BMW X5 to Launch in India Tomorrow; Here's Everything You Need to Know

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.
