    • Harman Kardon sound system
    • Roller sun blinds
    • Wireless charging tray
    • Four-zone control air-conditioning system

    Powertrain

    Propelling the BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport is a six-cylinder in-line 3.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor. This combo can dish out as much as 489 horsepower (hp) and torque of up to 700 Newton-meters. Power is sent to the wheels via the eight-speed Steptronic Sport Transmission.

    The aforementioned set-up allows the vehicle to run 100 kilometers per hour (kph) from standstill in 4.8 seconds and reach peak speeds up to 250 kph.

    In addition, the electric motor is mated to a 25.7-kilowatt-hour battery that lets the vehicle cover an emissions-free range of 100-118 kilometers (km) based on Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure.

    Guaranteeing stability and comfort are the adaptive two-axle air suspension that comes with self-leveling capabilities and electronically-controlled dampers. Ride height can be adjusted through the various drive modes and a dedicated button within the cockpit.

    The BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport’s halts and declarations are assured by its M Sport braking system.

    The new BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport has a digital key that lets owners lock and unlock the vehicle using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology, which is compatible with iOS or Android-run devices.
