The BMW X5 defined a new era for the German brand as SUVs started to take control of the mainstream. BMW doesn’t think ‘Sports Utility Vehicle’ does its vehicle’s performance and athletics justice, so the marketing is that the X5 is a ‘Sports Activity Vehicle’. Now, the X5 is entering its fifth generation with a significant redesign and a move to BMW’s Neue Klasse platform. That means new styling, a new interior, and new tech while maintaining what the X5 does best – comfort and convenience underscored by athleticism and driver engagement.
