The user has posted images of what appears to be the new BMW X5 spycars on Instagram ahead of an anticipated debut this year. Currently in its fourth generation, the G05 X5 first made its debut in June 2018 and is currently available in Malaysia as plug-in hybrid.
In terms of styling changes, the new X5 sports reshaped headlamps that look slimmer than before. These flank a kidney-shaped grill that appears to retain the same shape and size, but is now illuminated, just as it can be on the latest G06 X6 with the iconic gloss option.
The vehicle shown does not have the M Sport package, so you miss out on the more aggressive bumpers. Compared to the outgoing X5 in base specifications, the front apron has been fixed to feature vertical air curtain elements, while the lower intake is slightly more pronounced and has a more angular inset.
Moving to the rear, the bumper doesn’t see any significant changes aside from the reshaped exhaust finishers. What has been revised are the taillights that have a new light signature with elements similar to hockey sticks.
There are no interior shots, but we should expect BMW’s curved screen to be part of the facelift with the latest version of the BMW 8 OS. Similarly, the X5 should come with a range of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engines. .
