BMW X5 Overview (2011)

In an effort to increase fuel-efficiency, BMW has employed a new Brake Energy Regeneration system on the 2011 X5, which recharges the battery during braking or coasting and is expected to save one to two percent on fuel consumption. That raises the fuel estimates for the X5 to 14-19 mpg in the city and 20-26 mpg on the highway. The aforementioned power and efficiency stacks up nicely against the Mercedes-Benz M- and G-Class, Acura MDX and Audi Q7.

Although the 2011 X5 has more than 4,000 new parts compared to the 2010 model, changes to the exterior and overall appearance are fairly subtle. Most of the changes appear on the rear fascia with a reshaped lower bumper, revised tailpipes, and a second row of LED back lights. The X5 sits on 18-inch alloy wheels with 19-inch wheels as optional equipment.

On the inside, the 2011 BMW X5 seating for five is standard, while an optional third-row brings overall capacity to seven occupants. The second and third rows fold forward to accommodate additional cargo, and you can opt for heated front and second-row seats, a panoramic moonroof, iPod/USB adaptor and power tailgate among many other features. The available iDrive system has been updated and revamped with more shortcut keys, better graphics and improved menu functionality. For an enhanced driving experience the AdaptDrive electronically controlled suspension system designed to improve vehicle cornering is available on the xDrive35i Sport Activity trim.

The 2011 BMW X5 is equipped with the latest in modern safety technologies, including all-disc antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, side curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front side-impact airbags and curtain airbags for the optional third-row. Park Distance Control, automatic high beams, rearview camera with Top View and BMW Assist (which connects you with roadside assistance) are optional.
