BMW India has elevated their game today by launching the BMW X5 M Sport Pro, a model that elevates luxury and performance in the mid-size SUV category.
Sleek Styling Meets Sporty Refinement
The two petrol (xDrive 40i M Sport Pro) and diesel (xDrive 30d M Sport Pro) versions come to market under a new badge, priced at ₹1.13 crore and ₹1.15 crore (ex-showroom) respectively.
Benefiting from increased standard specification content, the most notable visual updates are the following:
- It has high-gloss black finish on the kidney grille, front air dam and exhaust trims.
- Sporty M Sport exhaust and attention-grabbing brake calipers in bright red.
- Piano black dashboard elements and signature M seat belts.
- While the enhancements cause the X5 to appear sharper and more athletic, it is still an elegant vehicle that cultivates a truly premium look and feel.
Off-Road Cred You Can Trust
In addition to its bold appearance, the X5 M Sport Pro has the xOffroad package, with four terrain modes:
- xSand
- xRocks
- xGravel
- xSnow
All four terrain modes are accessed through a rocker switch located on the console, which raises the vehicle height and modifies xDrive traction settings, throttle, transmission, and stability control to suit the driving conditions.
Power Meets Efficiency
Both versions have a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission: Performance statistics are as follows:
- Petrol (xDrive40i M Sport Pro): 375 bhp and 520 Nm
- Diesel (xDrive30d M Sport Pro): 282 bhp and 650 Nm
A 48V mild-hybrid system backs both engines, adding 12 bhp and 200 Nm for smoother power delivery and enhanced efficiency.
