There’s much to love about the luxe midsize 2023 BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Car and Driver rates this new X5 class an impressive 9.5 out of 10! Keep reading to discover what’s especially impressive and enjoyable about this comfy, techy, versatile ride!
1. Powerful Performance
No matter which of the four X5 trim levels you choose, you get a robust powertrain. The sDrive40i and the xDrive40i provide a twin-turbocharged inline-six 335-horsepower engine, while the M50i model has a V-8 twin-turbocharged 523-horsepower version. Thanks to its efficient battery pack, the plug-in hybrid xDrive45e can run on electric power for up to 30 miles. Its turbocharged inline-six engine and electric motor combine to create 389 horsepower.
BMW drivers love the fun driving and handling of these SAVs. The xDrive40i goes from zero to 60 miles per hour (MPG) in under five seconds – typically between 4.7 to 4.8 seconds. The 2023 M50i BMW X5 can hit 60 mpg in less than four seconds.
2. Upscale Interior
Comfortable cabin touches, including well-made leather or vegan-leather seating, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone climate controls, are standard in every X5 model. Power-adjustable, heated front seats with bolstered support and a memory driver seat are also standard.
Ample Cargo Space
The standard rear seats are un-bolstered, and the first and second-row seats comfortably fit adults. You’ll discover that luggage galore fits easily behind the second row, even when the seats are occupied. With the rear seats folded, the storage room more than doubles.
3. Maximum Versatility
The BMW X5 earns a lot of driver adoration for its all-around appeal. Whether for daily drives or weekend getaways, this vehicle is a flexible choice for people on the move. A 6,600-pound towing capacity is standard, or you can up that limit to 7,200 pounds by selecting the factory-installed hitch option.
The eight-speed auto transmission in all trim levels means solid driving performance, whether for traction during a tight turn or extra stability while towing to capacity. The X5’s highly-rated air suspension system adds appreciated smoothness to its ride quality. You can charge the hybrid xDrive45e model at public stations at 220 volts or at home at 110 volts.
4. Advanced Technology
Gadget-loving BMW fans will be satisfied with the array of buttons on the X5’s center console. In addition, there are menus, voice controls, and driver aids to help you understand the excellent navigation system. Top-quality standard safety features include rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring. The standard responsive infotainment software includes Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a 12.3-inch display monitor.
5. Premium Options
The Premium Package is an attractive add-on for the 2023 X5. It includes a head-up display, a Harman Kardon sound system, a remote engine start, and four-zone auto climate control. You may also want to opt for extras like a surround-view parking assist camera, a wireless smartphone charging pad, a leather dash and steering wheel, semi-auto driving, and massaging seats.
