The previous generation BMW X5 interior was capacious enough to accommodate five adults in supreme comfort. There is ample room in the back for large cargo and multiple travelling bags. However, BMW has answered to the plea of those who want the X5 to become a true people carrier: the X5 can now be specified with an added third row of seats.
How does this affect the new BMW X5 interior? Not much, actually. Do not expect tons of leg, shoulder and headroom in the third row as children and small people (including large dogs) only will sit comfortably in the third row of the X5. The good news is that the X5 remains to be a competent all around SUV that delivers spirited driving performance that is indeed worthy of the BMW badge.
The new BMW X5 not only has a marginally larger interior but some markets will also get to experience the efficient yet powerful nature of BMW’s new inline turbocharged petrol engines. UK car buyers still get the familiar 5.0-litre petrol V8 that provides 408bhp and a combined fuel mileage of 22.6mpg. Diesel car lovers will surely appreciate the X5 30d and 40d both in SE and Sport trims as both are capable of achieving an average of 37 or more miles to the gallon. Talk about power and efficiency: the X5 30d produces 245bhp while the X5 40d produces 306hp.
The BMW X5 interior is a classic mix of familiar BMW driver-oriented values with a sleek and modern touch. All BMW’s have relatively simple interiors with a touch of extravagance. The buttons and the controls, even the cup holder, feel solidly built and meant to last the life of the car. The dashboard materials are made from soft touch plastics that feel expensive to the touch. The BMW X5 is the ultimate sport activity vehicle designed to complement your active lifestyle.
