🚗

The BMW X5 specifications centre on two 3.0 litre inline six engines. The xDrive40i petrol makes 381 hp and 520 Nm. The xDrive30d diesel makes 286 hp and a big 650 Nm. Both use an eight speed Steptronic automatic. The petrol peaks between 5200 and 6250 rpm.

Every X5 runs xDrive all wheel drive, across both fuels. Both engines are smooth six cylinder units. The petrol feels sharper and revs harder. The diesel torque makes it the relaxed long distance choice. The Steptronic gearbox shifts smoothly under light load. Both engines share a 12 kmpl ARAI rating, though the diesel usually goes further in use. See how the fuel figures play out.

The dimensions mark the X5 as a big SUV. Length is 4922 mm on a 2975 mm wheelbase. Width is a broad 2004 mm and height 1745 mm, giving a tall, commanding driving position. The wide track aids stability at speed. The long bonnet houses the six cylinder engine. Ground clearance measures 214 mm and the tank holds 80 litres. Place the four trims by price.

Boot space is a large 645 litres, growing further with the seats folded. The X5 is a five seater, unlike the three row X7. Seating spans two comfortable rows. The diesel carries the bigger reserves for long trips between fills. Each engine is sold in an xLine and an M Sport Pro trim. The xLine takes a softer, classic look and the Pro a sporty one. Preview the X5 paint shades to finish the spec.

BMW X5 power and torque explained

The BMW X5 gives you two 3.0 litre inline-six engines, one petrol and one diesel. Both send their power to all four wheels through an 8 speed automatic.

They pull in quite different ways. The petrol makes 386 PS and loves to rev, so it feels eager and keen for speed. The diesel makes 290 PS but leans on much stronger low-down torque, so it feels relaxed and pulls hard from low revs.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 3.0L Inline-6 Turbo Diesel spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 3.0 petrol makes 386 PS, and it saves its strongest push for high up at 5200 rpm. Its 520 Nm of torque is on hand from just 1850 rpm and holds flat to 5000 rpm, with that low starting point sitting 3350 rpm under the power peak. So it pulls willingly from low revs yet still loves to spin out, which keeps town driving easy and makes highway overtakes quick. Pick this engine if you want smooth, free revving petrol power and enjoy a bit of pace. Before you decide, it is worth seeing how the four trims compare.

The 3.0 diesel makes 290 PS, but the figure you truly feel is its 650 Nm of torque arriving at just 1500 rpm. That big pull holds all the way to 2500 rpm, so the X5 surges forward the instant you press the pedal. Peak power comes in higher up at 4000 rpm, but you rarely need to reach for it in daily driving. It stays calm at highway speeds and pulls a full load of people and luggage without fuss. Go for the diesel if you drive long distances and want strong, relaxed pull without chasing revs. It is worth checking the X5 diesel's landed cost to weigh it against the petrol.
