Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 X5.
The 2022 BMW X5 pairs an automatic (S8) transmission with EPA ratings of 13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined. Owner-reported data records 57 complaints for this model year, with the power train as the top complaint area and one recall on file. Against the X5’s complaint history spanning 1999 through 2026—peaking at 333 complaints in 2008 and reaching a low of 10 in 2026—the 2022 model lands near the lower end of the range, pointing to a comparatively quiet reliability record without being the cleanest year in the dataset.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
In the federal record, the 2022 BMW X5 logged 57 complaints, 1 recall, 1 investigation and 168 TSBs. This represents a decline from the 2021 figures of 96 complaints and 12 recalls, and also from the 2020 totals of 100 complaints and 11 recalls. Compared with the following year, 2023 showed fewer complaints (29) but more recalls (4) and no investigations, indicating that 2022 sits between a higher‑problem 2020‑2021 period and a lower‑complaint 2023 year. Looking at the broader trend, complaints peaked in the mid‑2000s, fell to low levels in the 2016‑2018 window, rose again in 2019, then have been trending downward through 2022 before a slight uptick in 2024. Consequently, the 2022 model year exhibits relatively low complaint and recall activity relative to its immediate neighbors, suggesting it is a favorable choice for a used purchase.
