BMW has launched the 2019 BMW X5 in India that has been awaited for the last couple of months. The new BMW X5 is larger and loaded with new technologies. Available at a starting price of Rs 72.9 lakh (ex-showroom), the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 rivalling BMW X5 comes in three different trim options.
The trim options available for the BMW X5 include the xDrive 30d Sport, xDrive30d xLine and xDrive40i M Sport. The last two trims come priced at Rs 82.40 lakh (ex-showroom). Speaking about the appearance of the new BMW X5, it comes larger in dimension compared to the outgoing model. It is longer, wider, taller and has bigger wheelbase as well. This means the new BMW X5 offers more space and comfort besides having a stronger road presence.
The 2019 BMW X5 follows the same design theme as the contemporary models from the Bavarian auto giant. A larger kidney grille, new full-LED headlamps with angular appearance add zing to the car. The optional laser lighting system is available in this car. The luxury SUV blends subtle curves and straight lines perfectly, resulting in a squared-off styling. Rectangular LED taillights and powered split tailgate are the design elements visible at the back.
