USER OPINION

Latest Updates
Thursday, 14 November 2024 07:25 AM The 2024 BMW X5 has received significant updates, including a revised exterior design with a new front bumper, grille, slimmer headlights, and updated taillights. The interior now features the BMW Curved Display and the iDrive 8.5 operating system. The standard turbocharged 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine now produces 375 horsepower and includes a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. I think these updates make the X5 look more modern and technologically advanced.
Thursday, 07 November 2024 11:51 AM BMW has enhanced the power and efficiency of the 2024 X5, particularly in the plug-in hybrid xDrive50e model. This trim now boasts a total output of 483 horsepower, nearly 100 horsepower more than the previous model, and an increased electric-only range of 40 miles. The new engine uses the Miller combustion cycle for improved efficiency. I believe this boost in power and range makes the xDrive50e a compelling choice for those seeking both performance and fuel efficiency.
Friday, 25 October 2024 10:44 AM The 2024 BMW X5 features a new front fascia design, including narrower headlights with arrow-shaped LED running lights and a redesigned kidney grille that can illuminate. The lower fascia is larger with more detail, incorporating vertical vents for a wider stance. This new design gives the X5 a more aggressive yet elegant look.
Friday, 20 September 2024 11:00 AM BMW has introduced a more powerful hybrid powertrain for the 2024 X5 xDrive50e, which includes a revised turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine using the Miller combustion cycle and a more powerful electric motor. This results in better fuel economy and an extended EV driving range. I think this upgrade is a significant step forward in combining performance and sustainability.
Thursday, 15 August 2024 05:38 PM The interior of the 2024 BMW X5 has been upgraded with a large, curved screen that combines the 12.3-inch driver display and 14.9-inch infotainment display. This new display has minimized physical controls, except for a volume knob and buttons for defrosters, and includes the classic iDrive controller. This modernization gives the X5 a high-tech vibe.
Sunday, 28 July 2024 12:43 PM The 2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid now offers 58 MPGe combined in hybrid mode, according to the EPA, and has an estimated electric-only range of 40 miles. This improvement in fuel efficiency makes the X5 a more attractive option for those looking for a balance between performance and eco-friendliness.
Monday, 10 June 2024 02:42 PM BMW has announced that the base price of the 2024 X5 sDrive40i will start at $66,195, with all-wheel drive adding an additional $2,300. The plug-in hybrid xDrive50e will start at $73,495, and the M60i will begin at $90,295. These price increases reflect the significant updates and enhancements made to the vehicle.
Wednesday, 07 February 2024 01:05 PM Production of the standard 2024 BMW X5 models is set to begin in April 2024. This production timeline suggests that customers can expect to see the new models in dealerships soon after. I think the anticipation for these updated models is high, given the extensive changes.
Thursday, 25 January 2024 08:32 AM The 2024 BMW X5 has seen a significant increase in power across its engine options. The base 40i models now produce 375 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, thanks to a new turbocharged inline-six engine. The M60is 4.4-liter V-8 also benefits from a 48-volt hybrid system. This power boost enhances the overall driving experience.
Wednesday, 10 January 2024 03:03 AM BMW has confirmed that the 2024 X5 will not adopt the controversial split-headlight design seen in some other models. Instead, it features slimmer one-piece headlights and a revised kidney grille, maintaining a more conventional look. I believe this design choice will appeal to a broader audience.

BMW X5 Review

03 Oct, 2014 03:13 PM

Synopsis

BMW X5 was the first SUV launched by BMW globally. The car is now in its third generation and after a minor facelift, it’s ready to take on the other competitors including its biggest rival Audi Q7.

Exterior

BMW has stick to their basics in terms of designing as except for the minor changes, nothing much has changed on this car. It shares its platform with the 5 series luxury sedan. Biggest changes include a new bumper with air inlets and LEDs in its headlights. The familiar radiator grille, round shaped fog lights and bonnet remains the same. The side profile remains intact but you do get to choose from 2 sizes of alloy wheels which slightly make a difference to its appearance. Except for the restyled tail lights, there are no major changes at the back of this car. BMW needs to bring some serious changes to this car as now it looks aged in comparison to many of its new rivals like Land Rover Evoque.

