Fortunately, this new SUV offers both rear-wheel drive and innovative all-wheel drive options for you to explore at BMW of Wesley Chapel. Here’s a breakdown of each option.

Rear-Wheel Drive

For a rugged, high-performance drive and tactile handling, the BMW X5 sDrive40i comes with a standard rear-wheel drive configuration. To deliver a truly responsive ride, the base trim level also features an eight-speed Sport Automatic transmission with Sport and Manual Shift modes, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and launch control.
