2026 BMW X5 Specs & Performance.
Power meets precision in every 2026 BMW X5 configuration. The flagship M Competition unleashes 617 horsepower from its 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. This beast launches you from zero to sixty in just 3.7 seconds while maintaining the composure you expect from a luxury SUV.
For drivers seeking efficiency, the plug-in hybrid xDrive50e for sale might be a better option. With an impressive 483 horsepower, it offers up to 38 miles of pure electric driving. The intelligent combination of a turbocharged inline-six engine and electric motors gives you the best of both worlds. Even the entry-level models get 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engines producing 375 horsepower.
Every X5 benefits from BMW's latest 48V mild-hybrid technology and pairs with an 8-speed automatic. The standard xDrive all-wheel-drive system (except on the sDrive40i) ensures confident handling. Top speed reaches 155 mph on performance models, though you'll find plenty of excitement well below that limit.
2026 BMW X5 Capability.
This SUV handles real-world challenges as easily as it conquers the open road. When properly equipped, your X5 can tow up to 7,200 pounds. The factory-installed trailer hitch integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's design and electronics.
BMW's 2-axle Air Suspension transforms your daily drive by adjusting to road conditions. Dynamic Damper Control comes standard on every model, constantly fine-tuning the ride quality. Carbon fiber shift paddles put gear changes at your fingertips, while Launch Control delivers perfect acceleration every time you need it.
Fuel efficiency is surprising for a vehicle that is this powerful. The plug-in hybrid xDrive50e achieves 22 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined when running on gasoline. Add those 38 electric miles, and your fuel stops become much less frequent.
2026 BMW X5 Interior.
Step inside and discover luxury that goes beyond expectations. The Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof creates an airy atmosphere with its integrated lighting that transforms the cabin at night. Premium Sensafin upholstery comes in rich colors like Cognac and Coffee. Front seats feature heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The driver and front passenger enjoy multiple memory settings as well.
Practicality shines through with 72.3 cubic feet of cargo space when you fold the rear seats flat. Plus, the power-operated split tailgate makes loading groceries or sports equipment effortless. Rear passengers aren't left out, either. They enjoy generous legroom and their own climate controls for the ultimate comfort.
2026 BMW X5 Exterior.
BMW's designers gave the 2026 X5 a presence that commands attention without shouting. The signature kidney grille sits lower and larger than before, creating a more athletic stance. Adaptive LED headlights actively adjust their beam pattern based on traffic and road conditions. Pair that with the roof spoiler and the center brake light, and you've got one beautiful exterior.
Personalization starts with over twelve available colors for your exterior paint. From classic Alpine White to exclusive Isle of Man Green metallic, your choice sets the tone for your X5's personality. Of course, you also have access to BMW Individuals, which gives you hundreds of unique colors.
Wheel options start at 20 inches and climb to 22 inches for those wanting maximum visual impact. Every wheel comes wrapped in run-flat tires, so a puncture won't leave you stranded. The variety of designs ranges from elegant multi-spoke patterns to aggressive split-spoke styles.
2026 BMW X5 Technology.
Technology in the 2026 X5 feels intuitive and simple, just as it should. The curved 14.9-inch display merges with the digital instrument cluster, creating one flowing screen. Consisting of a 12.3" instrument cluster and 14.9" central information display, it's safe to say that it's a big screen. Even better, it works with BMW's Operating System 8.5 through touch and voice commands.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean your phone connects automatically when you enter the vehicle. The My BMW App extends your connection beyond the cabin, letting you check vehicle status and start the engine from anywhere. Remote software updates keep your X5's features current without visiting the dealership.
Audio options range from the standard HiFi system to the premium Harman Kardon Surround Sound setup.
2026 BMW X5 Safety.
Protection comes from both prevention and preparation in the 2026 X5. The standard Active Driving Assistant watches for potential hazards at all times. It will provide warnings and even apply brakes when necessary. Frontal Collision Warning with Automatic City Collision Mitigation helps prevent low-speed accidents.
Then, more advanced features make highway driving more relaxing. The enhanced Highway Assistant enables hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph on compatible roads. Active Blind Spot Detection keeps watch where you can't see. The system can even actively help steer you back if you start drifting.
The Parking Assistance Package takes the stress out of tight spaces. Back-up Assistant remembers your last 50 yards of forward travel and can reverse along the exact same path. Remote Control Parking lets you move the X5 in and out of narrow spots using your smartphone while standing outside.
2026 BMW X5 Models.
sDrive40i/xDrive40i
These models come with the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. Power comes through either rear-wheel drive (sDrive40i) or intelligent all-wheel drive (xDrive40i). Launch Control and paddle shifters come standard, making every drive engaging.
Inside, you'll find comfortable Sensafin seating surfaces and genuine wood model. The HiFi Sound System fills the cabin with clear audio. Other features like rain-sensing wipers and automatic LED headlights handle the basics without you thinking about them. Twenty-inch wheels provide the perfect balance of comfort and style.
xDrive50e
Electric power transforms the X5 experience in this plug-in hybrid model. The combination of electric motors and a turbocharged six-cylinder engine produces 483 total horsepower. As such, the xDrive50e adds unique displays showing energy flow, battery status, and electric range. Special drive modes optimize performance or efficiency based on your needs.
The standard BMW Charging program helps you find public charging stations and makes home charging simple. Beyond the hybrid system, this model matches the equipment of other models while adding eco-focused features. Regenerative braking captures energy usually lost during deceleration.
M60i
Performance enthusiasts will love what BMW's M division brings to this model. The twin-turbocharged V8 generates 536 horsepower, enough to embarrass many sports cars. The free-flowing quad exhaust system provides the soundtrack. Chassis upgrades also match the engine's capabilities.
You'll find M Sport brakes with your choice of blue or red calipers for improved stopping power. The M Sport suspension and electronic differential work together to put all that power down effectively. Exclusive paint colors like Marina Bay Blue metallic let everyone know this isn't an ordinary X5.
Interior upgrades include ventilated front seats and a head-up display. Finally, the Harman Kardon sound system is a serious step up from the HiFi setup.
M Competition
This is BMW's no-compromise performance SUV. With 617 horsepower and track-ready components, the M Competition pushes boundaries. Carbon fiber elements reduce weight while adding visual drama. The M Track Mode reconfigures stability systems for closed-course driving.
Special M Shadowline Lights bring a distinctive appearance day or night. The exhaust system includes sound control, letting you choose between neighborhood-friendly quiet and full-volume performance. Six-piston front brakes with drilled rotors handle repeated high-speed stops without fading.
Inside, you'll enjoy an Alcantara headliner and M-specific displays. The instrument cluster provides detailed performance data, including G-forces and lap times.
