Product Description

The Sunseeker Elite X5 Gen 2 is built for larger, more demanding gardens, offering reliable, intelligent mowing for lawns up to 2,000 m². Combining Vision AI 2.0, AONavi™ 2.0 navigation and all-wheel drive, it handles everything from wide open lawns to slopes and uneven ground. With no boundary wires or RTK antenna to install, keeping your lawn looking its best has never been easier.

Designed for Larger Garden Spaces

The Sunseeker X5 Gen 2 combines precision with power — ideal for homeowners who want their lawn looking great without spending hours maintaining it. With upgraded navigation, day and night obstacle detection and closer edge cutting, it’s a capable mower that gets on with the job.

Where the Sunseeker X5 Gen 2 Excels

Whether you’ve got a large family garden, several lawn areas or tricky slopes to manage, the X5 Gen 2 is designed to make mowing simpler. Its intelligent route planning, all-wheel drive and easy app controls mean less time pushing a mower and more time enjoying your garden.

Smart Navigation, No Wires or Antenna

Forget tangled cables and complicated installations. The X5 Gen 2 uses AONavi™ 2.0 with network RTK (nRTK) and VSLAM 2.0 to navigate your garden accurately, without buried boundary wires or a separate RTK base station.

The upgraded navigation system combines satellite positioning with visual mapping, helping the mower maintain its route around trees, buildings and areas where satellite reception can be more difficult.

Create virtual boundaries, set no-go zones and manage unlimited mowing zones through the Sunseeker app. You can customise schedules for different lawn areas, adjust your settings and update your garden map whenever you need to.

Smarter Obstacle Avoidance, Day and Night

The X5 Gen 2 takes obstacle detection a step further with Vision AI 2.0. Combining a binocular camera with upgraded iToF sensing, it can recognise obstacles during the day and detect objects in low-light conditions.

Whether it’s garden furniture, flowerpots or other everyday obstacles, the mower can adjust its route rather than simply bumping into them and reversing.

There’s also an upgraded 10 TOPS AI processor, delivering twice the processing capability of the previous generation. This helps the X5 respond more quickly to its surroundings, improving navigation and reducing unnecessary interruptions.

With night vision and an integrated LED headlight, the X5 Gen 2 has the technology for both daytime and night-time operation. Always check the lawn for pets, wildlife and obstacles before mowing, particularly after dark.

All-Wheel Drive for Slopes and Uneven Ground

Not every garden is perfectly flat. The X5 Gen 2 uses a three-wheel all-wheel drive system to tackle slopes up to 60% (30°), giving it the grip needed for steeper lawns and uneven terrain.

Each wheel is independently driven, while the active rear steering wheel helps the mower turn smoothly without unnecessarily disturbing the grass.

Front-wheel suspension and large all-terrain wheels help it cope with bumps, roots and changes in ground level. Combined with its floating cutting disc, the X5 Gen 2 is well equipped for gardens that need more than a basic robotic mower.

Closer Edge Cutting, Less Tidying Up

One of the biggest improvements on the X5 Gen 2 is its Precise Edge cutting system, designed to trim as close as 3 cm from suitable lawn boundaries. That means less uncut grass left beside paths, patios and garden edges — and less work with the strimmer afterwards.

The upgraded 22 cm cutting disc now features six blades, compared with three on the original X5. Working at 2,300 RPM, the blades provide regular, consistent cutting across your lawn.

You can manually adjust the cutting height between 20 and 60 mm, while the floating cutting disc helps follow the contours of uneven ground for a neater finish.

Smart Mowing That Fits Your Garden

The X5 Gen 2 doesn’t just find its way around your garden — it also plans how to mow it efficiently. Intelligent route planning helps reduce repeated passes and unnecessary movement, while several cutting modes give you more control over the finished result.

  • Multi-Angle Cutting: Choose different mowing directions to improve coverage and create a more consistent lawn finish.
  • Spot Mowing: Target smaller areas that need extra attention without mowing the entire lawn again.
  • Efficiency Mode: Divides mowing areas into smart zones and plans efficient routes to reduce unnecessary cutting time.
  • Edge Following: Follow established lawn boundaries for a neater finish around the edges.
  • Ride-On Boundary Cutting: Cut closer along suitable lawn edges where the mower can safely travel over the boundary.

With unlimited mowing zones and custom schedules, the X5 Gen 2 is particularly useful for gardens with several connected lawn areas or more complicated layouts.

