Rumour: 4th-Gen BMW X5 launch in mid-2019

According to a media report, BMW is planning to launch the fourth generation X5 in India around mid-2019. 

The fourth generation BMW X5 was unveiled in June 2018. It is based on BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) that also underpins the 5 Series and 7 Series sedans. It measures 4,922 mm in length, 2,004 mm in width and 1,745 mm in height. The SUV offers 650 litres of luggage space, which can be increased to 1,870 litres by folding the second row of seats.

In the international market, the new X5 comes with five powertrain options which include 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, a 4.4-litre, twin-turbo V8, 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder quad-turbo diesel and a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder petrol hybrid.

In India, the new X5 is expected to be offered with the base petrol and diesel engines. The xDrive40i variant will get a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit that puts out 335 BHP @ 5,000-6000 rpm and 500 Nm of torque @ 1,600-4,500 rpm. The xDrive30d variant will be offered with a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that produces 261 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 620 Nm @ 2,000-2,500 rpm. Both engines are likely to be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, while all-wheel drive will be offered as standard across the range.
