Aside the new engine now having a Bi-Turbo setup instead of the a single unit, there are some other updates too.

New steering wheel (with alu aka new S80).
New graphics and updated software for Sat Nav.
Double Tail pipes for the D5.
Silver roof rails on SE Lux
Humidity Sensor std on SE & SE Lux.

Price increase is £750 for the D5. New engine also for the 2.4D, now with 175 bhp (the old 163 bhp engine is gone). This new engine is 2WD. No 4WD option. D5 is still 4WD.

Production starts on 11/5. First deliveries in early June.

Options have changed as well. Some increases, the Communication Pack is now £2100 (+£100). TPM no longer available as factory order.

Here are the new/old stats of the D5:

Old New
185 / 205 bhp
400 / 420 Nm Torque
2000-2750 / 1500-3250 rpm
9.4 / 8.4s 0-60 (auto)
124 / 127 mph topspeed
25.9 / 28.0 Mpg Urban
41.5 / 46.3 Mpg Extra Urban
34 / 37.7 Mpg Combined

Pretty impressive I think.
