The new BMW X5
With powerful eight- and six-cylinder engines, BMW xDrive permanent all-wheel drive enhanced to an even higher standard, and a brand-new suspension optimised from the ground up, the new model displays supreme agility and driving dynamics. The new V8 power unit develops maximum output of 261 kW, the new six-cylinder inline engine with its magnesium/ aluminium composite crankcase offers 200 kW, and the new all-aluminium straight-six diesel with third-generation common rail fuel injection churns out a superior 160 kW.
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 features fourth generation Runflat tyres as standard.
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 the company introduced the former model, the first X5, BMW set up and established the brand-new segment of the SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. As a spacious, luxurious, versatile and robust premium car – with excellent driving qualities thanks to its electronically controlled all-wheel drive and superior driving dynamics on both tarmac and rough terrain – the BMW X5 hit the headlines right from the start; clearly reflected by more than 610,000 units sold worldwide.
Driving dynamics typical of BMW – unique in the SAV segment.
Throughout its entire production cycle, the first SAV in the world was able to maintain its status as a benchmark in driving dynamics. Now, introducing the new BMW X5, BMW’s drivetrain and suspension specialists have lifted the yardstick of performance, agility, dynamics and suspension comfort to an even higher level.
