The entry level X5 xDrive30d has been upgraded to provide a sub 200g/km CO2 output, with emissions at 195g/km. This car reaches 0-62mph in just 7.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 130mph where permitted. Combined mpg is 38.2 and the vehicle is available in either SE or M Sport versions.

The xDrive40d reaches 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds, has a top speed of 147mph, CO2 emissions of 198g/km and a combined mpg of 37.7.

The exterior of the new model gets revised bumpers with enlarged vents, matt aluminium scuff plates and vent fins, new Xenon headlights (with white LED corona rings) plus more centralised fog lights completing the front end changes.
