Press Kit BMW X5

Introducing the X5, BMW is once again creating a new segment: the Sports
Activity Vehicle (SAV). Like other BMWs, the X5 is defined first and
foremost by aesthetic design, dynamic performance, and superior safety
as classical BMW fortes. But at the same time it adds an entirely new
driving experience provided by the commanding seating position and
excellent driving behaviour on all roads and tracks the world over.
Featuring a unitary body and independent suspension, the X5 sets new
standards in terms of dynamic performance and safety for vehicles also
able to look good on rough tracks and rocky terrain. In technical
terms, you might call it a passenger car specially developed for this
new market, combining the most advanced four-wheel-drive technology
with driving and comfort features typical of BMW.
