Luxurious and Sporty Mid-size BMW SUV

The 2022 BMW X5 is a luxuriously sport midsize SUV with impressive engineering under the hood and in the cabin. It comes standard with high-tech infotainment and driver’s assistive features as well as a few powerful powertrains with decent fuel economy and comfortable handling capabilities. Buyers who want a BMW X5 have several trims to choose from, including an electrified model and an aggressive M Series with some serious horsepower.

Formidable Performance from a Mid-size SUV

The 2022 BMW X5 comes with three impressive powertrain choices. The first is the standard engine that comes in the xDrive40i or xDrive40i. The standard 3.0-liter inline-six delivers 335 horsepower and a zero-to-60 time of 5.3 seconds. It comes with a satisfying eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose this model with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The rear-wheel-drive model gets better fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 21/26 MPG.

The plug-in hybrid model is the xDrive45e. It pairs an electric motor with the same inline-six and offers up to 30 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge. This model gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 50 MPGe when using the battery.

BMW also offers the X5 M50i for drivers who want even more pep under the hood. This model has a 4.4-liter V8 with an M TwinPower Turbo that delivers 523 horsepower and a 4.1-second zero-to-60 time.

For even more power under the hood, buyers can choose the X5 M with the same engine and even more sport tuning for 600 horsepower and a 3.8-second zero-to-60 speed. Fuel economy isn’t much to brag about on the M trims, especially since the X5 is a heavy vehicle that weighs as much as 5,600 pounds and is 16.2 feet long. While the BMW X5 manual transmission isn’t an option, drivers can get a manual experience with either M model, as they both have steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and launch control.

Well-Equipped with Driver-Assistive Safety Features

As a luxury SAV, the BMW X5 comes with many popular driver-assistive features, including some that provide a semi-autonomous driving experience. The standard features include Rear View Camera, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High-Beam Headlights with an Adaptive Pivoting Feature, and Driver Drowsiness Monitoring. Buyers can upgrade the safety features to add Surround-View Parking Camera System, Hands-Free Park Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Head-up Display, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

High-Tech Information and Entertainment System

The BMW X5 comes with a high-tech infotainment system that includes a pair of 12.3-inch screens. One runs the digital instrument cluster, while the other is the touchscreen central information display. Both use the iDrive 7.0 system with voice, touchscreen, and console controls. The infotainment system includes Navigation, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and over-the-air updates.

Drivers have several options for music and entertainment. The X5 comes with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Hi-Fi AM/FM sound system with ten speakers. The iDrive system also includes the Connected Package Professional with Real-Time Traffic Information, On-Street Parking Information, Hazard Preview, BMW Remote Services, and the Intelligent Personal Assistant with voice control. Buyers who choose the M models get an upgraded sound system with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

Attractive BMW X5 Interior and Exterior Styling

The base trims, the sDrive40i and xDrive40i, come with interior and exterior features that add a sporty luxury to the SUV. The standard interior trim is synthetic leather with heated and power-adjustable front seats. Both models come standard with a panoramic moonroof and ambient interior lighting. On the outside, the X5 comes with standard 19-inch alloy wheels.

Buyers can upgrade the standard models with leather upholstery and available ventilated and massaging front seats. Available upgrades also include heated armrests, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. The X5 comes with two rows, but a third row is optional, as are larger wheels between 20 and 22 inches.

The M trims come with M styling on the front and rear bumpers and front grille. The steering wheel has unique M styling, and the X5 M has carbon-fiber trim along with standard heated front armrests and a heated steering wheel. The M trims also have 21-inch or 22-inch wheels.
