BMW X5—The Upscale Midsize SUV
The BMW X5 SUV blends performance, luxury, and versatility. Available trims include the BMW X5 sDrive40i (RWD) or xDrive40i (AWD), both powered by a 3.0L inline-6 TwinPower Turbo engine with 375 hp and a 5.2-5.3 second 0 to 60 mph time.
Drivers can also choose the BMW X5 xDrive50e Plug-In Hybrid model that pairs the turbo engine with an eDrive motor for 483 hp and a 40-mile electric-only range. Performance variants BMW X5 M60i and X5 M Competition offer up to 523 hp and 617 hp respectively.
Inside the BMW X5, a sweeping curved display combines a 12.3-inch digital cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment panel. Features like ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof (Sky Lounge option), premium Merino leather upholstery, gesture control, and driver assistance packages elevate the cabin experience.
Why the BMW X5 is Perfect for You

- Performance enthusiasts who enjoy sharp handling, potent acceleration, and available suspension systems for refined ride comfort and agility

BMW X7—The Flagship Full-Size SUV
The BMW X7 offers ultimate luxury and three-row comfort. Trims include the BMW X7 xDrive40i with a 3.0L inline-6 engine with mild-hybrid tech, the BMW X7 M60i with a twin-turbo V8 engine with 48V mild-hybrid boost, and the BMW X7 ALPINA XB7 variant that pushes beyond 630 hp for ultra-performance luxury.
The BMW X7 comes with adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, ambient air package, a Sky Lounge panoramic roof, and available crystal headlights. Inside, the use of high-grade materials, optional captain’s chairs, and advanced infotainment heighten the opulence.
