Upcoming BMW Models X5 and iX5 (2026): Fresh Details and Images Revealed
The automotive world is abuzz with anticipation as BMW prepares to unveil its next generation of luxury SUVs: the X5 and its electric counterpart, the iX5, in 2026. Here's what we know so far about these highly-awaited vehicles.
Starting from the rear, both the X5 and iX5 will sport a prominent diffuser, reminiscent of the 5 Series, and a relatively flat rear window. The rugged bumper around the license plate area adds a touch of ruggedness to the design.
Up front, the vehicles will feature a redesigned front with a narrower double grille, marking a departure from the large kidneys that have been a trademark of BMW.
The iX5 is expected to come with an increased battery size from the 81.2 kWh (net) of the 5 Series, and an 800V system could be used for higher charging power. The i5, another electric BMW model, charges at up to 205 kW (DC).
In the powertrain department, the BMW iX5 M70 xDrive and i5 M60 xDrive could potentially power a high-performance M variant of the iX5, delivering up to 485 kW (659 PS). However, the status of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen remains unclear.
The interior of the X5 and iX5 (2026) is still under wraps, but the study Vision Neue Klasse X suggests a clean cockpit with a centrally located touchscreen display. The head-up display could span the entire windshield, potentially phasing out the popular iDrive controller.
The BMW X5 and iX5 (2026) will compete in the luxury SUV market against established players such as the Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE/EQE SUV, Porsche Cayenne, and Tesla Model X.
While the specific individual responsible for the electrification of the BMW X5 and the BMW iX5 remains undisclosed, it's important to note that the BMW Group's work on hydrogen fuel cell technology, as seen in the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, involves collaboration with Toyota. The development of such technologies typically involves a team effort rather than a single named individual.
Lastly, the roof spoiler of the BMW X5 and iX5 (2026) is quite distinctive, adding a sporty touch to the overall design. As we approach 2026, the anticipation for these new models continues to grow, with BMW promising a blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability. Stay tuned for more updates!
