BMW X5
 


 

Hey SUV companies, meet your worst nightmare. This is the new BMW X5. This is BMW's first ever sport utility vehicle. Or sport-activity vehicle as it's technically called. This is a huge step for BMW. Now BMW has a fighting chance against other luxury SUV companies such as Mercedes, Lexus, and may even compete with Jeep. The BMW comes standard with 18 inch tires and can even be upgraded to 19 inch tires. You might also notice the four rear tailpipes which is unusual for SUV's. Another thing you might notice are small round sensors in the rear bumper. This is for the backup warning system, which is also found in the Cadillac Evoq.

The X5's interior contains lots of luxurious wood trimming with high mounted climate controls. The leather seats creates lots of comfort for all passengers and the driver. Another plus for the X5 is that it contains lots of cargo space in the doors, the console, the glove compartment, and excellent cup holders. The car is also very roomy. People who are six feet tall don't have to worry about head room anymore because the X5 has enough headroom and leg room for tall people. The interior volume is approximately 48 cubic feet. The X5 is a perfect car for tailgate parties. For starters the tailgate floor measures about
