Protective equipment that is almost invisible.

The best of both worlds. The BMW X5 Protection VR6 combines the positive qualities of a BMW standard model with protection equipment that is barely recognisable even to the trained eye.

Armour.

In an attack involving firearms, door joints, window frames and gaps in the body are potential weak points. In the BMW X5 Protection VR6, these are reinforced with steel armour, preventing both bullets and shrapnel from penetrating the passenger cell.

Multi-layered protective glass.

Inside the BMW X5 Protection VR6, the driver and passengers are protected by tough protective glass 30 millimetres thick, which is also coated with polycarbonate for splinter protection.

Reinforced roof and floor armour.

The standard underbody splinter protection of the BMW X5 Protection VR6 offers protection against attacks with DM51 hand grenades and can be further reinforced to also withstand attack by HG85 hand grenade if desired. As well as the standard ballistic protection, stronger reinforcement for the roof is also available as further optional equipment.

Additional optional equipment if desired.

Sometimes you need more than just protection. If dignitaries are on board or the vehicle is used as a safety escort, this official function must be obvious at first glance.

Consumption and CO2 emissions.

BMW X5 Protection VR6: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in l/100 km: 13.9; CO2 emissions, combined WLTP in g/km: 307

The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

 

Performance data of petrol engines apply to vehicles using RON 98 fuel. Fuel consumption data apply to vehicles using reference fuels in accordance with EU Regulation 715/2007. Unleaded RON 91 and higher with a maximum ethanol content of 10% (E10) may also be used. BMW recommends RON 95 fuel. For high-performance automobiles, BMW recommends RON 98 fuel.

 

Official data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, power consumption and electric range was determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring procedure and corresponds to European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the applicable version. For ranges, data determined as per WLTP takes into account any optional equipment (available on the German market in this case). For vehicles that have been newly type approved since 1 January 2021, only the official data according to WLTP exists. In addition, NEDC values are deleted from the certificates of conformity as of 1 January 2023 by EC regulation 2022/195.
