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.

There is a new curved digital panel that houses a 14.9-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

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.
