2022 BMW X5

Since its debut in 1999, the BMW X5 has set the benchmark for the modern luxury SUV—merging the driving dynamics of a sports sedan with the comfort, space, and confidence of a utility vehicle. Now in its fourth generation, the G05-chassis X5 continues to represent the sweet spot in BMW’s lineup: a sophisticated, all-weather performer equally at home on winding mountain roads or long-distance highway travel.

This 2022 X5 xDrive40i, finished in Metallic Blue over a Black interior, embodies the modern evolution of that concept. Under the hood lies BMW’s renowned B58 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, producing 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque—delivered with remarkable smoothness through an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Despite its size, the X5 remains remarkably agile, with precise steering and confident composure thanks to its well-tuned chassis and near-50/50 weight distribution.

Visually, the Metallic Blue finish highlights the X5’s assertive stance and elegant proportions, accentuated by subtle design details and sculpted bodywork that blends form with function. Inside, the cabin reflects BMW’s most current philosophy of tech-forward minimalism—centered around a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, large-format infotainment display, and refined material choices. Features such as multi-zone climate control, adaptive cruise, gesture controls, and panoramic glass roof elevate the driving experience well beyond the segment’s expectations.

While earlier generations of the X5 emphasized utility, the G05 platform marks a return to BMW’s core values of driving engagement—backed by the strength of its modular CLAR architecture and a suspension tuned as much for cornering response as for ride comfort.

With its well-balanced powertrain, comprehensive feature set, and restrained mileage, this vehicle represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a thoroughly modern, class-defining luxury SUV—one that wears the roundel proudly, and delivers on the promise of “Ultimate Driving Machine” in both name and execution.
