Safety
The X5 diesel has earned a Top Safety Pick nod from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Cars with this title have earned top scores – Good – in front, side and rear crash tests, and are also equipped with electronic stability control, which is standard on the X5 diesel.
The X5 diesel also has antilock brakes, traction control and brake assist, which boosts braking power during panic braking. It also has adaptive brake lights that illuminate across a wider area if you’re in a situation in which you need to lay on the brakes.
There are plenty of airbags, including front, side-impact and side curtain airbags for the first and second rows. However, there aren’t any side curtain airbags for the available third row. That’s one area I’d like to see BMW improve upon.
