The BMW X5 is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs in the luxury segment. Its facelifted avatar that debuted near the start of 2023 has now made its way to our shores. The X5 facelift is being offered in just two variants with choice of both petrol and diesel engines which are priced as follows:

BMW X5 Variants	Petrol (xDrive40i)	Diesel (xDrive30d)
xLine	Rs 93.90 lakh	Rs 95.90 lakh
M Sport	Rs 1.04 crore	Rs 1.06 crore

The facelift has attracted a premium of around Rs 6 lakh over the previous iteration for the top-spec M Sport variants.

What’s new with the facelifted X5?

The 2023 X5 will be recognised by the revised front fascia that now features vertically-oriented air intakes on the new front bumper. The main grille gets bigger and now gets the illuminating glow, while the LED headlamps flaking it are now sleeker with a new light signature. Around the back, the only notable design change is the redesigned layout for the LED taillamps. The luxury SUV still gets cladding along the bottom edge with prominent rear skid plates for a somewhat rugged appeal.

The M Sport variant gets blacked out elements around the exterior instead of silver details for a sportier look.

For the buyers, the biggest change will be inside the cabin. The facelifted X5 will get the current BMW dashboard with the curved integrated dual displays - 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. It now also comes with an ambient lighting bar around the dashboard for the front passenger area.

New X5 Powertrains

The BMW X5 still comes with 3-litre turbo-petrol and diesel engines, but they’ve been updated with 48V mild-hybrid tech and increased performance. Their details are specified below:

Variant	xDrive40i	xDrive30d
Engine	3-litre, six-cylinder	3-litre, six-cylinder
Power	381PS	285PS
Torque	520Nm	650Nm
Transmission	8-speed AT	8-speed AT

It continues to offer all-wheel-drive as standard.

Still Feature-rich

The BMW X5 is fairly well-equipped with features like a panoramic glass roof, active seat ventilation, electrically adjustable front seats, and a powered split-tailgate in the top variant. The xLine trim gets Sensafin upholstery while the M Sport gets a choice of brown or white leather upholstery. As standard, the new X5 rides on 21-inch alloys with different designs depening on the variant.

It comes with adaptive suspension as standard but only the M Sport gets air suspension for a plush ride quality. In terms of safety, the BMW X5 comes with six airbags, dynamic stability control, hill descent control, tyre pressure monitor, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and Active Park assist.
