BMW X5 Engines
Each engine offers more to drivers of the 2022 BMW X5 than just impressive fuel economy ratings, though. In fact, you’ll get the power you need to handle any driving scenario with ease. This year’s BMW X5 comes with three available engines, determined by which trim you choose.
The vehicle comes standard with a 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine that delivers 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque.
If you want even more power, feel free to upgrade to the 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 or find it standard in the M and M50i trim levels. This engine churns out a jaw-dropping 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque on the M50i trim and can help the X5 go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds. On the M trim, though, you’ll have a maximum 600 horsepower.
The 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine with an integrated electric motor can reach up to 389 combined horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The 30 miles of total all-electric range of the xDrive45e is the longest range of any BMW plug-in hybrid vehicle.2
Achieving Efficiency in the X5
There are many features that contribute to this vehicle’s fuel-efficient performance. First up is an Auto Start-Stop function, which shuts off the engine when you come to a complete stop, helping save fuel. As soon as you take your foot off the brake, the car will turn back on in a seamless fashion.
Features like Brake Energy Regeneration and electronically controlled engine cooling are designed to help improve its overall performance.
No matter where your journeys take you, you’ll be well equipped to handle whatever you encounter with Driving Dynamics Control modes: ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT.
M & Hybrid Performance
To set themselves apart from the other trims, the M and the M50i include a number of standard features the others don’t. These features mainly boost performance and efficiency but also contribute to the overall handling of the vehicle. Some of those additional features include:
- M Sport Differential
- M Drive with M Dynamic Mode
- M-tuned electric power steering with M Servotronic
- M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive system
- Adaptive M Suspension with electronically controlled damper
The X5 xDrive45e trim also sports some unique performance and efficiency features of its own. In addition to a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine, you’ll have an eDrive electric motor that provides an all-electric range of up to 30 miles.2
Each engine is also mated to an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes. This component has a wider ratio spread and new control electronics to give the powertrain even more efficiency.
Other Performance Specs of the BMW X5
Overall, the 2022 BMW X5 is a great vehicle to drive. It’s sure-footed and agile while also having a taut suspension that keeps body roll in check.
Plus, it has many performance features that will enhance your driving experience. One of them is an available Dynamic Damper Control. It will instantly adjust the shock absorbers from their softest to firmest settings. That way, you can choose a ride that’s smooth and comfortable for cruising or one that’s sporty and firm for a more spirited drive.
The X5 comes standard with several features that contribute to a smooth and efficient ride, such as:
- Electric power steering
- Servotronic power-steering assist
- Lightweight multi-link integral rear suspension
- Dynamic Stability Control
Dynamic Stability Control includes Brake Fade Compensation, Start-off Assistant, Brake Drying, and Brake Stand-by features with Dynamic Traction Control and Dynamic Brake Control.
As mentioned before, body roll is kept to a minimum in the BMW X5. This is thanks to performance-elevating Active Roll Stabilization. It incorporates electric swivel motors to generate a stronger resistance to body roll.
BMW X5 XDrive & Towing Capabilities
Additionally, the X5 offers xDrive. This intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) system can split torque between the front and rear wheels with precision and speed. It will do this before wheel slip occurs to help keep you on your intended path. Then, when AWD isn’t needed, the system can shift 100 percent of the power to the rear wheels for added efficiency.
Finally, with the available factory-installed trailer hitch, you can bring along a trailer or the family boat with an impressive towing capacity up to 7,200 pounds.
