BMW has revealed the fourth-generation X5 SUV, which comes with a new design both inside and out.
Having been on sale since 1999, more than 2.2 million X5s have been sold, and this latest model is looking to capitalise on the success of its predecessors.
BMW has extended the dimensions to improve interior space and standing on the road, and comes with metallic detailing around the front kidney grille and on the roof rails.
Available in three trim levels – xLine, M Sport and M Performance – the X5 comes with one of three engines. The 40i petrol produces 335bhp and 450Nm of torque, the 30d makes 261bhp along with 620Nm, while the top spec M50d is a quad-turbocharged six-cylinder diesel producing 394bhp and 760Nm of torque.
All of the power units are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive setup.
Inside, the X5 comes with a quality interior with a simple layout, which includes two 12.3-inch displays, a head-up display, a Bowers and Wilkins surround sound system and leather upholstery throughout.
With the increased dimensions, customers will find 645 litres of boot space with the five-seat layout in place, with rear storage space extended to 1,860 litres with the middle seats folded flat. A third row of seats will be available to fit from December.