Built-In 4G and Anti-Theft Protection

Unlike the original X5, which required an optional 4G upgrade, the X5 Gen 2 includes the S Connect Module as standard.

This gives you built-in GPS tracking, adjustable geofencing and alerts if the mower moves outside its designated area. Whether you’re at work, on holiday or simply away from home, you can keep an eye on your mower through the app.

Two years of nRTK and 4G service are included with the X5 Gen 2. After this period, an annual paid subscription is required to continue using the network services.

Quiet Operation and Everyday Convenience

Despite its all-wheel drive system, the X5 Gen 2 operates at just 60 dB(A), making it suitable for regular mowing without the noise of a conventional petrol mower.

Automatic rain detection helps it respond to changing weather, while its IPX5 water-resistant design provides protection against everyday outdoor conditions.

When the battery runs low, the mower returns automatically to its charging station. You can also manage mowing schedules through the app, use Alexa or Google Assistant for supported voice commands and receive over-the-air software updates.

A built-in LCD screen provides convenient access to mower information and settings.

Ideal Use Cases:

  • Detached Homes with Wide Lawns: Handles larger gardens up to 2,000 m² with intelligent route planning and a consistent cutting pattern.
  • Gardens with Multiple Sections: Manage unlimited mowing zones, set virtual boundaries and create schedules for different lawn areas.
  • Sloped or Uneven Gardens: All-wheel drive, front suspension and 60% slope capability help the X5 manage more demanding terrain.
  • Busy Households: Automatic mowing, charging and rain detection take much of the routine work out of lawn care.
  • Tech-Friendly Homes: Built-in 4G, smart app control, Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, and automatic software updates.

What’s Upgraded from the Original X5?

The original Sunseeker X5 was already a powerful mower, with all-wheel drive and the ability to handle slopes up to 60%. The Gen 2 keeps those strengths while introducing some worthwhile improvements to navigation, obstacle detection, cutting and security.

  • No Separate RTK Antenna: AONavi™ 2.0 now uses network RTK and VSLAM 2.0, removing the need to install and position an external RTK base station.
  • Day and Night Vision AI: The upgraded Vision AI 2.0 system adds iToF sensing alongside the binocular camera, allowing obstacle detection in low-light conditions.
  • Faster AI Processing: A new 10 TOPS processor delivers twice the processing capability of the previous generation for more responsive navigation and obstacle avoidance.
  • Six Cutting Blades: The 22 cm cutting disc now features six blades instead of three, improving the cutting system while retaining the same cutting width.
  • Closer Edge Cutting: The Precise Edge system can trim as close as 3 cm to suitable lawn boundaries, reducing the amount of manual edge trimming needed.
  • Built-In 4G: GPS tracking and anti-theft protection are now standard, with two years of nRTK and 4G service included.

The X5 Gen 2 isn’t about changing everything that worked on the original. It’s about making installation simpler, improving how the mower sees its surroundings and giving you a cleaner finish with less effort.

Value for Money

The Sunseeker X5 Gen 2 packs serious mowing capability into an easy-to-manage machine. With all-wheel drive, intelligent obstacle detection, closer edge cutting and built-in anti-theft protection, it’s a strong choice for homeowners with larger gardens who want reliable results without the weekly mowing routine.

No boundary wires, no separate RTK antenna and no petrol to worry about. Set your schedule, choose your cutting height and let the X5 Gen 2 handle the mowing.

Installation and Accessories

Getting started with the X5 Gen 2 is simpler than with the original model. There’s no separate RTK antenna or perimeter wire to install, and the S Connect Module comes fitted as standard.

For additional weather protection, the compatible Sunseeker Elite X5 garage provides shelter from rain, sunlight and debris while your mower is parked or charging.

You can also explore our Sunseeker Elite range for accessories and maintenance equipment.

Looking for Something Smaller or Bigger?

If the X5 Gen 2 feels like too much for your space, the compact Sunseeker X3 Gen 2 is ideal for smaller lawns up to 800 m². It offers the same antenna-free approach in a lighter-duty mower designed for everyday home gardens.

For larger properties, the Sunseeker X7 and X7 Plus Gen 2 offer greater coverage, wider cutting systems and increased slope capability. The X7 handles lawns up to 3,000 m², while the X7 Plus is designed for areas up to 6,000 m².
