OFFICIAL: Pricing For The ALL-NEW, 2019 BMW X5 Is Released — Too High? Just Right? NO Way?

Just last month BMW revealed the all-new, 2019 X5. Considering how many units the blue and white moves, it is a big deal for the automaker.

Simply put, the X5 is a volume seller and one of the marque's most important products at this point in time. It will be interesting to see how the latest generation product fairs out in a hyper competitive market given how it is yet another evolution on an already super evolved product.

Now the rubber meets the road. That's because official pricing has been announced. For a six-cylinder with rear-wheel drive, you're talking about a starting price of $60,700*. If you want to step up to the V8 with all-wheel drive included, you're going to be starting at $75,750*.

*These prices do NOT include title, taxes and fees.

For those of you keeping track, that's a $3,500 increase for the six-cylinder model and a $1,700 increase for the V8 variant. Given that color, what say YOU, Spies? Is the 2019 BMW X5's pricing too high, just right or NO way?

This new X5 will do well.

The X7 will do even better - I went to a launch event for the RR Cullinan this weeek in NYC and (though the Cullinan is a niche vehicle) it will be the same size as the X7. The X7 will be sized just right for the segment.

Front is OK, but the tail lights is way too generic.

I like it overall but the lights in back bother me as well....They are a little off

Price does not matter, those with a need to be seen with whatever designer badge on their possessions will flock to the latest from GMW. (That was not a typo-like GM, Bayerische has too many platforms-too many models)

The 6 cylinder is $10K too high, which make the V8 more like $15K too high. With BMW sputtering in the sales department and with with the new X5 looking like it's a 10-year-old, used X5, sky high pricing isn't wise.

I am not sure if it's $10k too high but the $3,700 increase for a RWD SUV is quite aggressive.

Given that "...BMW sputtering in the sales department and with with the new X5 looking like it's a 10-year-old, used X5..." it's $10K too high. The point being that it looks like a BMW with several years of depreciation. Audi is no doubt laughing itself silly. Mercedes is still the better choice for the money.

Since SUVs are high-profit items, the price of any of them is too high.

Agreed, except for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Maserati Levante, both of which can be had with "value-oriented" discounts.

Sounds like the hike in prices are for "lease oriented" folks. It doesn't matter when the residual has been deemed pretty high for BMW's and a lot of their clients lease their vehicles anyways.

The new X5 looks porky and soft. The rear is especially weak looking.

IKR - I think the 2nd Gen X5 was it's peak as far as styling goes. It has been on a downward slide since then... and apparently eating a lot while on that slide.

SUVs look like big station wagons nowadays...
