The fifth-generation BMW X5 is all new for 2027, and for the first time it comes as gas, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric. This guide covers every U.S. model, price, package, spec, and change from the 2026 X5, for shoppers who are still comparing as well as those ready to buy.
Quick answer: The 2027 BMW X5 is an all-new, two-row, five-seat midsize luxury SUV built in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The first model, the X5 40 xDrive, went on sale in October 2026 at $72,100 MSRP plus $1,450 destination ($73,550). It has a 394-hp turbocharged inline-six with 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, does 0–60 mph in 5.1 seconds, gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined, and tows up to 7,710 lb.

|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 375 hp | 394 hp |
| Torque | 383 lb-ft | 428 lb-ft |

Which 2027 X5 Should You Buy?
Best for towing and road trips
The most towing capacity (7,710 lb), no charging needed, and available now. It’s the right choice if you tow often or rarely have access to a home charger.
Lowest price
Same 394-hp engine for $2,300 less, with rear-wheel drive. Modesto’s climate makes it practical if you don’t drive in snow.
Best of both
About 44 electric miles for daily driving, a gas engine for long trips, and the most power of the gas-engine X5s (483 hp). Best if you can charge at home.
Fastest and fully electric
570 hp, an estimated 435 miles of range, and 460 kW charging, for $7,700 more than the 40 xDrive. Best for drivers ready to go all-electric. See our iX3 guide for BMW’s smaller Neue Klasse EV.
