PricingĪ turbine-smooth gasoline-powered inline-six, a brawny V-8, an environmentally friendly four-cylinder plug-in hybrid, and an efficient diesel inline-six make up the BMW X5’s quartet of turbocharged powertrains. Both gasoline-powered 35i models and the diesel-burning 35d receive new trapezoidal tailpipe finishers, and non-hybrid X5s with the M Sport package can be upgraded to 21-inch wheels with performance run-flat tires. What's New for 2018?īMW tweaked the X5’s eight-speed automatic transmission for 2018 and made paddle shifters standard on the plug-in hybrid xDrive40e model. In the meantime, buyers of the current X5 will appreciate its well-tailored cabin, velvety smooth gasoline engines, intuitive iDrive infotainment system, and above-average fuel economy. Unfortunately, its skills are more closely aligned with the first mission than the second, something we’re hoping BMW rectifies with the all-new model that is set to debut for 2019.

As the mid-size offering in BMW’s popular crossover X Series, the X5 should be expected to function as an upscale family hauler while also delivering the brand’s signature driving satisfaction.
