As for the regular X5, it will come with a choice of four engines. The SUV will come as xDrive50i, xDrive35i, xDrive40d and xDrive30d, all featuring EfficientDynamics and eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.

On the inside, the new X5 adds optional leather trim Nevada in Cinnamon Brown and Oyster, as well as a matt Satin Silver trim strip. The new BMW X5 is equipped as standard with iDrive control system with 6.5-inch control display (or 8.8-inch display when ordered in conjunction with the navigation system Professional). M Package tweaks are to be expected.

According to BMWblog, the new X5 will be priced in the US in between $46,675 for the X5 xDrive35i and $59,275 for the X5 xDrive50i.
