BMW has started testing with a packed X5 and that can only mean one thing. BMW’s competitor to cars such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE is preparing for a so-called Life Cycle Impulse. A facelift!
In 1999, the X5 was the first SUV that BMW added to its line-up, a car with which the brand wanted to sink its teeth into cars like the Mercedes-Benz M-Class that had been on the market for more than a year. The X5 has now been in its fourth generation for about two years. The previous X5 had a career of just under five years and the fact that the current X5 is already preparing for a Life Cycle Impulse (LCI), BMW’s name for a facelift, indicates that the fourth X5 will not last very long either. to exist.
BMW X5 (2018-2021)
Anyone who is not so fond of the large kidney grille that BMW has recently put on cars such as the 4-series, M3, 7-series and X7, can still take a breath. The X5 seems to limit itself to the bumper work in the upcoming facelift. The bumpers of the various X5 versions are renewed at the front and rear. In addition, BMW seems to adjust the layout of the headlight units. Count on the arrival of updated infotainment inside. At the time of writing, it is not yet clear what will change in the motor field.
