The BMW X5 has been an alluring option for drivers in Fairfax for many years, and the appeal of this midsize crossover SUV has only expanded over the years.

Deciding between the 2019 and 2020 model years can be challenging, and a detailed review of their similarities and differences will help you to make a selection that you can thoroughly enjoy in the years ahead.

Performance

In 2019, the BMW X5 received exciting improvements from end to end with the introduction of the line's fourth generation. BMW has continued to upgrade the X5 since that time. Specifically, the 2020 BMW X5 is now available with the M50i trim for the first time. It receives 523 horsepower from a 4.4-liter twin-power turbo, V8 engine linked to intelligent all-wheel drive and xDrive equipment. The other four trims from the 2019 model year carry into the 2020 model year unchanged. The base trim level is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-power turbo, V6 engine. This engine produces 335 horsepower and is paired with a rear-wheel drive drivetrain. You can compare the full capabilities of these powertrains and the powertrains in the other X5 trims for 2019 and 2020 when you connect with our associates at BMW of Fairfax.

Appearance

The 2019 BMW X5 is a stunning vehicle that expresses a combination of confidence, power, and sophistication. While it has an upright stance, its profile shows off smooth curves from front to rear. At the front end, the vertical bars in the kidney-shaped grille are a beautiful contrast to the horizontal bars of the lower-fascia. Additional exterior features include a hands-free power liftgate, air vents next to the front wheel fenders, multi-elemental LED headlights, a power sunroof, foglamps, thin body cladding, and other features. There are subtle differences in the appearance of the BMW X5 from trim to trim, but the 2019 and 2020 exterior designs and features are comparable.

Features

The new M50i trim for the 2020 model year carries many of the same features as you will find in the other trim levels, but it deserves an in-person review before you finalize your purchase plans. Across most or all trims for 2019 and 2020, you can appreciate equipment like ConnectedDrive services, Apple CarPlay, SensaTec upholstery, SiriusXM satellite tech, HD Radio, a Hi-Fi sound system, a personal assistant with voice recognition, an engine start-stop button, an auto climate management system with charcoal air filtration, a navigation system, two 12.3-inch display screens, the iDrive 7.0 system, dynamic cruise control, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a few other features.
