BMW reveals new 2015 X5 Security Plus in Moscow

 BMW is going to exhibit the 2015 X5 Security Plus at the Moscow Motor Show. The armored SAV (sports activity vehicle) was previewed as a concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, but now a production model is ready to hit the market.

 2015 BMW X5 Security Plus comes with safety glass, special protection of seams, joints and connections of elements of the body. The model will have a protection class rating of VR6.

The engine is the well-known 4.4 liter TwinPower Turbo V8 – 450HP (330 kW) and 650Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque. No words about performance, but the normal X5 xDrive50i accelerates 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Since, the armored model will be a lot heavier, the performance will suffer, but the overall dynamics will be good enough.

At the Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS 2014), BMW will present the latest innovations of its model range and innovative technologies for even greater driving pleasure. Visitors to the exhibition, which opens its doors to the public from August 29 to September 7, 2014 at the Crocus Expo exhibition area (Crocus Expo IEC), will be able to get acquainted with the diversity of the modern model line brands, including new items: the leader segment SAV – BMW X3 and coupe for active recreation (SAC – Sports Activity Coupe) BMW X4.
