Unveiled at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, the updated X5 will finally be launched in tomorrow i.e. May 29. While bookings for the car has already begun, deliveries will commence from the first week of June.
Changes given to the facelifted model are minimal, but it manages to look refreshed. Despite being larger than the outgoing model, the new X5 weighs lesser, which might help the car deliver better fuel efficiency than before.

The New X5 gets new LED integrated headlamps, wide kidney grilles with chrome borders, giving its front fascia a slightly updated design. There are almost no changes at the rear and sides. Initially, the new X5 will be offered with a 3.0-litre, 258bhp diesel engine, which might later be joined by a 2.0-litre diesel engined powered variant. The version that was shown at the Delhi Auto Expo had the same 2.0-litre 218bhp diesel unit.
Coming in both the 5 and 7-seater versions, the new X5 will also get several exciting features such as 360 degree surround view parking assistant, a new four round gauges on instrument panel, road sign information, ventilation systems with black panel technology etc.
