BMW X5: dimensions and styling

The fifth generation of the BMW X5 has grown in size, reaching a length of 4.99 metres – almost eight centimetres longer than the previous model. It is 2 metres wide, approximately 1.75 metres high and has a wheelbase of 3.03 metres. The most notable change is at the front, where an illuminated double-kidney grille makes its debut – narrower and more vertically oriented – flanked by new headlamps featuring a double-X light signature. The bodywork echoes the styling introduced by the Neue Klasse, whilst the door handles integrated into the door pillars stand out on the sides. The rear light clusters and alloy wheels – available in sizes up to 23 inches – are also new. The boot offers a capacity of between 655 and 1,850 litres, which drops to 525–1,680 litres on the plug-in versions.
