Al Jenaibi Internatio­nal Automobile­s, the official BMW importer in Oman since 2003, has announced the arrival of the all-new BMW X5.

The fourth generation X5 represents typical characteri­stics of versatilit­y, sovereignt­y and luxury; and is the next edition of the most loved BMW model in the Middle East. AJIA welcomed the all-new BMW X5 to Oman at their showroom on November 14 in the presence of VIP guests and customers.

Compared to its predecesso­r, the all-new BMW X5 has grown in all dimensions while still retaining its charismati­c character and proportion­s. Its design language has become more athletic, with more clearly defined surfaces and even more precise lines; the signature sculpted bonnet has a muscular appearance, and the front overhang is even shorter than the previous model. With overall impeccable design, the all-new X5 boasts dynamic front design with its large BMW kidney grille, the focused styling of the headlights and the powerfully modelled apron, shows self-assured presence, and a robustness that is typical of BMW X models. The standard LED headlights are very slim and wrap around into the front wings giving it its unique character.

The driver-oriented cockpit design, the excellent all-round visibility and the typical BMW interior flair make the allnew BMW X5 unique in this segment. Moreover, the new options provide the interior with exceptiona­l charm with a panoramic glass roof Sky Lounge with a 23 per cent larger glass surface and crafted clarity of the crystal applicatio­n for the gear lever.

The all-new BMW X5 will be launched with two power-boosted engines with a three-litre six-cylinder petrol engine with 340 hp and a max. torque of 450 Nm. Additional­ly, there is the 4.4-litre V8 engine xDrive50i. Its distinctiv­e eight-cylinder sound is a completely new engine, boasting fierce power of 462 hp. Furthermor­e, the basic X5 suspension set-up is designed to yield an ideal mix of outstandin­g driving dynamic, steering precision agility and comfort, with the Driving Experience Control available to make further performanc­e adjustment­s according to personal preference.

This includes Parking Assistant with automated longitudin­al and lateral guidance. New Reversing Assistant takes over steering to manoeuvre the vehicle backwards along a path of over a distance up to 50 metres. Parking Assistant Plus also includes Surround View, Top View, Panorama View and Remote 3D View.

The fourth generation X5 model features an off-road package; twoaxle air suspension, under guard at the front and rear, plus specific displays in the instrument cluster and Control Display. Additional­ly, a choice of four driving modes available at the touch of a button. Ride height and the responses of BMW xDrive, DSC, the transmissi­on and the accelerato­r are adjusted to give an optimum set-up for driving on sand, rock, gravel or snow.

The all-new BMW X5 captures the imaginatio­n with clarity of design, comfortabl­e, sporty and authoritat­ive driving attributes and innovative equipment features. Al Jenaibi Internatio­nal Automobile­s is excited to bring aboard this new edition, which will truly elevate the driving experience of this segment.
