BMW Malaysia has officially brought the locally assembled New 4th Generation BMW X5 xDrive45e M Sport to Malaysia. This new locally-assembled, electrified (aka Hybrid) variant of what they like to call as "The Boss". What could be known as the best-selling SAV in its segment worldwide, the New 2020 BMW X5 xDrive45e M Sport is like what every BMW is designed for, which is to provide supreme driving pleasure, along with a whole new level of performance, innovation and convenience. Priced at RM 440,745.00 on the road before any insurance.
At its virtual launch held today, the 17th of June 2020, Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia (seen above right,with Mr Sashi Ambi, Head of Corporate Communications of BMW Group Malaysia); said,
“The introduction of the New BMW X5 xDrive 45e M Sport not only expands our portfolio of locally-assembled vehicles here in Malaysia but also strengthens our strategy for electrified mobility for the country. The move not only underlines our commitment to continuously invest in Malaysia as a key market for the BMW Group in the region, but also our commitment to drive innovation and sustainability forward for the purpose of electromobility. All of these will be anchored by our campaign, Joy.Electrified by i,”.
The BMW X5 series of SUVs or what BMW like to call as Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), is the first SUV type of vehicle brought out by BMW back in 1999. The BMW X5 range has proven over the years as the most efficient and powerful premium Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) on the road. It has been extremely popular among BMW customers and recognisable throughout the world. As well as being one of the first car makers to actually bring fun and performance to the crossover/SUV world.
Hoelzl also said of the popularity of the BMW X5 range of vehicles here in Malaysia, “Last year, the BMW X5 accounted for more than 25% of the BMW X range deliveries with over 3,000 units. We are certain the New BMW X5 xDrive45e M Sport will continue to uphold the legacy of its iconic predecessors.”
This 4th generation BMW X5 (G05) was first unveiled in 2018. It uses a platform similar to the current G11 7 Series and the G30 5 Series from BMW. All variants feature all-wheel drive and the one we get here is powered by a3.0liter six cylinder engine with eDrive electric motor technology. It makes 394hp and a whopping 600Nm torque combined. This will be quite an experience in a straight line as any SAV that does 0-100kmh in 5.6 seconds deserves respect.
As usual, we do like our sportier looking BMWs so we have the M Sport variant offered which has the usual sporty accents. And if you think that isn't enough, there are even more M Performance options that BMW Malaysia are offering for the SAV.
The New BMW X5 xDrive45e M Sport will be available at all authorised BMW dealerships nationwide from Saturday, 20 th June 2020.
