2021 BMW X5 - Everything You Need to Know !!!

What's happening guys? I'm Sean. In front of me I have a

2021

BMW x540i. So this is the base model with the six-cylinder engine. This specific vehicle has a couple of upgrades and we'll just go over them to make this work. It's a quick overview of the exterior and interior with some tech thrown in, so let's start with the front. This specific vehicle has arctic gray metallic exterior paint and again, it's a nice cloudy day, you can see all kinds of reflections on it. From the side it is a beautiful paint job looking at the front, you will be greeted with the chrome front grille.

You'll notice on the inside of the grill you have some active shutters there, which helps heat the vehicle and also helps with fuel. Inexpensive too, this vehicle has the upgraded parking assist feature that we'll talk about, but part of that gives you the camera in the front camera in the rear and two in the side mirrors when it comes to headlights, it has a pair of options, so you have your standard LED headlights, this one has laser lights, so you can tell by the little blue icon that there are laser headlights and what that means, which you can turn it off individually, depending on the car that's coming in front of you. certain lights that don't blind people get better visibility so there's a greater distance and it's a whiter light so just a brighter light generally has fog lights on the bottom and then has a couple of parking distance centers in the front and rear when it comes to the front it also has a couple of different configurations so this is your standard x line as you see here it has chrome accents on the bottom of the part Up front, you also have the option of getting an M Sport package, so what's that for?

With the license plate down you get a more aggressive grille so it gives it a sportier look and looking under the license plate you will see one of the sensors here that helps with the adaptive cruise control that the vehicle has which makes it our up to here and we're going to zoom in a little bit too so you get a nice side shot again. x line package, you will see chrome gives chrome on the windows, chrome on the bottom and you have chrome roof rails like Well, m sport gets rid of all the chrome so it just darkens

everything

looking at the tires.

So this, the

2021

x5 comes standard with 20-inch wheels that you see on the vehicle right now with run-flat tires, you have the option. depending on m sport and m sport and different versions to get to a 22 inch rim so you have 20 21 22 and then you also have the option of using high performance tires that eliminate punctures obviously better performance. through a oriented vehicle, this one has the standard brakes but also has the option of the ups, the upgraded m sport tires that I mentioned on the side, the park assist, there is a side camera, LED lights on the side and this vehicle has its blind spot, so you have it on both sides of the mirrors, okay, still stuck in my pocket, but looking at the rear again, you have dual exhaust and at the bottom, the rear valance has a little bit of silver brushed and then you have the park. distance controls or sensors at the rear, there is also the rear view camera integrator light at the top and then you will see the shark fin antenna with the panoramic sunroof at the top, which folds out a little further if you look at the remote control you have.

There are a couple of ways to open the vehicle, so if you tap this button here right now, it's set to open both shells, but if you want, you can leave this bottom closed here and it basically protects the elements or, if you want . a dog here for example who is trying to get out is preventing them from getting out so in the back space you have about 56 cubic feet of space if you have the back seats down it's about 72 correct me if I'm wrong so on this vehicle, you can use the latches here to lower and lower the seats depending on trim options.

This can actually be upgraded to buttons as well as hangers for supermarket hooks, LED lights for the rear, its fastening system, so it's a 40 20 40 split and because it's flat tires. This vehicle has no spare, so you have a little extra cargo on the bottom. Here you'll see kind of rear mats down there and then you've got a couple of kits and lock nuts. kind of essentials down there, okay, so you've got a couple of options for this vehicle. You can use this button here to close the back shell. This button here actually helps lower the vehicle so if you're loading heavy items into the vehicle press this and with the air suspension it will actually lower the rear and then at the top it has a close button and you can close and lock the door also if you leave with the shopping, okay, so let's go Head to the front.

I'm going to go over the engine now and a couple of differences that you get with most modern BMWs. If you use the latch to open it twice, all you have to do is lift it and it opens the front back. front hood again, no sharp spikes around here, but what you receive here is the standard base model, uh, engine, so it has a 3.06 cylinder turbo engine that produces about 335 horsepower and 330 lbs. -ft of torque, but in the future, I have driven the audi q7, although it feels faster. the numbers may be different if you look at the back and see these little purple wires on the back of the 2021 model.

They actually introduced a 48 volt mild hybrid, basically what it does is help a little bit with fuel economy, but It also helps power your electronics, so it puts less strain on the battery and less directly on the engine, and it also improves fuel economy a bit, so in a vehicle like this, you're getting between 21 and 25 mpg depending. where you drive or in In Canadian terms, as little as 9 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway with this vehicle or the x5 platform, you have a couple of options, so this is the 40 model with the turbo six reintroduced in In 2021, it is 45e, so it is a complement. -in hybrid gives you a combined output of approximately 389 horsepower and almost 60 kilometers of range in an electric model, making it a great addition to the BMW family.

