The BMW X5 is a premium SUV produced by the German automaker BMW Group. This model seamlessly blends the comfort and performance of a luxury sedan with the rugged capabilities of an off-road vehicle. The first generation debuted in 1999, showcasing design elements characteristic of BMWs from that era—most notably the iconic kidney grille, distinctive headlight shape, and sculpted hood lines.
A standout feature of the X5 is its robust and elevated body, giving it a commanding presence on the road. To enhance driving dynamics and safety, the vehicle was equipped with advanced traction and stability systems, including DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) and ADB (Automatic Differential Brake), among others.
The second generation (E70), launched in 2006, retained the bold silhouette of its predecessor while introducing subtle design updates, such as redesigned headlights and a refreshed grille. Inside, the cabin offers generous space for both front and rear passengers, with a layout focused on driver comfort and ergonomics. The dashboard features a large, easy-to-read navigation screen operated via the intuitive iDrive system.
Additional features available in this generation include active cruise control, a panoramic glass roof with a retractable sunshade, and an automatic transmission. The BMW X5 remains one of the top contenders in the luxury SUV segment, though its premium price point makes it a less common sight on Polish roads.
