What this rating means for the 2020 BMW X5
NHTSA published frontal crash, side crash and side pole for this vehicle but not rollover resistance. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.
Across the 9 model years we hold for the BMW X5, the figure ranges from 4-star (2019) to 5-star (2016), so the 2020 car is best read against its own model history rather than in isolation.
A star rating describes how this vehicle performed in NHTSA’s tests against other vehicles of similar mass. It is not comparable across weight classes: five stars on a small car and five on a large SUV do not describe equal crash outcomes.
About NHTSA Safety Ratings
The NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) assigns 5-star ratings from government-funded frontal, side, and rollover crash tests — not manufacturer-reported data. Ratings, crash media, and safety-technology data are sourced directly from NHTSA.