Interior

The interiors are of dual tone color with leather seat covers of beige color enhancing the aura inside. The new leather wrapped three spoke steering wheel looks funky than before. The plastic and the material used inside feels of top quality. This 5 seater car has very generous seats with optimum comfort. Legroom and headroom is quite adequate for the rear passengers. Rear passengers also get their own rear AC vents and centre armrest.

Comfort and Convenience

BMW X5 offers many features to give maximum comfort to its driver and the passengers. Driver seat is electrically adjustable which allows the driver to get in to the perfect position with an adjustable steering wheel for clear visibility. It has a dual zone automatic air conditioning with central locking, electrically adjustable and fold-able side mirrors. It also has Hill Descent control (HDC), rain sensing wipers and auto headlights with rear parking camera to assist you while parking it.

Dashboard and Storage

Dashboard of BMW X5 remains the same with similar high class wooden inserts and instrument panel. It has an air cooled glove box with door pockets and cup holders in front and rear centre armrest. It has decent boot capacity which can be increased by folding the rear seats.

Music System

BMW X5 has an audio system with six CD changer and 16 powerful speakers with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity. It comes with steering mounted audio and Bluetooth controls.

Engine and Gearbox

New BMW X5 is powered by a 2993cc, V6 diesel engine, which generates a maximum power output of 258 bhp with an increased torque output of 560 Nm. This engine is equipped with xDrive30d to enhance its performance. The new eight speed automatic transmission now replaces its old six speed transmission.

Acceleration and Performance

With new engines and gearbox, the performance of this car has improved significantly. Its new petrol unit takes just 5.5 seconds to reach 0-100km/hr. This engine can reach a top speed of 240km/hr. The diesel engine feels much responsive than before thanks to its eight speed gearbox which reduces the turbo lag and you don’t much have to wait for its power as the new gear ratios feel very proportionate. Refinement of this engine has also increased with its power and torque output. The car feels much relaxed in its high range with reaching a top speed of 210km/hr. The new gearbox reduces its rpms which makes it quicker than before and as a result of that it takes around 7.6 seconds to reach 100km/hour from standstill.

Mileage

Due to its heavy weight and powerful engine, the petrol version of this car will be able to return you a mileage of around 6-7km/ltr while BMW claims its diesel engine to be the most fuel efficient engine in its class. The 3.0L diesel engine is expected to give a fuel efficiency of around 8km/ltr. The new X5 is available in only diesel in India.

Safety Features

BMW X5 features 8 airbags for your safety with ESP and traction control in it. Remote locking, anti-theft alarm is standard safety features in it and there is additional reinforcement in the front, sides and rear of the body for extra protection at the time of collision.

Suspension and Braking

The suspension of this car favours our Indian roads as it takes most of the bumps without any kind of complain. BMW X5 uses ventilated disk brakes at it front with simple disks at the back. The braking system also has ABS with EBD.

Ride and Handling

BMW X5 has always been known for its plush ride on road as well as off road. It’s a perfect 4x4 and pleases you the way it handles. This two tone vehicle manages to shed its weight with its brilliant handling on road. Its suspension also holds it well around sharp corners and you experience minimal body roll.

Shades and Warranty

BMW X5 is available in ten shades. The company offers 2years/unlimited kilometres warranty on its cars.

Variants

BMW X5 is available in one variants: xDrive 30d diesel.

Verdict

BMW X5 is cheaper than its outgoing model by a good margin but it is expensive than many of its competitors. At this price, BMW is offering a powerful petrol engine but its design needs to be upgraded. Moreover its diesel engine still feels on the slower side if compared to other competitors. We won’t say it’s a complete value for money car but it’s quite considerable due to it’s on and off road capability despite its big size.
