The 2021 BMW X5 is a perfect example of BMW excellence, blending unbelievable luxury with phenomenal versatility and advanced tech in a way that promises to make every trip you take feel like a truly enjoyable experience. Of course, one big decision still has to be made as you choose which 2021 BMW X5 model you’ll bring home, and that is what you want under the hood. With three available engine options, including an all-new hybrid model, you’ll have a big decision to make when you visit BMW of Montgomery for your new BMW X5 SUV.

The Standard Setup

The base engine in the 2021 BMW X5 is a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder unit that comes with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on your preference. This engine churns out 335 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque and can take this mid-size luxury SUV from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. That may not seem like something you’ll ever need, but when you’re trying to slow down for a tight clover ramp and then get up to a safe highway speed before the on-ramp runs out, you’ll appreciate having all of that punch under the hood. And when you’re not pinning it to the mat to join the highway or make a pass, you’ll enjoy up to 26 mpg on the highway!

More Power Please

Whether you just like the feeling of having more power under the hood, or your planning on hauling heavy cargo or even towing with your BMW X5, the additional grunt you’ll get form the M50i model will be sure to impress. A 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine comes exclusively with the xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, and delivers 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. Zero to 60 mph times with this engine sit at just over four seconds, ensuring you’ll never be a liability even with a boat in tow behind you.

The Hybrid Option

As the automotive landscape continues to change, electrification is becoming more and more expected, even on high-performance luxury models like the BMW X5. This model in particular pairs the standard 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder model with an integrated electric motor, boosting overall output to 389 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The zero-to-60 mph time does suffer a bit, dropping to 6.3 seconds, however, the 30 miles of electric only range and combined 50MPGe should more than make up for that slight dip in performance. It’s the ideal balance of power and efficiency, and its perfect for your Montgomery daily drives and weekend adventures alike.
