The length, width, and height dimensions of the BMW X5 are 4930mm/2004mm/1776mm, which are the official data. The length of the BMW X5 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The powertrain lineup will consist of two diesel engines and two gasoline engines: a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 231 horsepower; a 4.5-liter V8 diesel engine with an output of 330 horsepower; a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine with an output of 258 horsepower; and a V8 gasoline engine with an output of 367 horsepower. There are relevant national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89" issued, the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in national standards is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
I remember the dimensions of the BMW X5 quite clearly. It's 4,930 mm long, just about 4.93 meters, 2,004 mm wide, slightly over two meters, and 1,776 mm tall, roughly 1.78 meters. The car drives very steadily, given its weight, but you need to be a bit careful when parking, especially since the width exceeds two meters—it might require extra attention in tight parking spots like those in shopping malls. Adding rear-wheel steering as an option makes it easier. The trunk depth is sufficient for large suitcases, and the rear seats offer ample space, particularly legroom. However, its height isn't particularly tall for an SUV, so you generally don't have to worry about height restrictions in underground parking, which is quite practical.
