Practicality- the space between its front and rear wheels is 42 millimeters greater and that means the new x5 has much more rear legroom than the car it replaces. You can still choose to have five or seven seats and there’s650-liters boot will happily everything you need for a family holiday. The x5 has an 1860 liter total capacity when you fold all the receipts away and the splitting tailgate means you can slide heavy loads in place nice and easy. Also, the boot has a low cover which can be hidden away electrically.
Aerodynamics- The BMW x5 has excellent aerodynamics for an SUV to help you get the best of the fuel economy. thanks to things like a boot mounted spoiler and a grill that can close to reduce drag at speed, the x5 is actually more aerodynamic than the McLaren f1.
Driving- BMWs are supposed to be the ultimate driving machines, even the SUVs. That’s why the new x5 has double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, as that should make it fun to drive for such a big heavy SUV. Adjustable dampers come as standard say confirm at the suspension at the touch of a button. Air suspension is optional if you prefer an even more comfortable ride the standard xDrive four-wheel drive system is designed to make the x5 feel as though it is rear-wheel drive. The optional electronically controlled limited slip differential to give you lots of grip to power out of corners.
Self Driving Tech– While the x5 should be fun to drive you can also expect it to be pretty good at driving itself. if you specify the driver assistance professional package, the pack buys you a bunch of acronyms, that means the x5 can drive itself down the motorway and in heavy traffic queues. it can also break the car automatically if you reverse into traffic and steer the car back into position if you drift out of your lane on the motorway.
Off-Roading- If your fancy scraping your expensive SUVs paintwork while off-roading, then the optional off-road package should at least mean you’re less likely to get stuck, includes preset driving modes for sand, rock, gravel or snow. And the pack bundles together the optional air suspension for extra ground clearance and the electronically controlled rear differential lock for more grip on slippery surfaces.
