BMW X5: Орта дәрежедегі сәнді кроссовер SUV

Mid size luxury crossover SUV

The BMW X5 is a mid size luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW. The X5 made its debut in 1999 as the E53 model. It was BMW's first SUV. At launch, it featured all wheel drive and was available with either a manual or automatic gearbox. The second generation was launched in 2006, and was known internally as the E70. The E70 featured the torque split capable xDrive all wheel drive system mated to an automatic gearbox. In 2009, the X5 M performance variant was released as a 2010 model. BMW marketed the X5 officially as a "Sports Activity Vehicle" (SAV), rather than an SUV, to indicate its on road handling capability despite its large dimensions. The X5 signaled a shift away from the utilisation of body on frame construction, in favour of more modern monocoque chassis construction. Although the Mercedes Benz M Class was introduced more than a year prior to the X5, the X5 was the first to utilise a monocoque chassis. The M Class used body on frame construction until its second generation. The X5 is primarily manufactured in North America, at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg. Assembly operations also take place in Russia by Avtotor, along with operations in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The X5 is also modified for armoured security versions, at the BMW de México Toluca plant. The automaker's SAV series, which was started by the X5, has expanded with derivations of other number series BMWs. This began in 2003 with the X3, and continued in 2008 with the X6 (which shares its platform with the X5).

The E53 X5 was manufactured between 1999 and 2006. It was developed shortly after BMW Group's acquisition of British off road vehicle manufacturer Land Rover. BMW vehicles in turn benefitted significantly from Land Rover's technology. The first generation X5 shares many components with the Range Rover (L322) model (specifically the hill descent control and off road engine management systems). The engine and electronic systems were shared with the BMW E39 5 Series. A series of petrol inline 6 and V 8 engines were offered, along with diesel engines. Engine displacement ranged from 3.0 to 4.8 litres. Production for the 2004 model year facelift began in late 2003.

The E70 X5 is the second generation of the X5. It debuted in July 2006 for the 2007 model year. The second generation featured key improvements, including BMW's iDrive system as standard across models, and an optional third row of seats for increased seven passenger capacity. Trim and engine level nomenclature for the X5 after 2008 follows the same nomenclature used for other BMW vehicles. The X5 3.0si was renamed the X5 xDrive30i, and the X5 4.8i was renamed the X5 xDrive48i. In 2010 BMW replaced the DVD based CCC system (which powered iDrive) with a CIC hard drive system. In 2009, the diesel xDrive35d variant became available in Canada and the United States, along with the BMW 335d 3 Series sedan. The M Performance variant was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April 2009, and went on sale in September 2009 (2010 model year). Sharing its drivetrain with the X6 M, the X5 M featured BMW's first turbocharged M Power V 8, producing and of torque. The E70 received a facelift for the 2011 model year, known as the LCI. For the 2011 model year, the X5 became BMW's 3rd best selling model, after the best selling 3 Series (E90), and second best selling 5 Series (F10).

The F15 X5 (or F85 for the X5 M) is the third generation of the X5, and was first unveiled to the public on 30 May 2013. It officially debuted in November 2013. It shared the same chassis and wheelbase as the E70, and introduced a choice of three engines. The range included the xDrive50i (petrol V 8 producing 450 bhp), the xDrive30d (turbocharged inline 6 diesel producing 258 bhp), and the M50d Performance (turbocharged inline 6 diesel producing 381 bhp). In December 2013, additional engine options became available. This included the six cylinder xDrive40d and xDrive35i models, as well as the four cylinder xDrive25d (all wheel drive) and sDrive25d (rear wheel drive) models. BMW added a Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle model (the xDrive40e), which was powered by a turbocharged four cylinder engine. The xDrive40e's electric motor achieves a peak power output of 83 kW, and a continuous output of 55 kW with the 9kWh 351V Li ion battery pack.

The G05 X5 is the fourth (and current) generation of the X5. It was unveiled to the public online, on 6 June 2018. It officially debuted in November 2018. It is based on the BMW Group's new Cluster Architecture (CLAR) chassis. All 2019 model year X5s were equipped with xDrive all wheel drive. An sDrive (rear wheel drive) variant was added to the US model lineup for 2020. The 2020 X5 sDrive was powered by BMW's inline 6 petrol B58 engine (the sDrive40i). Another 2020 model year addition was the xDrive45e PHEV. It also has the firm's B58 engine, mated with an electric motor. The result is a combined power output of from its larger 24 kWh battery pack. A long wheelbase (LWB) version of the BMW X5 was developed for the Chinese market under the model code G18. The wheelbase of the G18 is extended by 13 cm over the standard X5, mirroring the wheelbase of the X7 and XM. The G18 was assembled at BMW Plant Shenyang in Shenyang.

In January 2021, the X5 xDrive45e M Sport was named Luxury SUV of the Year by What Car? magazine. What Car? awarded the X5 five stars out of five in its review of the car.
