2014 BMW X5 Prices and Specifications revealed (US)

BMW introduced the X5 Sports Activity vehicle back in 1999, and brought an entirely new segment in the automotive industry, which was followed by others later. One can easily identify the popularity of the vehicle by seeing over 1.3 million units sold since its introduction. BMW X5 never lost its charm, and after two generations and over 1.3 million vehicles, the X5 is set to enter its third generation. As its predecessors have done before, the all-new 3rd generation X5 will again set new standards for luxury, versatility and – because it is a BMW first and foremost – driving dynamics.

BMW has announced the US pricing of the third-generation X5, which was recently unveiled in the states.
