After countless spy photos, sightings, and teasers, the all-new fifth-generation BMW X5 is here. Not only does it get the brand's Neue Klasse look & new technologies, but the latest X5 is available with multiple powertrains. These include mild-hybrid (MHEV) gas & diesel, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), battery electric (BEV), and hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV).

Starting with the exterior, the fifth-generation X5 moves away from its rugged, dynamic SUV looks in favor of a futuristic and cutting-edge design. While it borrows heavily from the iX3, the all-new X5 features a more daring front fascia courtesy of the dual “X” lighting signatures that double as LED daytime running lights, turn signals, and headlights. These then complement the dual vertical grille and sporty front bumper.

Along the side, one may notice the lack of traditional door handles. That's because BMW decided to switch it up for the X5 and gave it door handle tabs on the window pillars. This gives the vehicle a more aerodynamic appearance without having to rely on folding door handles.

Also worth mentioning are the huge 21-inch alloy wheels (23-inch set optional), chunky wheel arches, the distinct horizontal LED taillights, a massive tailgate, a dynamic beltline that runs the entire length of the vehicle, and black body cladding on the rear bumpers, side skirts, and front bumper.

Unfortunately, the all-new X5 does away with the split tailgate, as BMW opted for a simpler tailgate design for the fifth-generation model.

Hop inside, and those familiar with the iX3's cabin will find a similar setup. From the Panoramic iDrive display below the windshield to the dual infotainment display on the dashboard, as well as the edgier steering wheel, BMW wasted no time giving the X5's interior a glow-up.

The infotainment system runs on the latest Operating System X and features wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 3D real-time navigation with intelligent voice control, and more. Other notable features include ambient lighting, a 3D heads-up display for the driver, a 14.6-inch infotainment screen for the front passenger, and plenty of interior finishes and color choices.

As mentioned earlier, the all-new X5 is available with different powertrain choices. Starting with the MHEV models, the range starts with the X5 40 and the X5 40 xDrive, which both get a 3.0L TwinPowerTurbo inline-six that makes 400 PS and 580 Nm of torque. It is then assisted by a 48V electric motor, which delivers an extra 19 PS and 61 Nm of torque. Those who still swear by diesel power can also get the all-new X5 40d xDrive. Like the gas version, this one gets a 48V MHEV assist and makes 312 PS with 670 Nm of torque.

Prefer a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) turbo? There's also the X5 50e xDrive, which has been carried over from the outgoing generation. It pairs a 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-six that makes a combined 490 PS with 700 Nm of torque, thanks to an electric motor and an upsized 26.5 kWh battery pack. Not only can this plug-in hybrid go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, but it can also run on electric power for over 70 km.

Serving as the most powerful X5 yet is the all-electric iX5 60 xDrive. Thanks to a pair of electric motors, the electric X5 cranks out an impressive 578 PS and a whopping 804 Nm of torque. It can also sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. All of these are made possible thanks to a massive 144 kWh battery pack and an 800V architecture.

On a full charge, BMW claims the iX5 60 xDrive can do up to 845 km. Meanwhile, the vehicle supports up to 460 kW of DC charging, which means it can be recharged from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes. Moreover, BMW says that a quick 10-minute recharge can give the iX5 up to 274 km of range when hooked up to a 460 kW DC charger.

Last but certainly not least is the iX5 Hydrogen. While BMW has yet to officially reveal its specifications, the automaker did say it makes use of what they call a “Flat Storage System”. This allows the iX5 Hydrogen to have its tanks placed in the chassis to save space and lower its center of gravity.

Paired with a high-voltage battery, BMW says the iX5 Hydrogen can deliver a range of up to 750 km, which is slightly lower than the iX5 60 xDrive. When it comes to refueling, the automaker says that a quick five-minute refuel is all it needs to get going again.

The market launch of the all-new BMW X5 will begin in late November 2026, with the combustion models scheduled to arrive first. They will then be followed by EV and PHEV variants in early 2027, while the iX5 Hydrogen may follow suit in mid-2027. That means the Philippine market may have to wait for a long while before the all-new X5 makes its way here.
