BMW X5 Engine & Exterior: Make a Statement

When it comes to peppy, athletic power, the BMW X5 does it all. Its standard 3L BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine delivers 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with an 8-speed Sport automatic transmission and Dynamic Stability Control to conquer every road.

With a luxury SAV like the X5, you want to make a statement around every corner. Choose your model from four different trim levels, including an electrified X5. Pick a classic exterior color like Alpine White or Black Sapphire Metallic or go for Phytonic Blue Metallic to add a splash of color.

The X5 includes an Engine Start/Stop button to make travel as convenient as possible for you. Add the available Remote Engine Start, and you can listen to the engine roar to life from anywhere.

BMW X5 Interior: Luxurious Cabin Comforts

As you step into the cabin of the BMW X5, you’ll instantly sink into the SensaTec upholstery, which boasts a smooth leather feel, perfect for any weather. Start your vehicle, and the Advanced Vehicle & Key Memory system will automatically set your most recent climate control settings, mirror positions, lighting, and radio settings, so you can easily pick up where you left off.

While you zip around your favorite parts of the city in this midsize SAV, you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out in the cabin. Here’s a closer look at all the space that awaits you:

• Headroom (front/rear)—40.8 inches/38.7 inches
• Legroom (front/rear)—39.8 inches/37.4 inches
• Shoulder room (front/rear)—60 inches/58.1 inches

If all seven seats are occupied, you’ll have 33.9 cubic feet of cargo space to use. Utilize the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats, and you’ll open a maximum of 72.3 cubic feet of cargo space.

BMW X5 Technology: Stay Safe & Connected

Whether you’re off to work, running errands, or taking on a new adventure, the BMW X5 features the technology and driver-assistance to keep you safe and connected. The BMW iDrive 7 Operating System includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so you can access all your smartphone apps and keep the music going.

Active Driving Assistant includes the following standard safety features:

• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Frontal Collision Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Speed Limit Information

You’re guaranteed to cross busy roads while driving through the city, which is why the X5 has several available safety features, too. The Available Driving Assistance Professional Package, for example, includes Extended Traffic Jam Assistant and Automatic Lane Change to help you navigate those roads.
