BMW Group Middle East has confirmed that customers in the Middle East can now purchase the all-new BMW X5 with a second engine variant – the BMW XDrive35i. This latest model joins the BMW X5 xDrive50i that was launched in the Middle East late last year.
Established back in 1999, the first generation BMW X5 was the first vehicle of its kind to combine superior dynamics on-road with impressive off-road characteristics thanks to BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system. Since its inception, the BMW X5 has been the absolute market leader in the Sports Activity Vehicle segment, and one of BMW’s best-selling model series accounting for almost a third of all BMW models sold globally.
In the Middle East, the BMW X5 continues to be one of the company’s best-selling models. In 2013, 3,624 X5 vehicles were sold across the region. The top markets for X5 sales included Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar which accounted for 56 percent, 19 percent and 7 percent respectively. The all-new BMW X5 xDrive35i is expected to further amplify the vehicle’s success story across the region.
The design of the new BMW X5 combines the X hallmark characteristics with the power, presence and the sportiness of classic BMW models. An even more expressive front-end look with twin circular headlights extending into the new broad-set kidney grille; an elegantly stretched silhouette, new distinctive rear and a new Sparkling Brown colour option.
Inside the redesigned exterior of the new BMW X5 is a more luxurious interior environment with a selection of high quality leather and trims available, atmospheric lighting options and increased spaciousness. In addition, an optional third row of seats will turn the new BMW X5 into a seven-seater.
