The 2002 BMW X5 is a midsized luxury SUV that's part of the vehicle model's first generation, offering a deft blend of sport and utility. Engine options include a 3.0-liter inline-six with 225 horsepower and a 4.4-liter V8 with 282 horsepower, both associated with a five-speed automatic transmission. All X5 models are equipped with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, offering superb handling. Three trims: 3.0i, 4.4i, and 4.6is provides a tiered luxury and performance experience. The X5 comes standard with features such as stability control, ABS, a comprehensive set of airbags for safety, and a premium audio system. A notable change for the 2002 model year is the addition of a top-performance 4.6is model featuring a 340-hp 4.6-liter V8. This combination of performance and luxury made the X5 one of the most desirable SUVs of its time.
