The 2019 BMW X5 has
been launched in India in a price range of INR 72.99-82.40 lakh (ex-showroom,
pan-India). The fourth generation of the company's renowned SAV is based on the
CLAR platform and is substantially bigger than its predecessors.
The 2019 BMW X5
features a completely updated and more modern skin, while its interior has been
kitted out with several additional features. The highlight of the aesthetics
department is the latest iteration of the company's signature kidney grille,
which now looks more imposing owing to its larger size.
The LED headlights now
get new adaptive LED DRLs, and the front-end even carries a bolder bumper with
larger air-vents and new LED fog lamps. While the side profile features a
silhouette that will be quick to remind you of the previous generation model,
the tauter surfaces and the increased footprint help the new model look bolder
than the earlier version. The highlights of the rear include stylish
wrap-around LED tail-lights and a bolder bumper.
The 2019 BMW X5 is
substantially larger than the previous model in all dimensional aspects, which
directly leads to a more spacious cabin. It features 40:20:40 split-folding
rear seats that help to extend its boot space from 650 litres to 1,870 litres.
The dashboard features two 12.3-inch digital screens, while the analogue
instrumentation of the previous version has made way for an all-digital panel.
Even the infotainment unit has been updated, while the latest X5 even benefits
from the company's Parking Assistant Plus function.
The new Audi
Q7-rival is available with two engine options. The xDrive 40i variant is
propelled by a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turb0-petrol engine that outputs 340 hp and 450 Nm torque. On the other hand, the xDrive30d version gets its
juice from a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that churns out 265 hp and 620 Nm. Both the variants come with 8-speed Steptronic
transmission and all-wheel-drive as standard. Also, the engines are BS-VI
compliant.
