BMW India has unleashed its revamped 2025 X5, a luxury SUV that blends striking design, cutting-edge tech, and robust performance. Priced between Rs. 1 crore and Rs. 1.15 crore (ex-showroom), this beast is crafted at BMWโs Chennai facility, offering both petrol and diesel variants with mild-hybrid boosts. Hereโs a deep dive into what makes this SUV a game-changer.
Eye-Catching Exterior Upgrades
The 2025 X5 demands attention with its commanding presence. Its redesigned front fascia sports Matrix LED headlights with sleek blue accents, giving it a futuristic edge. The iconic kidney grille, now bolder, pairs with sharper side air vents for a muscular look. At the rear, the taillights carve an illuminated X pattern, adding a unique flair. Rolling on massive 21-inch alloy wheels, the X5 offers six vibrant color choices: Carbon Black, Mineral White, Brooklyn Grey, Skyscraper Grey, Tanzanite Blue, and Black Sapphire.
Plush and Tech-Loaded Interiors
Step inside, and the X5 wraps you in luxury. A massive curved glass panel dominates the dashboard, seamlessly merging a 12.3-inch digital driver display with a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Comfort is king with electrically adjustable seats, lumbar support, four-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof as standard. The M Sport Pro package elevates the vibe with glossy piano black accents and sporty M-branded seat belts. For audiophiles, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system delivers crisp, immersive audio.
Power-Packed Performance
Under the hood, the X5 xDrive40i petrol variant roars with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, pumping out 381 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque. It rockets from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.4 seconds. The xDrive30d diesel, meanwhile, churns out 286 horsepower and a hefty 650 Nm of torque, hitting 100 kmph in 6.1 seconds. Both engines get a 48V mild-hybrid system, adding 12 horsepower and 200 Nm for smoother, more efficient drives. An eight-speed Steptronic transmission ensures seamless power delivery, while BMWโs xDrive all-wheel-drive system keeps grip locked in.
Ready for Any Terrain
The 2025 X5 is built to conquer more than just highways. Its standard xOffroad package offers four modesโsand, gravel, rocks, and snowโtweaking suspension height, throttle response, and traction for optimal control. Reinforced underbody protection adds durability for rugged adventures, and adaptive two-axle air suspension ensures a smooth ride, whether on city streets or rocky trails.
Sporty M Sport Pro Trim
For those craving extra flair, the M Sport Pro variant dials up the aggression. Gloss black kidney grille, tailpipes, and air vents pair with bold red brake calipers and an M-tuned exhaust system for a sporty growl. Inside, the cabin gets dynamic detailing, making every drive feel like a performance.
