BMW Group Middle East has debuted the new BMW X5 in the UAE, bringing the fifth generation of the brand’s pioneering Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) to local customers through its official importers: AGMC in Dubai,Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, and Abu Dhabi Motors in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. This latest evolution combines five different drive system technologies for the first time, together with the design language and innovations of the Neue Klasse.
The launch marks the next chapter of a success story that began in 1999 by establishing the original SAV segment. With every generation, the pioneering X5 model has become more capable, more refined and more intelligent. For customers in the UAE, the new BMWX5 brings together the comfort and versatility of an SAV with the precision, balance and driving pleasure of a BMW.
Karim-Christian Haririan, Managing Director, BMW Group Middle East commented: “The introduction of the new BMW X5 in the UAE marks an important moment for BMW Group Middle East and the continued development of one of our most successful model series.Since its introduction in 1999, the BMW X5 has played a defining role in establishing the Sports Activity Vehicle segment, combining the versatility customers expect from an SUV with the driving dynamics that distinguish BMW. This fifth generation builds onthat heritage with Neue Klasse technologies, a new design language, and significant advances in digital innovation. Together with our partners AGMC and Abu Dhabi Motors, we are pleased to bring the latest BMW X5 to customers across the UAE and continue deliveringthe driving experience that has made this model so beloved across the region.”
The new BMW X5 also takes a major leap forward in terms of design. Viewed from any perspective, the clear, monolithic and powerful appearance of the car embodies the confident presence that underlines its leading position in the segment, becoming one of thekey faces of the brand. This is in large part down to the effortless melding of classic SAV proportions with the forward-looking BMW design language of the Neue Klasse to produce a harmonious, distinct end result.
The next generation of the distinctive X exterior is characterised by the upright design of the front end, the vertically aligned BMW kidney Iconic Glow and the new “double-X” light icons, making their first appearance in a BMW. The clearly structured sideview of the BMW X5 is particularly impressive, thanks in large part to the innovative door handles, the BMW Winglets. These combine progressive design with functional convenience: recessed handles requires the lightest of touches to open the electrically powereddoors.
Naturally, all models offer broad scope for tailoring the design, including eleven exterior paint colours and a precisely curated wheel range that now boasts 23-inch rims. The new BMW X5 M60e xDrive creates visual highlights emphasising its role as the sportingflagship, while the M Sport package and the M Sport package Pro provide a range of distinctive features.
High-quality M Performance Parts available.
In addition, high-quality M Performance Parts are available for the new BMW X5. Highlights of the range include striking exterior items such as the M Performance front splitter carbon fibre, M Performance roof spoiler black high-gloss, M Performance rear diffuseraramid and M Performance exterior mirror caps aramid. Also available are M Performance summer and winter complete wheels in 21- and 23-inch formats. The cabin can likewise be given an even sportier look with items such as the M Performance floor mats.
Spacious, natural and innovative: redesigned interior combines feel good atmosphere with digital user experience. One glance at the redesigned interior immediately reveals the extremely high quality of the new BMW X5. The interior impresses with clear structuresand uncluttered surfaces, producing a harmonious sense of space and calmly providing subtle support for classic BMW driver orientation.
The outstanding visual and haptic quality of the interior is also underlined by the new decorative surfaces constructed from materials such as slate and glass that generate an atmosphere of elemental sophistication. BMW is the first carmaker worldwide to offerslate as an optional decorative surface.
The BMW X5 incorporates core technologies from the Neue Klasse in the form of the new BMW Panoramic iDrive display and operating system, underpinned by BMW Operating System X. These include the Central Display in free-cut design, the BMW 3D Head-Up Display, the BMW Passenger Screen available as an optional extra in the BMW X5 for the first time, the BMW Panoramic Vision with a projection surface extending across the full width of the windscreen and the new multifunction steering wheel. This results in an all-encompassingdigital user experience centred around both the driver and their passengers.
The BMW X5 combines fascinating new technologies with a genuinely feel-good interior atmosphere. This is expressed in the lighting animations provided by the ambient light strip, a central element that creates an inviting wrap-around effect from door to doorto generate a harmonious atmosphere.
BMW X5 combines a high level of comfort with BMW typical driving dynamics and intelligent driver assistance systems.
As the sportiest SUV in its segment, the BMW X5 has long set standards in terms of driving dynamics – and the latest generation of the BMW X5 is equally impressive in its this respect. This is due in no small part to the adaptive suspension fitted as standardand axle load distribution close to 50:50. Optional extras include Adaptive Chassis Control, as well as the Adaptive Chassis Control Professional with roll stabilisation initially available for every all‑electric and plug‑in hybrid model. This system leadsthe way when it comes to blending BMW’s characteristic driving dynamics with maximum ride comfort.

The advanced Level 2 driver assistance systems and active safety functions are designed down to the smallest detail for seamless interaction between assistance and humandriving. In the BMW iX5 models, and in the upcoming BMW iX5 Hydrogen, the Heart of Joy also enables a very special experience: BMW Soft-Stop, which executes the smoothest stopping action every provided by BMW.
