Certified CenterWhat comes to mind when one thinks of an SUV? Factors like generous cargo capacity and spacious passenger seating may came to mind. Speed, on the other hand, is not something that is normally associated with an SUV. This may soon change, though, thanks to the 2015 BMW x5. With the optional twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine, it can reach 60 mph in four seconds flat. The engine delivers 567 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.
In lieu of the V-8, you can also opt for a turbo-diesel six-cylinder. If you opt for the base model, then the x5 is fitted with a turbocharged six-cylinder
Speed and acceleration aside, the 2015 BMW x5 has a lot else to boast about. This includes quad exhaust pipes and 21-inch wheels. Both the rear and front suspensions have also been upgraded with stiffer springs and the inclusion of upper front control arms.
One of the innovative concepts about the 2015 BMW x5 is that it places the driver in control of more than just the navigation. For starters, the person behind the wheel will be able to use the system’s computer to shift the power distribution back and forth between the front and rear wheels. Other adjustable components include the vehicle’s throttle, transmission shifting, and shocks.
The interior also has plenty of features to appreciate. Even with the base model, additions include a 10.2-inch screen enhanced with the iDrive infotainment system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, parking sensors, and a panoramic sunroof.
With all the improvements, the 2015 BMW x5 is the standard of luxury SUVs. If this is your idea of a family vehicle, then what are you waiting for? Come on over and visit our BMW dealership serving Hendersonville.
