The new X5’s dashboard is a complete departure from the old model’s layout.

The massive central display screen is shaped like a parallelogram, and there’s a passenger screen available as well.

The wide screen stretching across the top of the dashboard is called Panoramic Vision, and it’s almost like a head-up display.

The passenger screen is a $1600 option.

We’d probably skip this option, unless you often have someone riding in the passenger’s seat who needs to be distracted.

BMW offers a wide variety of upholstery options for the X5, with some costing extra.

The rear seat is comfortable for adults and features more legroom than the old model.

The rear seats fold 40/20/40 for more cargo versatility.

Here’s what it looks like with the rear seats folded.
