The BMW X5 nameplate is now 27 years old, and in that time, not much has changed. It has largely retained the same shape, carried over many of the same design cues, and—more or less—offered the same engine options.
For the fifth-generation X5, BMW has thrown almost all of that thinking out the window to create something very different from X5s of yore. Thanks to a Neue Klasse design, a bold interior, and five—yes, five—different powertrain options, the new X5 is as different as it’s ever been.
