities; it is not the most appropriate vehicle, to put it delicately. The video doesn’t try to fight this perception, with the X5 only tackling a dry and level gravel road, plus a snow-covered mountain road in the end.

To summarize, if you’re still undecided whether you like the new BMW X5 or not, the video below may help you make up your mind.
