BMW has launched the third generation of the X5 lineup, the new BMW X5 M50d, which is due to arrive in European showrooms on 16 November 2013. The new BMW X5 M50d is a sporty SUV from BMW’s M Performance line and it features the world’s most powerful six-in-line diesel engine.
The 2014 BMW X5 M50d is powered by the EU6-compliant 3.0-liter tri-turbo engine developing an output of 280 kW /381 hp and a peak torque of 740 Newton metres (546 lb-ft). Power is transferred to the road by an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive.
The car accelerates from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.3 seconds with fuel economy improved by more than ten per cent compared with the predecessor model. Average fuel consumption for the new BMW X5 M50d is 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres (42.2 mpg) in the EU test cycle, with CO2 emissions of 177 g/km.
The BMW Individual range specifically created for the new BMW X5 turns an even brighter spotlight on its elegant design, luxurious ambience and exclusive character. Factory-fitted exterior and interior equipment options play their part in imbuing the Sports Activity Vehicle with a highly distinctive charisma.
