The new BMW X5 does not have a split-folding tailgate
BMW claims it was due to customer feedback
BMW says the new tailgate is wider and easier to load items into
This week, BMW revealed the fifth-generation X5. While the big headlines surrounded its five different global powertrains, the news was mostly overshadowed by something more important: the lack of a split-folding tailgate.
The split tailgate has been a staple of the X5 since its launch back in 1999. While other SUVs like the Toyota Land Cruiser axed the option years ago, the X5 remained one of the last true holdouts. Until now.
