The new 4th generation BMW X5 (BMW X5 G05) was officially presented on June 5, 2018, but is still online. The world premiere of the fourth-generation German premium crossover BMW X 5 is scheduled for. In our review, the new BMW X5 (G05) 2018-2019 - the first news, photos and videos, price and equipment, technical specifications of the new generation BMW X5 German crossover.
The production of the new generation X5 will start at the end of the summer of this year at the company's American plant (Spartanburg, South Carolina), and the start of world (America, Russia, Europe and China) sales of the new generation BMW X 5 will begin in November-December 2018.

The new generation BMW X5 is built on the CLAR modular platform with a fully independent front (double-link) and rear (multi-link) suspension architecture. In the arsenal of the chassis of the German crossover are air springs on both axles, sharp steering with a variable gear ratio, adaptive electronically controlled dampers, as well as a fully controlled chassis and active anti-roll bars.
The body of the new BMW X5 with factory index G05 is made with a wide use of steel of various grades and aluminum. In addition to the M Sport package, traditional for BMW cars, which gives the new BMW X5 a sporty and dynamic look, the manufacturer has proposed an off-road xLine package for the novelty, which implies the presence of not only compact bumpers and neat door sills with a protective edge made of unpainted plastic, but also plastic protection for the edges of the wheel arches, enhanced protection of the engine compartment from below and the bottom, rear differential lock and several special modes in driving electronics, sharpened for off-road driving. Thus, we can state that the BMW X5 with the M Sport package is a city dweller, and the BMW X5 with the xLine off-road package is a summer resident.
I would like to note that having changed the generation, the German crossover BMW X5 not only increased noticeably in size compared to, but became even more visually similar to the younger brothers: in front, the new generation X5 is almost an exact copy of the SUV, except perhaps the nostrils of the false radiator grille and the air intakes in the bumper X5 is bigger. And at the rear, the X5 bears a striking resemblance to a coupe-like crossover. Family resemblance to younger models, by the way, does not spoil the impression of a stylish image of a large German SUV and the new BMW X5 looks super stylish and solid.

The new BMW X5 2019-2020 () has retained its recognizable appearance, while the appearance of the car has become noticeably more aggressive. The all-terrain vehicle received a sporty front bumper with large air intakes and a branded two-section radiator grille, the chrome-plated “nostrils” of which were significantly enlarged.
The Bavarians have slightly adjusted the shape of the headlights, while now the head optics are already LED in the base.

The interior of the SUV looks solid and stylish, but does not shine with originality, since most of the design solutions involved here are already well known from other modern models of the brand.
However, there are still unique features on the BMW X5 2019 (). Its interior, which is still available in both five- and seven-seater versions, has the original gear lever and exclusive door handles.
For the most part, the internal changes were evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Among other things, there is a new steering wheel and a fully digital instrument panel, in the center of which navigation maps are displayed, and on the sides are drawn "brackets" of the speedometer and tachometer.

3rd generation (F15), 2013–2018
The third generation of the BMW X5 crossover hit the assembly line of a factory in South Carolina, USA in 2013. A year later, the assembly of cars for the Russian market began in Kaliningrad.
The car was created on the upgraded platform of its predecessor, it retained the same dimensions, air suspension at the rear and an optional third row of seats.
The BMW X5 was equipped only with turbocharged engines: gasoline and diesel in-line three-liter “sixes”, as well as a V8 4.4 gasoline engine with a capacity of 450 hp. With. Also, the crossover received a four-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of two liters, developing 218 or 231 hp. With.
All versions had an eight-speed "automatic", and in some markets a rear-wheel drive option was now offered (only for cars with a two-liter diesel engine).
As before, at the top of the lineup was the BMW X5 M crossover, under the hood of which was a V8 4.4 petrol engine with a capacity of 575 forces. In 2015, the BMW X5 xDrive40e 313-horsepower plug-in hybrid with a two-liter petrol engine and an electric motor entered the market.
Well, who complained that BMW interiors haven't changed in years? Receive and, as they say, sign! The new "X-fifth" with the internal code G05 became the first model with a modified interior architecture. Metamorphoses are not revolutionary, but quite significant. And the virtual instrument cluster raises the most questions.
The central place on the 12.3-inch display is given to the navigation map, and instead of strict round scales, speedometer and tachometer brackets are drawn, the latter being mirrored and its scale graduated counterclockwise. Such a solution was found on Aston Martin and Peugeot cars, but the BMW variant is more graphically reminiscent of ... a Chinese SUV.
There are many other changes as well. The screen housing of the new iDrive 7.0 media system (it also has a diagonal of 12.3 inches) is now combined with the instrument cluster, the design of the ventilation vents has been changed, and the miniature climate control screens are inscribed between the central vents. The steering wheel has a new hub, a push-button block is installed instead of a rotary switch for outdoor lighting, otherwise the door handles and power window keys are located. And the block of keys and selectors on the central tunnel has also been re-arranged, where the engine start button has also moved.
The BMW X5 will still be available with a third row of seats, and boot volume has been slightly reduced: 645 liters instead of 650 in the five-seat variant and 1860 liters instead of 1870 with the rear seats folded down. Access to the luggage compartment, like all previous X-fifths, is opened by two doors - the main lifting and a small folding one.
The crossover itself has grown slightly with the change of generation. The length has increased by 36 mm (up to 4922 mm), and the increase in width is even greater: plus 66 mm and the final 2004 mm without mirrors. But the height nevertheless decreased by 17 mm (up to 1745 mm).
The wheelbase has grown from 2933 to 2975 mm, and the platform is completely new - it is a crossover version of the CLAR modular "trolley". Moreover, like the seventh series sedan, the new BMW X5 has a double-lever in front, a multi-link in the rear and an optional air suspension on all four wheels, while in cars of the two previous generations, air springs could only be ordered for the rear axle. Also, in terms of the chassis, a rear wheel steering mechanism and an active rear stabilizer are proposed.
In addition to the usual M Sport package, the new crossover also has an off-road kit. It includes reinforced underbody protection, a rear differential lock and several specific driving electronics modes.
Four engines are offered for the new BMW X5 at launch. The base version of the xDrive30d has a three-liter six-cylinder diesel engine with 265 hp. Following are the petrol versions xDrive40i with a three-liter turbo six (340 hp, 450 Nm) and xDrive50i with a V8 4.4 biturbo engine (462 hp, 650 Nm). And at the top of the range is the “charged” BMW X5 M50d, in which a three-liter diesel engine with four turbochargers produces 400 hp. and 760 Nm, and acceleration to 100 km / h takes 5.2 seconds (minus 0.1 seconds compared to the outgoing model). All modifications have an eight-speed "automatic" and all-wheel drive with a front axle clutch. Later, simple rear-wheel drive versions (for America), hybrids and the most powerful BMW X5 M are expected.
What else? For a surcharge, you can order all-round cameras and laser-phosphor high beam, which hits 500 meters against 300 meters for standard LED headlights. Naturally, a quasi-autopilot is provided, which can keep the car in the lane and maintain a distance to the car in front. And behind the fused nostrils, blinds are installed that open the air flow to the radiator only as needed. Wheels - landing diameter from 18 to 22 inches.
Production of the new BMW X5 at the plant in the US Spartanburg should start in late summer. Accordingly, crossovers will hit the market closer to winter. Following the generation change, the coupe-like BMW X6 is also waiting, but in addition, this year the flagship crossover will see the light of day, which will compete with the Mercedes GLS.
