BMW’s are undoubtedly one of the UK’s most popular car brands with a reputation for performance, luxury and quality combined with prestige and a sense of status.

Seen as premium vehicle, priced at a level that is not out of reach for the middle class (particularly because they tend to hold their resale value well), the BMW is rather iconic on British roads.

It’s not surprising then that when BMW introduced its first SUV, the X5, in 1999, it was received with open arms, offering a balance of on-road driving dynamics and off-road capability, spiced with sporty performance.

The BMW X5 is now in its fourth generation and looks to still have a long road ahead offering driving pleasure for SUV lovers.

To be as great as it is for off-roading the BMW X5 SUV needs to ride high, so depending on the model year and configuration the ground clearance of this popular vehicle is typically 214mm (8.4 inches). If you need convenience and accessibility for your X5 Pegasus 4X4 can make and fit electric powered side steps that automatically extend outward when any of the doors are opened, providing a platform to step on for easier entry or exit. When the door is closed the steps automatically retract, maintaining the vehicle’s ground clearance and sleek appearance.
