2 Answers
The new BMW X5 weighs 2,240 kilograms. Below are relevant details: Introduction: The BMW X5 is BMW's first four-wheel-drive SUV model, launched in the United States in 1999. This vehicle has a wheelbase of 2,975mm, a weight of 2,200kg, a top speed of 243km/h, and features front-engine four-wheel drive with a displacement of 2.0 or 3.0L. The currently available model is the fourth-generation product. Interior: Apart from the driving dashboard, the entire console appears lower, enhancing the sense of brightness inside the cabin. The central LCD display has been replaced with a large, independently designed thin-screen panel. Additionally, the new BMW X5 incorporates real wood trim and silver decorative frames. Due to the increased dimensions of the new vehicle, the interior space feels more spacious, and the rear trunk space has been expanded to 1,870 liters.
While researching the new BMW X5 recently, I found its weight fluctuates between 2,100 to 2,300 kg depending on configurations—the base model weighs around 2,150 kg, but opting for luxury packages or larger engines like the M50i increases it to over 2,300 kg. It feels extremely solid to drive, offering great stability on highways without the floatiness of lighter vehicles, though it can feel somewhat cumbersome when turning or parking in urban areas, requiring extra space. Fuel consumption is also weight-dependent; my experience shows an average of 12 to 15 liters per 100 km, slightly higher than lighter SUVs. I recommend considering daily usage when purchasing: if frequently carrying family for trips, the added sense of security from the weight is worthwhile, but for city commuting alone, a lighter version offers more agility. Additionally, variants like the all-electric iX5 are lighter at about 2,050 kg, being more energy-efficient. Overall, it's a well-balanced design ideal for those prioritizing quality.
