The new BMW X5 – A pioneering SAV from BMW

Distinctive design with Slim headlights

The exterior elements give the new BMW X5 a more powerful and streamlined appearance. The front of the car features a well-balanced arrangement of headlights and BMW’s signature kidney grille. The headlight cluster has a thinner border of less than 35 mm, while the daytime running lights in the shape of an arrow serve as the indicator lights for the car. The Adaptive LED lighting system with BMW Selective Beam anti-glare feature comes as a standard inclusion.

The design enhancements of the new BMW X5 include a flat front air intake, vertically positioned air vents, and air intake slots. The rear LED lights and brake lights feature prominent contours. The 3D-shaped L-shaped LED taillights create an X shape when the two taillights are combined.

Curved Display interior with digital cockpit

The integration of digital technology in the main controls of the interior compartment is the most noteworthy upgrade in the new BMW X5. The integration of the BMW 8.0 operating system and the iDrive control system allows the owners to intuitively and easily control the car. The Curved Display consists of a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a 14.9-inch center control display. With these upgrades, the control panel of the new BMW X5 uses touch and voice controls.

The standard equipment in the interior compartment includes comfort seats and premium wood trim. A new feature that has been added is the Light Bar lighting system that surrounds the LED character X5, similar to the BMW X7.

New engine with 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission.

The BMW X5 is equipped with the standard Mild Hybrid drivetrain. The first component of this system is a 3.0L 6-cylinder in-line combustion engine that is directly connected to the 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. The powerful engine combined with the all-wheel drive system allows the X5 to safely operate in various terrain conditions.

The most significant improvement in the new BMW X5 is the 48V Mild Hybrid technology. The application of this technology appears in the form of an electric motor that is directly integrated into the transmission. The Mild Hybrid motor produces up to 9 kW/12 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque, optimizing the combustion engine’s performance and providing smoother acceleration with higher efficiency.

The new engine delivers a maximum power increase of 46 horsepower compared to the previous version, reaching 381 horsepower. The torque of the X5 reaches 540 Nm thanks to the Mild Hybrid technology. With these changes, the new BMW X5 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.

New optimized chassis technology for better handling on the BMW X5

In the BMW X5 xDrive40i M Sport version, the car utilizes the M Adaptive Suspension system, which enhances the sporty driving experience. Additionally, the driver can customize the suspension stiffness/softness to match the Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport driving modes. The xDrive40i xLine version uses an optimized air suspension system for a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.

Advanced driving assistance system.

The new BMW X5 is equipped with a lane departure warning system, collision warning, and automatic braking system. The driving assistance system on the new BMW X5 also offers features such as parking assistance and a 360-degree camera for reversing.

The first-generation BMW XM – Superior performance in a high-performance SUV.

M Hybrid – The first plug-in hybrid drivetrain from BMW M.

The M Hybrid drivetrain in the BMW XM first-generation offers numerous advantages over traditional hybrid engines. The new engine technology highlights the high-performance characteristics of the BMW XM with increased power and smoother acceleration. The M Hybrid is based on a high-revving V8 engine developed using the famous M TwinPower Turbo technology. The new BMW XM combines a combined power output of up to 653 horsepower (generated by the seamless integration of a 489-horsepower combustion engine and a 197-horsepower electric drivetrain).

The power of the BMW XM is demonstrated through the M xDrive 4-wheel-drive system. This system accurately and quickly distributes power from the combustion engine and the electric motor to all four wheels. M xDrive is biased towards the rear axle, and the driver can choose the 4WD Sand mode when driving in areas with complex terrains.

Unique design representing the top-performing SAV from BMW.

The BMW XM is inspired by BMW’s new modern design language. The headlights are divided into two separate parts, the kidney grille features a gold-colored border, and the Iconic Glow lighting system surrounds the border, which are the highlights of the front of the car.

The lighting cluster on the BMW XM is divided into two separate areas – the position lights and turn signals integrated into super-slim bulbs, while the main Adaptive LED headlights are arranged separately below. The horizontal grille bars are special highlights of the famous BMW M GmbH sports cars, while the kidney grilles are hexagonal-shaped with unique design elements.

In the passenger compartment, the new BMW XM offers spacious and luxurious space with the exclusive M Lounge design, Alcantara headliners, and three-dimensional diamond trims on all door trims. The Ambient Light system, 4-zone automatic air conditioning, and Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system with a 1,475W amplifier are standard features of the BMW XM in Vietnam.
