2023 BMW X5 Review

​

Balanced Performance

The 2023 BMW X5 features an engine that allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds. It has the standard power to deliver 335 horsepower, which gives you quick acceleration when you need it most. This 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine also comes with 48V mild-hybrid technology.

This is what allows it to produce so much power while still getting up to an EPA-estimated 21 city and 26 highway MPG.¹ There are also additional powertrains you can pick among depending on the performance you prefer.

If you want even more power, the available 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine can generate up to 600 horsepower. Then, there is the optional plug-in hybrid engine, which can give you even more efficient driving from day to day.

Plenty of Space and Tech to Enjoy Inside the BMW X5

Equally impressive as what is found under the hood, the 2023 BMW X5 interior has a lot to offer you and your passengers as well. You’ll first notice how much space there is throughout the cabin.

Everyone can stretch out their legs with 39.8 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom. You can enjoy anywhere from 33.9 to 72.3 cubic feet of cargo volume inside the 2023 BMW X5 depending on if you fold the second row of seats flat. This gives you versatility whether you are driving around with the kids or buying some new items for your home.

Then, to enjoy personalized connectivity as you drive, you can utilize the standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional. With a Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster and Central Information Display, you can keep alert of your car’s performance, always stay one turn ahead, and tune into your favorite podcast. Even make calls and safely respond to texts when wirelessly connecting your phone through Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay™.

Safety Assistance as You Drive

The 2023 BMW X5 also features other tech that can help to keep you alert and assist you in various situations so you can potentially avoid or mitigate collisions along your drive. One of those systems is standard Frontal Collision Warning.

When driving in the city, there is always a lot happening around you, so this system works to keep you aware of what’s ahead so you limit the chances of a collision with a car that suddenly stops in front of you.

Then, as you cruise the highways, standard Active Blind Spot Detection can let you know when another car is approaching from the lane next to yours. With it, you can confidently know when it is safe to change lanes. Once you then reach your destination, standard Park Distance Control can help you fit into a parking spot and avoid hitting the curb, another car, or other objects nearby.
