Meanwhile, BMW's typical kidney grip gets light of a cascade if customers buy an Iconic Glow package. Then, other changes include the front fender air channel with three horizontally on the back.

Another notable thing is that the back light forms a 'X' motive that is good at the light in the form of a separate 'L'. As before, the new X5 will come as a standard with an M Sport package that adds a more sporty front and back bumper.

Then the inside has a BMW Curved Display' screen like other BMW models on the dashboard with the presence of a luxurious Provisional Live Cockpit Professional package consisting of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touch screen with an 8.5 operating system as a vehicle infotainment system.

Moving to the kitchen runway, this car carries a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system with a 3.0 liter turbocharged 6-cylinder freshly combined with a single electric motor, resulting in a total power of 483 dk and 700 Nm torque.

Accompanying an electric motor, this car has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 25.7 kWh which can make X5 run 110 km with pure electric power.
