About the BMW X5
Each BMW X5 iteration has been praised for its performance on the road, and the current model is no exception. The original generation established the standard for SUVs with four-wheel drive and chassis built as much for fun as anything else. To emphasize their point, BMW referred to the X5 as a Sport Activity Vehicle rather than the more common term Sport Utility Vehicle. This is a tradition that BMW still upholds today. The most recent model is one of the most practical cars in its category, and BMW has introduced an optional Off-Road package. BMW X5 rivals in Kenya include Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Porsche Cayenne, Volvo XC90, and Audi Q7.
This BMW X5 review is helpful if you desire to import BMW X5 in Kenya or buy a locally used BMW X5.
What are the main features of a BMW X5?
The new BMW X5 for sale in Kenya is only available in one boxy five-door body style that is instantly recognizable. The Up front, deeper kidney grilles, more sculpted body creases, new tail-lights, and sharper headlamp designs and badges enhance its road presence. The new model increases utility by taking the X5 to a new level. It is larger than the previous model, and while the third row of seats is still an option, it also has more user-friendly features, including electric seat folding from the boot and an automated “hands-free” split tailgate.
There are only two trim levels available. The xline has air suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail lights, heated leather seats, parking assistance, and wireless phone charging. The M Sport variant includes an M aerodynamics pack, sporty steering wheel, anthracite headliner, 20-inch alloy wheels, M Sport brake calipers, and blacked-out trim.
The new BMW X5 has three engine options: the turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six diesel xDrive30d engine producing 282bhp, the turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six xDrive40i powerplant delivering 335bhp, and the new xDrive45e plug-in hybrid, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine coupled with a lithium-ion battery-powered electric motor with a 24kWh capacity.
Eight-speed auto transmission and an all-wheel drive drivetrain are standard. The system directs more torque to the rear wheels to enhance the sporty driving feel. The optional Offroad pack provides four loose-surface driving modes, including gravel, sand, rock, and snow, and undercarriage protection to deflect stones and bumps for X5 users who desire more of the countryside.
Standard features range from the Live Cockpit Pro digital gauge cluster, power-adjustable sport front seats, a panoramic moonroof, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED lighting, and more. Standard infotainment features include an iDrive controller with a 12.3-inch screen with crisp graphics, 12.3-inch touch screen, satellite radio, navigation, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, five USB ports, HD Radio, and a Bowers & Wilkins stereo.
Standard safety tech features include driver drowsiness monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning, adaptive headlights, automatic high beams, speed limiter, and chassis dynamic systems such as ABS, Stability Control, and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution.

The X5 offers 650 litres and can expand to 1,870 litres of space by folding the back-row seats.
