PERFORMANCE
The BMW X5 defines performance in a luxury SUV. Whether tackling tight corners or opening up on the highway, every configuration delivers the unmistakable precision of German engineering. It's not just built to move; it's built to lead.
Command from the Core
The engine is the soul of every BMW, and the X5 showcases that legacy with brilliance. Its standard 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine is a masterpiece of precision and muscle. From urban settings to pastoral routes, when you start the engine, the X5 responds with authority.
Horsepower | 375 HP |
---|---|
Torque | 398 lb-ft |
Acceleration (0-60 MPH) | 5.3 sec. |
Top Speed | 130 MPH |
That power is expertly managed by an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission featuring Sport and Manual shift modes. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters invite you to take control, while Launch Control delivers maximum acceleration from a standstill with seamless traction and thrilling confidence.
When it’s time to tame the road, you’re in good hands. Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Damper Control, and Hill Descent Control work in harmony to provide poised, balanced performance, even in tight corners or on challenging terrain.
Track-Bred, Road-Ready
If you crave unrelenting performance, the BMW X5 M Competition is your gateway to the pinnacle of power. Its 4.4L M TwinPower Turbo V8 delivers thrills while dominating the road. With razor-sharp tuning and explosive output, this is an SUV engineered to conquer curves and straightaways alike.
Horsepower | 617 HP |

Paired with an 8-speed M Steptronic Sport transmission with Drivelogic, the X5 M effortlessly adapts to your driving style, whether carving up winding country roads, pushing limits on a closed track, or cruising confidently through congested city streets. Meanwhile, the Active M Differential delivers exceptional traction and cornering grip, transforming every drive into a dynamic experience worthy of the M badge.
DESIGN
The BMW X5 captivates with its sculpted curves, bold proportions, and confident stance that commands attention from every angle. With a wide range of personalization options, you can tailor your X5 to reflect your individual taste. No two are alike because yours should be as distinctive as you are.
Styled to Stand Apart
The X5’s signature twin-kidney grille makes an immediate impression: bold, iconic, and unmistakably BMW. Athletic wheel options, ranging from 20 to 22 inches, enhance its powerful presence. Each wheel design—from V-spoke to Bicolor alloys and beyond—adds its own edge of character and confidence, giving your ride an undeniable X-factor.
As you round the corner and arrive in style, the X5 ensures all eyes are on you. With 11 expressive exterior colors, from deep metallics to high-gloss classics, you can craft a look as bold or refined as you like. Standout shades include:
- Tanzinite Blue II
- Blue Ridge Mountain
- Carbon Black
- Mineral White
- Manhattan Green
Sculpted rear bumpers with integrated dual exhaust outlets add the final touch of distinction. From first glance to last look, the X5 makes a statement and leaves a lasting impression.
Crafted Comfort, Elevated Luxury
Step inside the BMW X5, and you’re immediately surrounded by an atmosphere of refinement. Upholstery choices like Sensafin or rich available Merino Leather paired with elegant trim options, from open-pore wood to high-gloss or matte finishes, make it clear: This cabin is built to cater to your every preference. Power front heated seats with 4-way lumbar, adjustable side bolsters, thigh support, and memory settings provide tailored comfort for every drive.
Luxury is in the details, and the X5 offers available features that enhance every moment behind the wheel:
- Glass Controls
- Ventilated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof
OWhile your senses are indulged, your space needs are met, too. The X5 offers generous room to stretch out, along with ample cargo flexibility: 22.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 66 cubic feet with them folded down. From golf bags and groceries to long weekend luggage, the X5 is built to move more than just people.
TECHNOLOGY
A revolutionary SUV calls for equally forward-thinking technology, and the BMW X5 rises to the occasion. From cutting-edge infotainment to intelligent safety systems, every feature is crafted to elevate your drive while helping keep you and your passengers connected and protected. This is more than luxury; it’s innovation with purpose.
Immersive Tech, Seamless Control
As you take your seat, the BMW Curved Display welcomes you with an elegant sweep of high-resolution screens. The expansive 14.9-inch central display puts intuitive controls within easy reach, while the 12.3-inch digital instrument clusterpresents crisp, customizable driving data. With standard wireless charging and seamless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, your smartphone stays fully powered and perfectly connected.
The BMW Operating System 8.5 gives you multiple ways to interact: touchscreen commands, the refined iDrive touchpad controller, or natural voice prompts that let you speak your needs aloud. However you choose to connect, the experience is effortless.
For audiophiles, the available 16-speaker Harman & Kardon® surround sound system transforms every journey into a listening event. With carefully positioned tweeters and under-seat subwoofers, the X5 brings concert-hall acoustics into the cabin.
Protection, Perfected
The road is unpredictable, but your BMW X5 is always prepared. Every model comes equipped with Active Driving Assistant, a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies designed to keep you focused, protected, and aware of your surroundings at all times:
- Forward Collision Mitigation
- Active Blind Spot Detection
- Lane Keeping Assistant
- Speed Limit Assistant
Beyond these features, the X5 enhances your safety with built-in systems that optimize visibility, assist with parking, and even anticipate potential hazards, taking smart action to reduce harm. And if the unexpected happens, standard BMW Assist eCallâ„¢ with Emergency Request (SOS button) and Enhanced Automatic Collision Notification ensures help is just moments away.
BMW X5 vs. The Competition
Luxury SUVs are built to impress, but the BMW X5 sets itself apart with a commanding presence and elevated driving enjoyment. Compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the X5 offers more horsepower across the lineup, quicker acceleration, and a more responsive feel. Inside, the X5’s available 16-speaker system keeps pace, providing an audio experience as powerful as the drive itself.*
X5 | vs | GLE |
---|---|---|
375 - 617 HP | HORSEPOWER RANGE | 255 – 510 HP |
5.3 sec. | STANDARD ACCELERATION (0-60 MPH) | 6.9 sec. |
16 | MAX SPEAKERS | 13 |
For drivers who want bold style and everyday versatility, the BMW X5 rises to the occasion. It offers more customization with a wider range of paint options, greater cargo capacity for daily errands and weekend escapes alike, and significantly more horsepower for a spirited, dynamic drive. Where the Audi Q8 prioritizes looks, the X5 delivers substance to match its style.*
X5 | vs | Q8 |
---|---|---|
11 | PAINT COLORS | 7 |
66 cubic feet | MAX CARGO VOLUME | 60.7 cubic feet |
617 HP | MAX HORSEPOWER | 335 HP |
A vehicle’s powertrain tells you a lot; in the case of the BMW X5, it signals superior strength and adaptability. Even the XC90’s top configuration can’t match the X5’s base horsepower. With greater towing capacity for trailers, boats, or weekend gear, plus a larger, more intuitive touchscreen, the X5 proves it’s built for drivers who demand more from every mile.*
X5 | vs | XC90 |
