2015 BMW X5 xDrive25d 2.0 turbo diesel 218 hp

BMW X5 xDrive25d All-wheel-drive 2.0 litre 4-cyl twin-turbo diesel 218 hp

 The BMW X5 xDrive25d is the most efficient version of the model range. Rather than all-wheel drive, the BMW X5 sDrive25d has rear-wheel drive. It is not least the weight benefit deriving from this that gives it such low fuel consumption and emission levels.
With 160 kW (218 hp), the BMW X5 xDrive25d offers a dynamic drive – with a fuel consumption of a mere 5.7 to 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. Despite this fuel efficiency, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 8.2 seconds.

The diesel isn’t the familiar 2.0-litre unit seen in the 3 and 5 Series sedans, rather, it’s closely related to the engine in the old 123d Coupe.

Two turbochargers help it to make a healthy 160kW and a respectable 450Nm.

Coupled with the eight-speed auto, that's enough to propel both the sDrive and xDrive versions to 100kmh in 8.2 seconds. Fuel consumption is listed as 5.8 l/100km for the sDrive and 6.0 l/100km in the xDrive.


While those figures sound excellent for a big SUV (which they are), it's worth noting that two of the six-cylinder diesel X5s (xDrive30d and xDrive40d) offer a heap more torque (560Nm and 630Nm) yet return a fuel figure of just 6.2 l/100km.
