Where is the 2020 BMW X5 made?

The 2020 BMW X5 is primarily built in two locations: the Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, USA, and the BMW assembly facility in Rayong, Thailand. Where a specific vehicle is made depends on its target market and trim level. Most of the X5s you'll see locally tend to come from the Thai plant, since that's where Southeast Asian market X5s are usually supplied from to keep import costs down. The Spartanburg plant is BMW's largest global production hub, mainly feeding North America and other regions, while the Thai factory focuses more on meeting Asian market demands, including right-hand drive models. Underpinning the 2020 X5 is BMW's CLAR modular platform, which strikes a balance between lightweight construction and high rigidity. Power options are varied too, ranging from efficient inline-six engines to punchy V8s, with some versions getting the xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system to handle different road conditions. On the tech front, the 2020 X5 also got some notable upgrades, like the latest iDrive 7.0 system, laser headlights, and more advanced driver assistance features, all working together to make the drive both comfortable and safe.
