2019 BMW X5 vs 2021

What's the difference?

The new fourth-generation BMW X5 is a bit predictable.

You guessed it - this new 2019 BMW X5 is bigger, has more technology, and has more of a focus on luxury than any version that has come before it.

And of course BMW thinks it'll be a success story in Australia, because more than 55,000 X5s have been sold here since the original model launched in 2001.

So what's the new one like? We've got the entry-level xDrive30d version here to find out.

Can you believe it’s been nearly two and a half years since the fourth-generation BMW X5 went on sale? Buyers clearly have short memories, though, because the first X model BMW ever unleashed on the world is still the best-seller in its large SUV segment.

Try as the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Volvo XC90 and Lexus RX might, but the X5 simply cannot be dethroned.

So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, there’s no better way to find out than to take a detailed look at the X5’s volume-selling xDrive30d variant. Read on.
