New X5 is revealed

BMW has revealed details and pictures of its third generation X5, the top of the line of its AWD sports activity vehicles, writes Brian Byrne.

A complete new design, but retaining the style cues which have made it iconic in the segment, the new version will be produced with four diesel and one petrol engine options.

The car will have a standard 8-speed autobox, and the option of 2WD or 4WD.

Right hand drive versions will be available from November. Prices in Ireland will start at €79,450.
