The new BMW X5

BMW’s optimally enhanced xDrive intelligent four-wheel drive technology ensures superior dynamics both on and off-road. An extended choice of driver assistance systems underlines the innovative character of the new BMW X5. With these versatile qualities, it presents itself as a modern,  further updated development of the Sports Activity Vehicle concept, which was established in 1999 with the launch of the first-generation BMW X5.

The design: Clear focus on enhanced sporting characteristics.

The BMW X5’s bodywork design is characterised by harmonious proportions, expressing both the powerful elegance and agility of the vehicle. The newly interpreted design vocabulary typical of BMW X models comprises above all the structure of the front apron and the position of the standard fog lamps, as well as a redesigned rear apron adopting the structure of the front end.

An increase in the percentage of front and rear end surfaces painted in body colour emphasises the on-road characteristics of the BMW X5, thereby reflecting the vehicle’s higher level of sportiness.

The engine range: Increased power output, optimised efficiency.

A completely revised engine range ensures that the BMW X5 will continue
to strengthen its leading role as the most dynamic vehicle in its segment.
The range comprises a V8 and a straight six-cylinder petrol power unit featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo and direct injection, as well as two versions of the latest generation of BMW six-cylinder diesel engines. Power output ranges from 180 kW to 300 kW.

In spite of significantly improved performance, fuel consumption and emission levels have been reduced by up to 10 percent, compared to their predecessors.

An eight-speed automatic transmission also contributes towards enhancing the efficiency, dynamics and motoring comfort of the new BMW X5.
