THE new BMW X5 aims to drive the German marque forward and set new standards with its revamped design features. Since its inception, the BMW X5 has been the market leader in the Sports Activity Vehicle segment and one of BMW’s best-selling model series accounting for almost a third of all BMW models sold globally, the company says.
This third generation BMW X5 is available with a choice of new suspension packages including Adaptive Suspension Comfort, Dynamic, Professional and Adaptive M Suspension, all of which provide enhanced ride comfort.
The new model’s design combines the X hallmark characteristics with the power, presence and sportiness of classic BMW models. An expressive front-end with twin circular headlights extending into the new broad-set kidney grille; an elegantly stretched silhouette and a new distinctive rear add to its appeal.
Inside is just as impressive thanks to a selection of high quality available trims including atmospheric lighting options.
In terms of infotainment, the third-generation model leaves little to be desired, its makers say. The BMW iDrive controller features a new touch sensitive controller for intuitive and convenient operations of the iDrive system. Instead of having to scroll for letter input, users can now write letters on the surface of the iDrive controller.
Under the bonnet is a 450bhp V8 petrol engine, which is 10 per cent more powerful than the outgoing model. The Driving Experience Control switch is fitted as standard with Comfort, Dynamic and Professional adaptive suspension packages and Adaptive M suspension, which can be specified to enhance the car’s sporty handling properties and ride comfort. Joining the BMW X5 xDrive50i in February 2014 will be the BMW X5 xDrive35i 306bhp engine.
Prices start from BD35,000.
