Vehicle Summary
BMW's X5 sport utility vehicle has three rows of seats available with room for seven occupants. All X5 models come with all-wheel drive (called xDrive), and the X5 is available in six-cylinder, eight-cylinder and diesel six-cylinder models, the latter added for 2009. BMW also will offer a new X5 M performance model with a new 555-hp V-8 this year. BMW's best-selling SUV, the X5 sits above the BMW X3 and X6 SUVs as far as size and carrying capability. The X5's primary competitors include the Acura MDX and Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
