What's new on the 2025 BMW X5?

Exterior

Having undergone a significant refresh in 2024, the 2025 BMW X5 carries forward its bold design with only minor refinements. The sleek front end is dominated by slimmer, more aggressive headlights and BMW's signature kidney grille, which can be specified with Illuminated Grille technology. This feature lights up when the vehicle is unlocked, giving the X5 a more premium and modern appearance. The dynamic front fascia is accentuated by sculpted surfaces and updated air intakes, contributing to the vehicle's overall aerodynamic efficiency.

The rear of the 2025 X5 also carries over the updates from last year, including the L-shaped taillights with an intricate X motif, a design cue that enhances the SUV's sophisticated appearance. Depending on the model, buyers can choose between the standard xLine trim with aluminum accents or the sportier M Sport Package, which adds gloss black elements, a unique front apron, and more aggressive styling. New wheel designs are also available, ranging from 20-inch to 22-inch options, providing further customization for buyers.

Interior

The 2025 BMW X5 continues to offer one of the most luxurious and technologically advanced interiors in its class. The BMW Curved Display takes centre stage, seamlessly integrating a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch central touchscreen. Powered by BMW Operating System 8.5, this digital interface offers intuitive touch controls, voice commands, and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The minimalist design reduces the need for physical buttons, creating a sleek and modern environment.

High-quality materials, such as standard Sensafin upholstery and optional Merino leather, ensure that the cabin feels both premium and comfortable. The dashboard is wrapped in leather-like materials, and the interior ambient lighting can be customized with 15 different colors. The Ambient Light Bar running across the dashboard further enhances the luxurious feel of the cabin, adding a crystalline effect that reflects the light in various colors depending on driving modes and settings.

For added convenience, the 2025 X5 comes standard with heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof. Optional comfort features include ventilated and massaging front seats, a premium Harman Kardon sound system, and a head-up display for easy access to important driving information.

Advanced technology remains a key focus in the 2025 BMW X5. The iDrive 8.5 system offers improved processing power and features a customizable interface that adapts to the driver's preferences. The system includes Video Augmented Reality Navigation, which overlays navigation instructions onto a live camera feed of the road ahead, making it easier to follow directions in complex traffic situations.

For driver assistance, the X5 comes equipped with the latest Highway Assistant, allowing for hands-free driving on certain highways at speeds up to 130 km/h. The Parking Assistance Professional system makes parking in tight spots easier, with a 360-degree camera and sensors that can automatically steer the vehicle into place.

Safety is also paramount in the 2025 X5, with features like Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Forward Collision Warning with automatic emergency braking included as standard. Higher trims offer additional features like Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go functionality, as well as a Traffic Jam Assistant that helps the vehicle navigate heavy traffic conditions autonomously.
