BMW has now officially unveiled the latest 2014 X5 model.
The model which is instantly recognizable, the redesigned crossover comes with evolutionary styling and it closely mimics the outgoing model. The model comes with features such as a more prominent grille, an aerodynamic front bumper, optional LED adaptive headlights, rear “Aero Blades” and new “Air Curtains” that promise to reduce drag by routing air around the wheel arches.
The interior is pretty familiar but comes fitted with higher quality materials and an improved design. Key features inside include LED ambient lighting, a freestanding iDrive display, gloss black accents and Oxide Silver, Aluminum Hexagon or Poplar Grain wood trim.
The model will be offered with three engine options.
