BMW Kazakhstan, part of Astana Motors, is opening pre-orders for two of the brand’s key new models. From 14 November, the new BMW X5 and flagship BMW 7 Series sedan will be available at official dealerships in Almaty and Astana; in December, they will arrive at all official BMW dealerships across Kazakhstan. Prices start at KZT 63,637,511 for the BMW X5 and KZT 81,711,570 for the BMW 7 Series.

“These models represent different facets of modern BMW luxury. The X5 combines the space of a full-size Sports Activity Vehicle with the brand’s signature handling. The flagship 7 Series sedan expresses the marque’s executive character and sets a high standard for luxury on the road. Both models feature next-generation digital technology, extensive personalisation options and a focus on comfort for drivers and passengers,” said Bauyrzhan Abenov, Director of BMW Distribution in Kazakhstan.

BMW X5: a new benchmark for an established icon

In 1999, BMW created the Sports Activity Vehicle segment, introducing customers to a new kind of premium vehicle: the X5. The model’s fifth generation, bearing the factory designation G65, carries this legacy forward with completely redesigned styling, an updated interior and new technologies.

The new X5 retains the model’s distinctive proportions while developing them in the style of Neue Klasse. The illuminated BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille, double-X light signature and recessed BMW Winglets door handles give the vehicle a modern, poised appearance.

In Kazakhstan, the BMW X5 xDrive40i is available with an inline six-cylinder engine and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, producing 400 hp. BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and near 50:50 weight distribution preserve the X5’s familiar balance of comfort, stability and precise handling.

The spacious cabin is designed for family trips and long-distance journeys, while 226 mm of ground clearance extends the vehicle’s capabilities beyond the city.

At the centre of the interior is BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X. The system combines BMW Panoramic Vision, which spans the lower edge of the windscreen, a 17.9-inch central display and BMW 3D Head-Up Display. For the first time, the X5 also offers an optional screen for the front passenger.

The new-generation X5 is the first BMW model designed from the outset to accommodate five types of powertrain. The global line-up will include petrol and diesel versions, plug-in hybrids, the fully electric BMW iX5 and, at a later stage, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen. The electric iX5 will feature an 800-volt architecture and sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology.

BMW 7 Series: Neue Klasse technology in the luxury saloon segment

The new BMW 7 Series opens the next chapter in the story of the flagship saloon, where luxury is expressed through space, the quality of materials and attention to detail. Its clean design is complemented by the striking BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille and optional BMW Individual Iconic Glow crystal headlights. BMW Individual two-tone paint options emphasise the car’s proportions and allow customers to create a distinctive specification.

In Kazakhstan, the new saloon is available to order as the BMW 740 xDrive. Its powertrain pairs a 3.0-litre BMW TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder petrol engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Combined output is 294 kW (400 hp), and maximum torque is 580 Nm. With an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h.

Particular attention has been paid to passenger comfort. The spacious second row provides a private setting for relaxation or work. Adaptive air suspension on both axles delivers an exceptionally smooth ride, absorbing road imperfections and maintaining a high level of comfort even on longer journeys.

The centrepiece of the second-row experience is the optional 31.3-inch BMW Theatre Screen, which automatically unfolds from the ceiling. Dolby Atmos creates immersive sound, while video streaming, gaming and video conferencing let passengers make the most of their time on the road. The cabin becomes a private space where they can focus on work or relax.

Premium BMW Individual materials, including Alcantara upholstery, BMW Individual CraftedClarity crystal controls and customisable ambient lighting, complete the atmosphere. The panoramic glass roof enhances the sense of space, while the carefully considered interior architecture creates a calm, harmonious environment.
