Компания BMW представила недавно обновленный X5 G05 LCI, который станет серьезным конкурентом Mercedes-Benz GLE. Авто следует по стопам последней 3-й серии, получив более изысканный дизайн и несколько технических обновлений, что крайне важно для внедорожника среднего размера, пытающегося конкурировать с другими машинами в своей нише.
В данной статье мы коснемся внешнего вида новичка. Изменения стиля, которые сразу заметны, включают перепрофилированные фары, которые, по словам представителя BMW, стали на 35 мм уже, чем раньше. Сигнатура светодиодных дневных ходовых огней также является новой: вместо полушестиугольника используются стрелки, направленные наружу.
Между тем, решетка радиатора не стала больше, но получила каскадное освещение. Она также дополнена окантовкой и переработанными ламелями из хрома с эффектом жемчуга, а воздушные завесы в нижнем фартуке теперь расположены самостоятельно и выровнены вертикально по отношению к бамперу.
Упомянутый бампер также претерпел некоторые изменения, в первую очередь это прямоугольный нижний воздухозаборник, выделенный черной и хромированной отделкой. Воздухозаборники на передних крыльях теперь имеют новый дизайн с тремя горизонтальными лопастями на задней кромке.
X5 также можно заказать с пакетом M Sport с более агрессивными бамперами, а в дополнительной версии Pro добавлено множество черных акцентов для более «устрашающего» вида (пугать конкурентов, разумеется). Последний вариант также добавляет тормозную систему с красными суппортами, выхлопную систему и ремни безопасности M Sport.
В связи с этим в салоне нового X5 используется изогнутый дисплей BMW (включает 12,3-дюймовую цифровую приборную панель) с iDrive 8, который работает на базе операционной системы BMW 8. Как и в 3-й серии LCI, большинство элементов управления автомобилем интегрированы в 14,9-дюймовый сенсорный экран, поэтому от физического климат-контроля и программируемого ряда избранного было решено отказаться.
BMW также стремится выделить свою кожаную приборную панель Sensafin и обивку сидений, которые теперь являются стандартными для X5, а также полосу окружающего света с кристаллической структурой поверхности и светодиодной подсветкой.
Была пересмотрена и структура отделки салона: xLine теперь входит в стандартную комплектацию с электрической регулировкой рулевого управления, 2,5-зонной системой климат-контроля, электрически складывающимися боковыми зеркалами, акустической системой Hi-Fi и цифровым радиотюнером DAB.
Также нет недостатка в опциях, включая пакет Comfort (функции обогрева), панорамный стеклянный люк или систему Sky Lounge, объемное звучание Harman Kardon (16 динамиков, усиление 415 Вт) или система объемного звучания Bowers & Wilkins Diamond. (20 динамиков, усиление 1500 Вт) на выбор.
В следующий раз мы подробно коснемся технических характеристик данного автомобиля.
SPIED: BMW X5 M LCI Facelift Seen with New Tech
This new BMW X5 M is already a great looking car. Personally, I have some issues with the way it drives; I find it too soft, too big, and not different enough from he X5 M50i. However, there’s no denying its looks. As far as performance SUVs go, the X5 M is a great looking machine and features a fabulous interior. That hasn’t stopped BMW from facelifting the car, though, and the upcoming X5 M LCI was just recently spotted doing some testing. (We don’t own the spy photos but they can be seen here)
On the outside, this fantastically green test mule doesn’t really look any different from the old car. Don’t fix what ain’t broke, right? However, BMW did make some changes to the cabin and they’re likely going to be for the better.
For starters, the BMW X5 M now gets two large screens; one for the driver’s instrument panel and the other for iDrive; that are actually joined at the middle. It’s a setup very similar to the new BMW iX, so we can likely expect the same new iDrive system and digital gauges. Hopefully they’re better looking digital gauges than the current ones, which have grown stale surprisingly quickly. It’s also interesting to see a non-electric BMW with a digital gauge screen not housed in the dashboard binnacle. It looks a bit odd but, so long as the gauges look good, it likely won’t matter.
BMW also seems to have ditched the new M-style shift lever and replaced it with the same little toggle switch as the iX. While the toggle looks fine, it’s not as cool as the BMW M shift lever, which features real metal and leather.
