The new BMW X5: slim headlights, illuminated BMW kidney grille
The new BMW X5 and BMW X6 proudly adopt the new design for the BMW kidney grille and narrower signature BMW headlights, with arrow-shaped daytime driving lights that serve as turn signal indicators. Equipped with Adaptive LED headlights and high beam assist as standard, they can also be specified with M Shadowline lights with black inlays.

The BMW kidney grille has a surround and bars in Pearl-effect Chrome while the BMW Iconic Glow is introduced as part of the M Sport Pro pack. The Iconic Glow illumination is activated when one of the doors is opened and can be switched on or off manually by the driver. Vertical air curtains positioned to the outer edges emphasise the width of the car. The lower air intake has a horizontal trim detail in Pearl-effect Chrome and triangular apertures in its outer areas.

Newly designed air breathers, LED rear lights with X motif
The air breathers in the front side panels of the BMW X5 sport a striking curving element at the front (finished in Pearl-effect Chrome as standard or in Black on M Sport and M60i models), and three horizontal blades at their trailing edge. The BMW X5 xDrive50e also has “electrified by i” badging here and the BMW X5 M60i xDrive features its model designation.

More power, more electric range: BMW X5 xDrive50e with new plug-in hybrid drive system
A straight-six petrol engine joins forces with an electric drive unit in the new BMW X5 xDrive50e to produce 490hp (including temporary boost effect) – an increase of 96hp over the outgoing model – and combined torque of 700Nm (+100Nm).

The latest incarnation of the 3.0-litre straight-six engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology uses the Miller cycle, shortening the opening time of the intake valves. This unit also features redesigned combustion chambers and intake ports, a new dual injection system, an ignition system with active coil and a cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold. The petrol engine’s nominal output of 313hp represents an increase of 27hp on the unit it replaces, with torque peaking at 450Nm.

The electric motor integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission on the new BMW X5 xDrive50e boasts an increased power density in excess of 5.0kW/kg. The new synchronous motor produces 197hp (+84hp) while the upper rev limit has been raised to 11,500rpm. Off the line, the new BMW X5 xDrive50e takes just 4.8 seconds to reach 62mph from rest.

The motor draws its energy from a high-voltage lithium-ion battery integrated into the underbody, a product of fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology. The battery can store 25.7kWh of usable energy, an increase of almost 25 per cent compared with the preceding generation. A new Combined Charging Unit supports both single-phase and three-phase charging, doubling the maximum AC charging rate to 7.4kW.
