Specifications. 15. Exterior and Interior Dimensions. 16. Output and
Torque Diagrams. Its predecessor was the trendsetter creating a
brand-new segment in the market. And now the new BMW X5 is raising the
driving experience in a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) to an even higher
level. Powerful eight- and six-cylinder engines, BMW xDrive permanent
all-wheel drive once again enhanced to an even higher standard, and a
brand-new suspension optimised from the ground up give the new model
supreme agility and driving dynamics. The new V8 power unit develops
maximum output of 261 kW/355 hp, and the new six-cylinder inline engine
with its magnesium/ aluminium composite crankcase offers 200 kW/272 hp.
The large and highly versatile interior of the new BMW X5 offers maximum
function and space for up to seven occupants. And at the same time,
thanks to innovative features and equipment as well as high-class
finish, the interior ensures exclusivity of the same calibre and
standard as a luxury performance saloon. The new BMW X5 is the first
SAV in the world available with Active Steering, AdaptiveDrive
(anti-roll stabilisation and adaptive dampers) as well as a Head-Up
Display, and comes as standard on runflat safety tyres. Offering
enhanced dynamics and an even higher standard of all-round supremacy,
the new BMW X5 is continuing the victorious success of a truly
exceptional vehicle concept. When introducing the former model, the
first X5, BMW set up and established the brand-new segment of the SAV
Sports Activity Vehicle. As a spacious, luxurious, versatile and, at
the same time, robust premium car offering excellent qualities through
its electronically controlled all-wheel drive and superior driving
dynamics for venturing out on rough terrain, the BMW X5 hit the
headlines right from the start. And the success of this strategy is
clearly reflected by more than 580,000 units sold worldwide in the meantime.
