BMW X5 - Cincinnati, OH

BMW X5 Overview

First introduced for the 1999 model year, the X5 marked BMW's entry into the SUV market - this is much more than the kind of crossover you will find from other manufacturers. It is fair to call the BMW X5 an SAV rather than an SUV since it really focuses on sportiness and delivers a level of performance that you will not find with many other models out there. Over the last 20+ years, the X5 has proven itself as the cornerstone of BMW's SAV lineup, though other models from the compact X1 to the three-row X7 have since joined it.

The first generation for the BMW X5 ran from 1999 to the 2006 model year and delivered on power and style that set it apart from a lot of other models on the road. While similar vehicles from other manufacturers were still using a body-on-frame design like a truck, the X5 set the stage for crossover SUVs that followed it by taking advantage of a unibody design that allowed for a sleeker and sportier vehicle. The second generation of the X5 went from model years 2007 to 2013 and introduced an option for a third row of seating and a high-performance M model.

A third generation for the BMW X5 was introduced for the 2014 model year and continued to demonstrate why this vehicle left so many others behind it. While there were not many massive changes for the X5 during this generation, there were some key additions like an available plug-in hybrid engine and improved interior design and safety features. The fourth generation of the X5 launched for the 2019 model year and continued the tradition of excellence that has been a hallmark of this vehicle since it was first introduced. This latest generation was built upon a new platform with more options than ever before for the engine and powertrain, giving you a tremendous amount of freedom to get the perfect X5 with everything you need.

The 2021 BMW X5

One of the most impressive aspects about the 2021 BMW X5 is just how many options you have when looking for the powertrain that you want.

All of them include gorgeous interior styling and great features for entertainment and safety, so you are free to pick the model that delivers the kind of performance you want and then go from there.
