January 26, 2016 – The BMW X5 is a global leader and a top-selling car in the Sports Activity Vehicle Segment. Since its launch in 1999, the BMW X5 has been setting milestones in its class – a class of which it was the founding member. In its third generation, the BMW X5 delivers outstanding luxury and unparalleled comfort in every regard and never fails to exceed expectations.
According to Nagy Heneine, General Manager for Commercial Affairs at Bassoul Heneine, “The third-era X5 set the standard for powerful design, interior size and luxury, driving pleasure, efficiency and versatility. The BMW X5 offers customers an assured all-round package equipped to meet the most challenging and diverse demands.
Exterior design: an elegant blend of robust presence and dynamic flair.
BMW’s signature design highlights project undeniable presence, robustness and versatility to lend BMW X models their distinctive appearance.
The trademark BMW twin circular headlights extend well into the car’s side panels. Optional Adaptive LED Headlights and LED front fog lamps are also available.
The design of the BMW X5’s side panels shines a spotlight on the car’s power and sporting ability, as precisely drawn lines exude dynamic intent and bring out the athleticism and agility of the car.
Variable-usage interior, up to seven seats and even greater versatility.
With its luxurious ambience and enhanced ride comfort, spaciousness and seating comfort, the BMW X5 offers noticeable advances over its predecessor. The newly designed seats for the driver and front passenger ensure a high level of long-distance comfort and impressive lateral hold. In addition, an optional third row of seats will turn the all-new BMW X5 into a seven-seater. The outer seats in the second row can be tilted far towards the front, making it easy to access the two additional seats.
Engines: more driving enjoyment and efficiency with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
As the first ever Sports Activity Vehicle, the BMW X5 continues to set the trends and standards in its segment, with the accent firmly on driving pleasure and efficiency. The new-generation V8 engine, for example, fitted in the BMW X5 xDrive50i, now develops 10 per cent more power (450 hp) than its predecessor, allowing the car to complete the 0-100 km/h (0–62 mph) sprint in 5.0 seconds. The improvement is down to BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, which – in addition to twin turbochargers and High Precision Injection direct petrol injection – also includes VALVETRONIC variable valve timing, resulting in improved response and efficiency.
