BMW has officially unveiled its latest X5 series SUV, now available with five different powertrain options. Alongside traditional petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid variants, the lineup welcomes the all-electric iX5 and the upcoming iX5 Hydrogen model, which boasts an impressive range of 620 km.

The all-new iX5 is built on the innovative Neue Klasse platform and features a design that incorporates elements from the iX3 but elevates it with unique double X-shaped headlights, hidden door handles integrated into the pillars, and sleek window seals.
Currently, BMW has announced one version of the iX5, the iX5 60 AWD, set to launch in early 2027. This model is powered by two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 570 hp (804 Nm) and enabling a swift acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.

This configuration will feature BMW's largest battery to date, with a capacity of 144 kWh, providing a remarkable cruising range of 700 km according to EPA estimates. While this range is noteworthy, potential buyers may question the overall weight of the vehicle.
Built on an 800V architecture, the iX5 supports rapid charging at 460 kW, allowing the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in only 22 minutes. For those in a hurry, a quick 10-minute charge offers an additional range of 274 km. The iX5 also supports bidirectional charging.

The interior marks a significant evolution from traditional BMW design, featuring the polarizing iX3 steering wheel as standard, unless the M Sport Professional package is selected.

A striking 17.9-inch central infotainment screen dominates the dashboard, complemented by a digital display that stretches from pillar to pillar. An optional 14.6-inch screen for the front passenger is also available.
The 50e xDrive PH and iX5 60 AWD configurations are expected to launch in early 2027, with starting prices of €67,390 and €69,360, respectively. For comparison, the base X5 40 begins at €60,820.
