As the brand's first Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and the progenitor of the highly successful BMW X family, the BMW X5 has distinguished itself as a trendsetter and innovative pioneer of the future since its introduction in 1999. The new BMW X5 continues this legacy. It is the brand's first model to be launched with five different drive options.
In addition to variants with gasoline and diesel combustion engines, including 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, and plug-in hybrid models, the fifth generation of this successful model not only sees the debut of the first all-electric BMW iX5. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen will later be launched as the first BMW production vehicle with a hydrogen drive. The powertrain comprises the fuel cell system, on-board hydrogen storage in the new BMW Hydrogen flat storage tank, and an innovative high-voltage battery. The third generation of the fuel cell system enables a particularly compact design as well as a powerful and efficient system with a range of up to 750 kilometers.