Otherwise m50i 4.4 liter twin turbo v8 523 horsepower or you can step up to an x5m and If you get the competition edition you will almost have about 617 horsepower so there are a lot of different options depending on what kind of power you are looking for . Okay, I'm going to go back and look at the back seat, so as we get into the back seat, we'll start again with the side door. They greet you with a bit of leather on the side. You also have some ambient lighting here, so that's about six different colors. fusia blue green orange bronze and different versions of those also this vehicle has the side sunshades up here again they are manual but it is good if you have children in the back quite deep cup holders also this vehicle has the vernasca The leather seats are a standard seat in the vehicle.

You have the option to upgrade these seats to an extended or full merino seat, which will give you softer, plusher seats, giving you a little more luxurious feel. I move towards the interior, what he sees. In front of me is the travel and convenience system, so it gives you a USB charger behind both seats and a lot of people will ask, do you have a rear entertainment system? Yes, you can get it on a x5, but you can also. Get an adapter that connects to an iPad on the back here too. I'm going to look over there for the reason that I show that I'm about six foot two and the front seat is set up for someone like me.

I have a lot of room, I can move my feet underneath, I have a little bit of storage space underneath, so I have plenty of room back here for taller people. Again, you have a latch system down here to make the car seats babies. This vehicle is perfect for them. Just by looking at the side door, one of the telltale signs that it has an upgraded stereo system is the type of silver pattern there, so this vehicle has the upgraded Harman Kardon sound system. Something better is the explosion and all the sin I have. I mean, once you understand that, you'll never go back, okay, and you've got some piano black trim on the rear rear vents, this is for zone climate control so everyone can control their own climate, heating, heated seats in the rear, quite optional and then. finally there's your armrest, you've got a little bit of storage space underneath, a little bit of a jam, but you've also got the cup holders down there, okay, there's your front, I just want to show the front a little bit before I go up and show the sunroof scenic, so today is a beautiful day with 18 degree weather in Canadian degrees Celsius, which means it's relatively warm here in Canada, but it's got great visibility, so let's go to the front and go over some of the options before open. the front door i just want to go over the door handle so you will see some screws back here and you will have heard the door lock there and you have this little slot here so the bmw x5 also comes with a card access. so you can use a card to touch to unlock or lock and also start the vehicle, so go to another avenue instead of carrying the keys, you can also go in that direction and when you close the door you have the ability to power side fold. mirrors, so we're opening the vehicle again, there's a quick introduction to the interior of the front again to start with the driver's side door, you have your four-way adjustable windows, you have your side mirrors, locks, handle of the door, trunk and you have two seats with memory.

The good thing about this button is that it gives you the ability to adjust the passenger seat. It's a great thing, if you

know

pregnant wives, grandparents, anyone who has difficulty getting into the vehicle, you can adjust it. the seat is more comfortable for them, continues the ambient lighting and has some oak wood trim with Harman Kardon speakers and a tweeter on top. Looking at the seat, this is a comfortable seat, so you'll notice that when looking at the bolsters. Less dramatic than sport seats, so again easier to get in and out of. The softer seat is also better for more body styles and you also have 20-way adjustable seats down there, so again it's more comfortable for more different body types.

Automatic fog lights. turn your standard features back on, you've got a little cubby down here for a power tilt and telescoping wallet style automatic window, and if I pull my weight you're greeted with a nice reinforced steering wheel, so again this general has the heated button . At the bottom, this specific vehicle has adaptive cruise control, so it has the advanced driver assistance package. Again you can set the speed, you can set the distance, as you'll notice here, and moving to the right side you'll have your volume buttons your different tracks answer your phone talk to the vehicle or talk to Siri or Android Auto and what I'll do now is boot the vehicle from the front with the brake and you will be greeted by a nice 12.3 inch fully digital display again these frames are on the side just depending on whether you are in sport mode or comfort mode like I am now so if I go In sport mode you will notice it there if I go to eco pro.

The mode changes to a fuel saver screen on top and hopefully the camera captures it. You have the head-up display that is available on this vehicle, so it will show the speedometer. Basically, speed limits, uh, navigation, incoming phone calls change. your radio stations, you get quite a few options by looking at the steering wheel, you have the paddle shifters back here, on the left side, you have the turn signals, the trip computer, the automatic headlights as well and on the right side you have the front and rear. The windshield washer controls as well, so if we look at the steering wheel again, this is your standing wheel.

It has the m-sport steering wheel that basically softens it up and gives it more boost, that's our 12 inch, uh, I drive 7. so it's been updated, it's the latest generation, we have idrive 8 in the new electric models, but that's it we look forward to early next year, looking down, it has heated seats on both sides, it has defrosts, uh, recirculation and then it does. I have again four zone climbing control as I mentioned on the back, completely customizable with a little screen here, hazard lights and then this button here gives you the ability to adjust thesafety features in the vehicle, so I press a couple of different buttons, but press that one more time if I'm going to configure individually, you can control the type of distance you want your forward collision mitigation to be or how sensitive you want it to be as well so you have side collision warning lane departure warning active blind spot lane assist like Well, in the front and this vehicle has the rear cross traffic alert, the traffic gem assist is basically loaded with all kinds of features of driver assistance that can make you semi-autonomous depending on the situation you're in, at the bottom you'll see programmable buttons, so eight. different programmable buttons that can go to a phone number, navigation settings, radio station, etc., different modes and bands, and there's the volume control button, different tracks there and you'll notice a continuation of the lighting down here Environmental, it is a little earlier during the day, but at night it looks really impressive.

