In February 2023, BMW revealed the updated X5 and X6 for the global market. Now, the carmaker is readying to launch the X5 in India. In a recent development, it teased the SUV before its launch on July 14 and provided a sneak peek into the revised model's features. According to the fresh teaser, the SUV has a revamped front profile. Due to the integration of arrow-shaped inverted DRLS into the headlamps, the SUV now gets a more aggressive appearance. There are also renewed taillights, a new bumper with modified kidney grilles, a revised bumper with updated vents, and a fresh set of alloy wheels.
Inside, the redesigned X5 features a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which employs BMW's most recent iDrive 8.0 software, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. An augmented reality heads-up display, and a panoramic sunroof, are some other notable features of the SUV. As the luxury SUV is all set to enter India tomorrow, let's quickly run through its features and other specifications.
