BMW X5 G05/F95 xDrive40i M Sportpaket Steptronic Sport - Terrain

Is the BMW X5 G05/F95 xDrive40i M Sportpaket Steptronic Sport also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars 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.



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.
