These combine the technical<br \/>\n    innovations and exciting design of the BMW X5 with the<br \/>\n    future-oriented technologies of the Neue Klasse and features that<br \/>\n    have been designed to meet the expectations of the Chinese car<br \/>\n    market and its customers.<\/p>\n<p>\n    Exclusive comfort on wheelbase extended by 130 millimetres\u00a0<br \/>\n    <br \/>The most important distinguishing feature of this model variant<br \/>\n    for the Chinese market is the extended wheelbase. This is 130<br \/>\n    millimetres longer than the wheelbase in the BMW X5 model variants<br \/>\n    available elsewhere in the world, with a total length of 3,165\u202fmm.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This long wheelbase delivers an even more comfortable and stable<br \/>\n    driving experience, while also providing a more spacious cabin<br \/>\n    environment with plenty of legroom, especially in the rear<br \/>\n    compartment. It also underlines the unmistakeable proportions of the<br \/>\n    BMW X5 and BMW iX5, adding a dash of elegance when viewed from the<br \/>\n    side and contributing to a particularly self-assured appearance. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n    Distinctive design characteristics for BMW X5 and BMW<br \/>\n    iX5.\u00a0<br \/>The striking diagonal light icons are another<br \/>\n    distinctive design characteristic of the BMW X5 and the BMW iX5 for<br \/>\n    China. According to personal preference, customers can also request<br \/>\n    to switch to light icons with a double-X design. Additional light<br \/>\n    strips between the light icons and the BMW kidney Iconic Glow<br \/>\n    emphasise the depth effect inherent in the design of the front end<br \/>\n    and also form part of the dynamic welcome and goodbye animations. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The BMW X5 also boasts a front end redesigned for the Chinese<br \/>\n    market.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n    Interior combines luxurious comfort with the intelligence of<br \/>\n      the Neue Klasse.\u00a0<br \/>The BMW X5 and the BMW iX5 for the<br \/>\n    Chinese market also feature a new, clearly-structured interior<br \/>\n    design concept with streamlined surfaces and refined decorative<br \/>\n    elements. Wide-ranging adjustments based on a new, monochromatic<br \/>\n    colour concept elevate the relaxed interior ambience to a new level.<br \/>\n    Specially developed seating for both front passenger and rear<br \/>\n    occupants also improve ride comfort. Premium materials such as slate<br \/>\n    and glass blend with the inviting atmosphere of the cockpit to<br \/>\n    underscore the luxurious spatial concept, incorporating highlights<br \/>\n    powered by the technologies of the Neue Klasse, in the form of the<br \/>\n    three-dimensional backlit accent strip with integrated ambient<br \/>\n    lighting. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new BMW Panoramic iDrive display with BMW\u202fOperating\u202fSystem X is<br \/>\n    integrated seamlessly into the interior design with BMW Panoramic<br \/>\n    Vision, a free-cut Central Display that appears to float, and the<br \/>\n    BMW\u202fPassenger\u202fScreen available for the BMW X5 for the first time.<br \/>\n    Digital innovations, specifically adjusted to the requirements and<br \/>\n    expectations of Chinese customers, blend with the relaxed ambience<br \/>\n    to deliver a unified, harmonious experience. The next iteration of<br \/>\n    BMW Theatre Screen is a true highlight in the Chinese models,<br \/>\n    delivering top-quality entertainment to the rear compartment with 8K<br \/>\n    streaming and gaming and significantly simplifying mobile working in<br \/>\n    the car with the video call function. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n     Focus on driving pleasure in all models.<br \/>\n    \u00a0<br \/>Regardless of the type of drivetrain, the BMW X5 and<br \/>\n    BMW iX5 continue to boast the driving pleasure that is typical of<br \/>\n    BMW. Both benefit from adaptive two-axle air suspension as standard,<br \/>\n    which absorbs the effect of uneven surfaces to provide a<br \/>\n    particularly comfortable driving experience. For more than 20 years,<br \/>\n    BMW has been a pioneer in the development of driver assistance<br \/>\n    systems, always placing safety and reliability under complex,<br \/>\n    real-world conditions at the forefront. For the new generation of<br \/>\n    intelligent BMW driver assistance in China, BMW combines decades of<br \/>\n    experience in functional integration and operational safety with the<br \/>\n    strengths of locally trained end-to-end AI, developed in partnership<br \/>\n    with the Chinese company Momenta. The result is a unique system for<br \/>\n    navigation-guided \u201cAddress-to-Address\u201d driver assistance. The<br \/>\n    central computer for automated driving works in harmony with \u201cHeart<br \/>\n    of Joy\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, the new combustion-engine BMW X5 will be<br \/>\n    available in China alongside the all-electric BMW iX5 featuring<br \/>\n    innovative sixth-generation \u00a0<br \/>BMW eDrive Technology. In<br \/>\n    conjunction with the high-voltage battery concept, this enables<br \/>\n    confident, effortless electric travel with a range over 1,000 km<br \/>\n    (CLTC). Market launch is scheduled for 2027. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new BMW X5 and the first BMW iX5 are being introduced as standalone model variants in China.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20955],"tags":[6213,47546,47545,23285],"class_list":["post-62047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bmw","tag-bmw","tag-g78","tag-long-wheelbase","tag-x5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
