The 2019 BMW X5, as part of the model's fourth generation, is a midsize luxury SUV that is revered for its excellent driving dynamics and robust lineup of engine options. With BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system as standard and an 8-speed automatic transmission, the base X5 xDrive40i is powered by a 335-hp turbocharged inline-six, while the xDrive50i boasts a potent 456-hp twin-turbo V8. The M50i, a sport-tuned variant, receives an enhanced version of the same V8 producing 523-hp. Key safety features include forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, while the tech-savvy cabin offers a 12.3-in touchscreen for infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay. The X5's subtle makeover for 2019 introduced a larger, more luxurious cabin and a suite of new tech features, including the brand’s latest iDrive infotainment system.
