BMW X5 G05/F95 M50i Steptronic Sport - Terrain

Can the BMW X5 G05/F95 M50i Steptronic Sport also be used off-road? Here often a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The BMW X5 has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 214 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The BMW X5 has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
