BMW X5: specifications of the car. Features BMW X5

The Bavarian company for the production of cars does not use such frenzied popularity for its beautiful eyes, although the headlights of each new model continue to please their languid, with a hint of possible aggression, a glance. The long history of BMW, a lot of falls, and most importantly, the subsequent ups, earned earned respect and veneration, and the brand continues to attract more and more fans with its models.

BMW X5 first generation

The first sports crossover company BMW saw the light in 1999. Trying to get around all Range Rovers, Bavarian experts stuffed the X5 with electronics to the very ears. But let's look at the shelves of the BMW X5.

Specifications

The first car was introduced in the market by three models: the six-cylinder inline variant was both a gasoline and a diesel engine, and an eight-cylinder V-engine made of aluminum. It is the latter version of the motor that looks most interesting, so let's consider the technical characteristics Originally the most powerful engine.

So, the material from which the motor is made speaks for itself: it will stand in the sports model. Although the technical characteristics of the BMW X5 cars mean the sportiness of each car produced with this name. But still this engine accelerates to a hundred for 7 seconds thanks to the power of 286 horsepower and its relatively small weight. And the new gas distribution system forces the engine to give out a maximum at any speed. Add a self-tuning cooling system, continuous injection and a volume of three liters - and together with a mechanical gearbox for five gears, we get a real beast. True, despite the full drive and ground clearance of 203 mm, this is not an SUV at all. But even this buyers have forgiven such a giant as the BMW X5.

A good addition to the technical stuffing of the new crossover was an independent suspension. The distribution of torque is electronic, which means that if one wheel begins to slip, then the system delays it, and distributes the load between the remaining wheels.

Hard springs remain unbending even at maximum loading, so the height of the clearance is almost always the same.

But special attention should be paid to the brakes of the "sport utility vehicle". First and foremost, these are enlarged brake discs, which are already steadily coping with their task, but the braking system is also equipped with a mechanism for working in an emergency situation - the braking force is increased when the brake pedal is depressed to the end.

Complement the BMW X5 technical characteristics of a lot of electronic "lotion", which greatly facilitated the life of the driver during the movement.

Exterior

Fans of X5 affectionately call it a "tank", or "cabinet". This is justified by its some external cumbersomeness. It's not even hard to believe that such a large crossover was called sporty. But the fact remains. The car is almost 5 meters long, almost 2 meters wide and 170 centimeters high, very frisky on roads with different quality of coverage (that's you and not an SUV).

Sufficiently smooth lines of the hood boil down to an aggressive "muzzle": branded nostrils coexist with a very attentive "look" of the lensed headlights. At the same time the profile of the car looks smooth and rounded, and full face - sharp and clear. This car at first glance as if warns that it is full of contradictions, and only to those who sit behind the wheel, its real essence is known.

Interior

By the way, about those who sit behind the wheel: the driver's seat is very convenient. Although any place in this car is not just convenient, but as comfortable as possible.

Ergonomic seats will not allow the driver to "fall apart" behind the wheel, which will contribute to its concentration. There is a lot of space in the lounge, so passengers will not sit in crowded areas. In the basic configuration, of course, not to meet the skin, but some lack of tactile pleasure is replaced by the joy of complete control over the movement. Inserts made of wood in the cabin, which have already become a distinctive sign of BMW, dilute the monophonic interior and rest your eyes. The convenient arrangement of the buttons for controlling the automation makes it possible to get used to their location from the second trip. Also, starting with the basic equipment, the Bavarians took care of safety: the side and front pillows are in all models, ABS is also present by default.

But, like all good things, the creators of BMW decided X5 specifications do even better. And they succeeded completely.

BMW X5 second and subsequent generations

In 2003, the first updated version was released, in 2013 fans were pleased with the third generation of BMW crossovers.

Specifications

There were new, more powerful engines. Now the maximum speed of the car was 240 km / h, acceleration to a hundred took a little less than 7 seconds, and all this thanks to 320 horsepower, hidden under the hood of the X5 second generation. In the third generation, the characteristics of the BMW X5 have improved even more: it is already 407 horses, although the maximum speed remains the same - 240 km / h.

Overclocking to 100 kilometers in 5, 5 seconds was a real achievement, now on the crossover with the X5 index it was not a shame to start from the traffic light. Although the luxury class suggests that the car will own a solid businessman who will not prove anything to anyone. But it is worth remembering that the technical characteristics of the BMW X5 will allow it to do so.

Exterior

Strong changes in appearance over time has not undergone. It is worth noting that the second edition of this model was wider and longer due to the greater puffiness of the body, and the third generation was distinguished by the softest features and slender silhouette. Though all the same the car became even more long, and the road gleam, on the contrary, has decreased.

Interior

Inside, too, global change is not observed. Everything is as spacious and just as convenient in each of the new BMW models. From generation to generation, only the upholstery materials have been improved, the color palette of the panel and the center console have diversified. Slightly moved buttons, now manage a bunch of electronics has become even easier. There were cheerful variants of highlights - for every taste.

So, we can conclude: the sporting nature of BMW does not kill the desire to create an SUV, despite the characteristics of the BMW X5 . Now, thanks to the Bavarian craftsmen, we have the most unusual crossover that has become an example for many other manufacturers. But BMW, as always, remains the first and best.