Go through the front board. If we open this, you are greeted with heated and cooled cup holders. 12 volt outlet and another USB on the other side. Something quick to keep in mind: this standard USB. This is the only one. type of USB that you have in the vehicle,

everything

else is the new USBC, so if you have a lot of old cables, one thing to keep in mind, I talked about out of our memory, digital memory key. this is the key of memory here or the digital key, you can use it, keep it in your wallet, use it to unlock the lock or even start the vehicle by leaving the key up here and it also has the wireless charger hidden down there. the shift lever and if we zoom in a little bit you have the traction control and then these two buttons here, if I press the top one it has your rear view camera, if I press the bottom one, you will notice your rear camera with trajectory and it tells you If you you are getting closer to the objects, the 360 ​​camera, with the parking assist function, actually automatically, as you can see there, it will automatically find a parallel parking or a reverse parking space for you, and you will also

know

if you are in that place .

Downtown, for example, and it is more difficult for you to park a larger vehicle. The vehicle is completely autonomous, so what it will do is find the parking space, press the park button and it will control the brakes, the steering wheel and the acceleration. Just sit down. and wait for it to do its job under that backup assist, basically if you are driving in a difficult place and you don't feel comfortable reversing, the vehicle will actually take the same exit that you came in up to a certain distance and we will close . There are four different buttons down here, so most of the time you'll have the comfort setting, which is a combination of sport and ecopro settings, which will make the suspension tighten up a little bit and hold the rpms a little bit. so if you are overtaking someone on the highway it is a good option to have o eco pro, if you are doing a long distance trip and want to save gas a great adaptive option is a fairly new button in the BMW family so what it does is between finding the best mode among these three, it actually uses GPS data to say you know what curves are coming, it will automatically adjust itself into a sport mode so you don't have to keep pressing and completing the buttons below that h automatic to make it automatic.

Electronic parking brake, parking brake and hill descent, actually before you go there, so this vehicle comes with air suspension, as you can notice, here you have four different settings, really if you are driving, sorry, five settings different, but if you are driving there are four. different settings and a charge button on the bottom on the x5 you have basically three different suspensions that you can get to get your standard suspension which is on each model air suspension which is designed more for driving like you're on a cloud or a adaptive m suspension that tightens that tightens the suspension makes it have a sportier feel again customizable and you can get any option depending on your style this is the improved i driving system again it has the ability to type letters and shortcuts all over the buttons As an option, in the upper rear part there is also your cabin and you can store manuals and things like that there.

If we look to the side here, it opens like this again. I mentioned USBC down there, a small pocket light and my gear, but pretty deep storage. The only interesting thing I wanted to mention is that when you turn on the heated seat, this actually heats up too, so it warms your arms, you can heat up the steering wheel and you can heat up the seat so that in the middle of winter you stay nice and toasty outside. of that looking at the eye driving system again you do it is touch capability you have means so you can enter am fm sirius xm spotify radio integration communications your phone this with phones this vehicle has wireless apple carplay wireless android auto more people will use that and On the updated i Drive 7 it takes up the entire screen, unlike older BMWs that only filled half of the navigation.

What is the traditional navigation that you see on most BMWs again, this is one of the cleanest. interfaces, if you are looking for a location, you can type ice cream or type 1 2 3 main street, whichever you prefer. Car configurations down here so that it has different states. From here you can see how your engine oil is performing when your next service arrives. to the settings and then you can adjust different options here again if you want to adjust your seat position you can always adjust that as well and then you have the BMW apps, I mentioned Apple Carplay Android Auto, but if we look at the installed apps, one of the best What I wanted to get your attention was the driving recorder, so with the driver's room it uses the front camera, the rear camera and the two side cameras to record while driving, which is why a lot of people are putting those dash cameras with frontal camera. in your vehicle for safety and insurance reasons, if God forbid you may have an accident, you can extract the latest information or the latest video of this vehicle and send it to your insurance company, so again, if It's not your fault, I have proof that you are not a failure.

Something cool BMW added. Like and you have my BMW so it connects with the BMW app and gives you the functionality or the ability to start the vehicle remotely from the app or the key as well and check. things like where you park your vehicles send directions to your vehicle's fuel for example in service it's really cool to have those features there looking at the frameless mirror and then you have the garage openers on the bottom LED lights on the top so that it has individual lights, you can open the sunroof or ventilate it from there and you also have the SOS button on the top.

The black headliner BMW does this on most if not all of their vehicles so I like it, it just makes it sportier and there's your back seat too. well, and your visibility, so blind spots also disappear in this vehicle.
