The new BMW X5 raises efficiency to another new level in the
world of the luxurious Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). BMW is using the 2013
Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) to present the logical next step
towards landmark efficiency in the SAV segment. The BMW Concept X5 eDrive
combines the brand of driving pleasure for which the xDrive intelligent
all-wheel-drive system is renowned and a luxurious ambience within the
variable-use interior with a plug-in hybrid drive concept. Its innovative BMW
eDrive technology guarantees the hallmark sporting ability of a BMW, while at
the same time opening the door to speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph), a maximum
range of 30 kilometres (19 miles) on electric power alone and average fuel
consumption in the EU test cycle of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (74.3 mpg
imp).
