It's likely an early testbed for what could be thinner lamps, which would also explain why the front fascia is a different color from the body. This test vehicle probably wore an updated front fascia and headlight design but had both swapped out for some public evaluation of the tech.
Ditto for the rear fascia which is also black because let's face it — the best camouflage for technology test vehicles is to simply run existing body panels. However, this tells us that updates front and rear will come to the X5 , though admittedly at this point we don't know how significant those exterior updates will be. That said, we do know some significant changes are coming for the interior. As the SUV passed the camera our spy photographer caught a glimpse of a large screen that the driver was trying to cover up.
It appears similar to the one used in the BMW iX , stretching wide and curved to focus more attention towards the driver. A similar design will see life in other BMW models so spying it here on the X5 isn't a surprise.
We presently don't have a timeframe for when the facelifted X5 will arrive. The massive grille desig In , BMW came with the third generation of its revolutionary SUV that held the crown for the sales in its segment. Considering this, it had to be one step ahead of the competition. In times when all the 4x4 vehicles were big and chassis-based, BMW took the chance when it owned the Land Rover brand and, with their know-how, the BMW engineers built an SUV with no transfer case, no low-gear The facelift mildly affected the car's front and rear fascia, with the most easily distinguishable being the restyled front bumper and front apron and restyled taillights.
The rear bumper and tailpipe surrounds were also redesigned. The new BMW X5 is equipped with adaptive brake lights, runflat safety tires and a tire defect in The German carmaker introduced the second generation of the X5 in , improving the entire vehicle from top to bottom. Apart from the height, all of the other measurements were increased. The X5 offers plentiful cargo space. With the rear seats in use, we managed to fit 11 of our carry-on suitcases behind the second row of seats.
With the rear seats folded—an operation that can be done from either the side or the rear of the SUV—we found room for 26 cases. The Mercedes GLE matched the X5's result in this test, case for case, but its rear seats aren't as easy to stow. Twin One serves as a digital gauge display—a feature that's becoming increasingly common among luxury automakers—and the other provides access to the infotainment system, which runs the latest version of BMW's iDrive software.
Users can control the system using a variety of methods, including gesture controls, which are less intuitive than just touching the screen or using the center-console-mounted rotary knob. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard. BMW offers basic driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking, but more advanced features such as a semi-autonomous driving mode are optional.
Key safety features include:. BMW matches its main rivals Mercedes-Benz and Audi with similar warranty coverage but offers three years or 36, miles worth of complimentary scheduled maintenance to sweeten the deal.
Volvo buyers also get such a benefit, while the Buick Enclave offers longer powertrain coverage. More Features and Specs.
