BMW announced the prices for the 2016 X5 xDrive40e in Germany a couple of days ago and now, the carmaker is already preparing the plug-in hybrid SUV for the United States, where it will arrive at the end of the year as a 2016 model.

The carmaker is asking a standard price of $63,095, which is higher than the six-cylinder X5, which comes with $54,895 in the sDrive and $57,195 in the standard xDrive.

As the European sibling, the 2016 BMW X5 xDrive40e will arrive in the US with an evolutionary design, while the cabin will offer a generous space for both passengers and their luggage. We are talking here about an overall cargo capacity standing at 1,720 liters.

Under the hood, the 2016 X5 BMW xDrive40e will pack the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, backed by an electric motor, both configurations developing an overall 308 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. The hybrid powertrain is also hooked to a 9.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, with a presuming 13 mile range. Apart the fuel-efficiency capacity, the xDrive40e is also extremely environmentally friendly, the hybrid SUV coming with CO2 emissions standing at 78-77 g/km.

The new BMW 5-Series is there, is coming and is coming big time in 2016, expected to carry on the legacy of the present F10/F11 in terms of design and technology.

And the rendering here with the 2016 BMW 5-Series should give us a closer hint on how the future model will look like in the near future.

We should find the same soft rounded design that we have been accustomed with so far, with the headlights to flow into the kidney grille, alongside the dynamics side panels.

More than that, the aggressive look will also be displayed by the same hood lines, which will give the 2016 BMW 5-Series a sporty look on the roads.

Inside the gorgeous 2016 BMW 5-Series, we should find the same sporty attitude, combined with a classy and high-style design, but with a fresh breath at the same time.

The new 5-Series would implement a redesigned dashboard with the “free-standing LCD display”, with lots of functions to choose from.

Under the hood of the new 2016 BMW 5-Series, we should expect a fine selection of 2.0-liter and 3-0-liter four-cylinder inline-six engines, both gasoline as well as diesels, while the hybrid drivetrain will make its way onto the X5 eDrive Concept.
