In countries such as Belgium, the all-new X5 is available to configure on the automaker’s website. And in accordance to the announcements made during the grand reveal, European markets can choose between the xDrive40i and two diesel-powered drivetrains at the present moment. Those are the M50d and xDrive30d.
In regard to pricing, the Belgian configurator for the G05 lists the xDrive30d at €71,655. Leveling up from Steptronic to Steptronic + (adds paddle shifters and sport mode) ramps up the price to €71,910. Next up is the xDrive40i, coming in at €73,405. And at the top of the lineup (for the time being), the M50d is €93,455.
In regard to output, the xDrive30d takes its mojo from a 3.0-liter inline-six turbo diesel with 265 PS and 620 Nm (457 pound-feet) of torque. The xDrive40i as 340 PS on tap, but the M50d is more powerful and a lot more torquier. To this effect, the quad-turbo diesel option is the quickest off the line (5.2 seconds to 100 km/h).
Produced in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the G05 will arrive in the United States for the 2019 model year in November. Two drivetrains will be available in the first instance: xDrive40i and xDrive50i. The latter boasts 4.4 liters of twin-turbocharged V8 goodness, translating to 456 horsepower and 479 pound-feet (650 Nm) of twist.
1.1 inches longer and featuring 1.6 inches of additional wheelbase compared to the previous generation, the G05 is 2.6 inches wider and 1 inch taller than before. LED headlights are standard, as is the oversized kidney grille. In addition to the xLine variant, customers who would like more sportiness are offered the M Sport model.
Given time, the X5 will receive a plug-in hybrid powertrain under the iPerformance sub-brand, as well as a range-topping option in the guise of the X5 M. In all likelihood, the F90 M5 will share the 600-horsepower twin-turbo V8 with the daddy of all X5 models.
More than 2.2 million units of the X5 have been sold worldwide since BMW started production in 1999. One-third of them were sold in the United States of America.
