Blink and you might miss it! This is BMW's facelifted X5 – but the changes are so small, you'd be hard pressed to spot them. However, with new front and rear bumpers, tweaked lights and trim updates the new SUV will be usefully sharper looking when it goes on sale early next year.

Inside, the cabin will be revised with an increased emphasis on material quality while under the bonnet the engine range is likely to stay the same. BMW will soon be introducing a range-topping M version of the X5 and the X6, which are both likely to get an all-new twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8.
