For the first time we get a good impression from the facelifted BMW X5. This light update – basically and nip tuck here and there – will include new front and rear bumpers, and – for the first time - rumors from inside hint to a new one-piece hatch.
BMW tends to introduce a new engine with each new model or facelift. For the X5 all the possible choices form a very short list. One of these possibilities is a hybrid powertrain since BMW has been exhibiting concept ActiveHybrids. An X6 hybrid has even been spied doing tests. It could also just be the 4.4-litre twinturbo V8 in the upcoming X5 M but M cars are treated as separate models in Munich. The new X5 is expected to make an official entrance before the end of the year.
