It automatically determines the ideal vehicle height settings, xDrive system, acceleration response and transmission control, and corrective inputs of the DSC system when you need to drive on sand, rocks, gravel or snow. The vehicle also gets reinforced underbody protection with the Offroad package, which further adds to the robustness of BMW X5.

A specially optimized display for offroad driving in the Central Information Display informs the driver about the various parameters like the vehicle ground clearance and the roll tendency, the inclination or the downhill gradient of the offroad section. Furthermore, the xOffroad camera view supports the driver in narrow offroad sections, providing a perfect all-round view of the vehicle.
