    The electric motor is integrated to the 8-speed Steptronic transmission and draws the energy from a lithium-ion battery, which also supplies power to the low-voltage battery for the 12V electrical system aboard. The motor can be recharged by connecting to any standard domestic power socket or a BMW i Wallbox, as well as at public charging stations.

    The high-voltage battery is housed underneath the luggage compartment floor to save space, where it is also particularly well protected in the event of a crash. The X5 xDrive40e comes with 500 to 1,720 litres of luggage space, a three-part folding rear backrest and a luxuriously designed interior.
