BMW X5 Facelift: Exterior and Interior Changes
On the exterior, the 2023 BMW X5 Facelift will feature mild changes that seem to be inspired from its elder sibling the BMW X7. Key design upgrades include a reprofiled front bumper, LED headlights that are thinner and look sleek, and an optional illuminated front grille. The SUV also gets the xLine package design elements as standard fitment with the facelift. The rest of the X5’s exterior remains the same as the outgoing model.
Inside, changes are more noticeable. The interior of the facelifted BMW X5 features a refreshed dashboard design with touch controls for climate control. There is a new curved digital panel that houses a 14.9-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The touchscreen is now running on BMW’s latest iDrive 8.0 software while Live Cockpit Plus makes its debut, providing cloud-based map navigation. The automaker is expected to offer a number of optional equipment on the New X5 including a panoramic sunroof with LED illumination, AR (Augmented Reality) support, and a Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
