BMW's bestselling SUV gets a dramatic redesign, new tech, and its first electric-powered model.
BMW enthusiasts may have the letter M tattooed on the brain, but for everyone else (and BMW’s bottom line), it’s all about the letter X. No pressure then, as BMW starts to roll out its all-new, fifth generation 2027 BMW X5, which is undergoing the biggest update in its nearly 30-year history. What that means for prospective buyers is more options than ever before, due in large part to BMW’s use of its Neue Klasse high tech platform as the basis for its new luxury midsize SUV.
Unsurprisingly, the latest X5 has grown in stature, and it features a daring front light signature that could turn off some longtime fans. But BMW is clearly hoping that the X5’s plethora of wow-factor features and breadth of powertrain options will outweigh any outcry over its bold styling cues.
