Almost looks like the old one - the new BMW X5. Nevertheless, it is more economical and more. How does the BMW SUV drives with three-liter diesel, read here.

November 2013 is the new BMW X5 at the dealership - AUTO BILD was already in the car on the road. The X5 carries a new front with a three-dimensional kidney now - as for the 3 - and sharper looking headlights. The most conspicuous change is the rear spoiler with the black air control blades above the window. Also the slots on the side serve of aerodynamics, here the air comes out again, which should be previously flowed past as a curtain at the wheels. The drag coefficient is 0.31 with a cd as low as for a pretty good cars

Internal repeats the game: At first glance, it looks like so far, the second does not. The navigation screen is free now, and also the X5 has the driving experience switch on board, which allows to steering, throttle and shift tune, with Adaptivfahrwerk the damper. The iDrive controller now has a surface for writing. Remained unchanged for the generous proportions. People sit in the rear large airy and comfortable. Around 1980 € extra charge there is also a third row of seats. The trunk has risen slightly, now fit 650-1870 liters into it, so far there were 620-1750 liters. The rear seat backrest is divided into three parts.

The three-liter six-cylinder now produces 258 hp. He turns wonderfully lively and supple, the X5 accelerates confidently without being hectic. He remains surprisingly quiet, leaves most a friendly buzz of hear - the only reminder in top gear at an angry hornet. This is the performance quite appropriate. In 6.9 seconds you want the X5 storm to 100 km / h, and a maximum of 230 km / h run. As before, the series of six plays a neat one-two with the fine eight-speed automatic, both harmonize perfectly. As consumption is BMW now 6.2 liters, which seems unlikely in everyday life. We could accurately measure the new X5 yet, after the first 500 kilometers, including urban transport and medium high mountains, the onboard computer was at 8.1 liters, the. Only as a first orientation.

BMW offers four different suspension packages 1800-5100 euros for the X5. The test-30d had the comfort package, and can be regarded as successful. The suspension responds amazingly sensitive, which is pleasantly quiet X5. The steering is now electro-mechanically instead of the previous hydraulically, but do not worry, the BMW has a good grip - we want but still some more feedback and sensitivity. Even so, the X5 continues remarkably compact - the dimensions and weight make you forget when he dives nimbly through city traffic or sweeps over the switchbacks.
The cost of the BMW X5

The new X5 starts at 52,100 euros - there is the xDrive 25d with two-liter four-cylinder diesel without all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, it costs 54,700 euros - and will, as I said, at the end of the year. The driven here from November BMW xDrive 30d provides for 59,400 euros - 4100 euros more than previously little more about the new BMW X5, you'll learn in the AUTO BILD 35/2013