It’s very clear that the BMW iX is going to influence all BMW X5s, and potentially all BMWs, in the upcoming years, for better or worse. So let’s hope the BMW iX turns out to be awesome.
2024 BMW X5 Facelift: Redesigned Luxury SUV with Upgraded Features

Home » 2024 BMW X5 Facelift: Redesigned Luxury SUV with Upgraded Features
The previous-generation X5 skipped the Life Cycle Impulse but BMW is now returning to its modus operandi by applying a facelift to its luxury SUV. The model codenamed G05, and sold as a 2024 BMW X5 variant, is getting a nip and tuck after about four years on the market, with changes inside and out as well as underneath the hood. Unlike the three-row X7 with its drastic mid-cycle styling revision bringing split headlights, the 2024 BMW X5 Facelift plays its safe. Many would argue that’s for the better.
Changes begin at the front where the redesigned headlights are now 35 millimeters (1.4 inches) narrower than before and feature arrow-shaped daytime running lights. The DRLs point outwards and double as the turn signals. These new headlights lend the front fascia a sleeker appearance and flank gently updated kidneys, now offering illumination for the first time. Available as an option on the sDrive40i, xDrive40i, and xDrive50e, the grille automatically lights up when one of the doors is opened and can be manually turned off from the iDrive.
BMW’s designers also worked on the front bumper’s air curtains and depending on the version, the curved element can be had in black or chrome. Moving at the back, the 2024 BMW X5 LCI boasts updated taillights with fiber-optic light elements and a fresh take on the “L” theme by having a horizontal layout to form an “X” motif.

As usual, the SUV’s appearance depends on whether it has the M Sport Package or not. If installed, the X5 comes with M-specific design upgrades, glossy black roof rails, and a Shadowline trim. The back of the vehicle hosts a trapezoidal exhaust finisher and a dark apron inlay. Go for the optional M Sport Professional package and BMW will give the grille surround a matte black look while the exhaust tailpipe trim receives a black chrome finish. In addition, the headlights are darkened and the M Sport brakes come with either blue or red calipers. The optional pack also encompasses an M Sport exhaust, which comes standard on the M Performance version and is not available on the plug-in hybrid.
Rounding off the changes on the outside are new metallic paint jobs, such as Marina Bay Blue metallic (M60i exclusive) as well as Blue Ridge Mountain, Brooklyn Grey, Skyscraper Grey, and Frozen Pure Grey. If none of them tickle your fancy, BMW will offer no fewer than 40 Individual colors from launch.
2024 BMW X5 Gets The Eighth-Generation iDrive
Moving inside the cabin, the 2024 BMW X5 transitions to the Operating System 8 with a 12.3-inch driver’s display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen located behind a single curved glass panel. Other important changes include a simplified center console with most of the controls now integrated into the big display. Slimmer central air vents were necessary to make room for the enlarged screen, and you’ll also notice a small gear selector replacing the old bulky lever. The 2024 X5 M60i also gets ventilated multi-contour seats, M Sport goodies like Integral Active Steering, and Harman Kardon sound standard. Heated seats are standard across the model lineup.
2024 BMW X5 Facelift Leaked on Online Configurator
UPDATE: Here is the new BMW X5 Facelift. The 2024 BMW X5 Facelift reveal is less than a week away but if you want to see it early, you can check out this leaked photo from a French-speaking BMW online configurator. In the photo, you can see the ad from an official BMW site but it doesn’t say which one. However, all of the wording is in French, so it’s likely either BMW France or Belgium that accidentally posted the X5 Facelift early. In the photos, you can clearly see the front end of the BMW X5 and, while it’s a touch blurry, you can see every new detail. It gets entirely new headlights, which are far slimmer and sleeker than before. It also gets BMW’s new angular light elements inside the headlight housings. They look much more like those seen on the BMW M4, rather than the chunkier ones on the pre-LCI X5.
While the kidney grilles are mostly the same as before, the new 2024 X5 Facelift gets illuminated grilles, which are becoming more and more common on modern Bimmers. It’s an option many customers see to like, so it’s no surprise that BMW is expanding its applications. The front air intakes are different, too. They’re simpler and more rectangular, with both horizontal and vertical intake vents, at the bottom and below the headlights, respectively. If my eyes aren’t tricking me, it also seems that the X5 LCI has a slightly updated Air Breather vent on the front fender.
