This model plays an important role in high-end SUV development and is even called the "King of the Road" by many car enthusiasts.
Currently, the price of the BMW X5 in Malaysia is between RM 480,800-618,800, which is basically in line with the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, but many consumers prefer the BMW X5, which is inseparable from its strong capabilities.

These systems can automatically adjust the suspension stiffness and height according to road conditions and driver preferences, providing excellent comfort and stability.

Large rims not only give the vehicle a stronger visual impact, making the entire vehicle look more luxurious and sporty, but also ensure vehicle stability at high speeds, wider tires can provide better grip, especially in slippery or complex road conditions.
