This all-new BMW SUV completely alters the formula with an exterior design that features elongated kidney grilles, a monolithic shape, and pressure-sensing door winglets instead of traditional handles. But the biggest styling shift might be the elimination of the signature split-folding tailgate, a move made to prioritize cargo space and aerodynamic efficiency. On the performance front, the new BMW X5 introduces incredible flexibility with five different powertrain options globally, including a fully electric iX5, a plug-in hybrid, and traditional gas variants. While the U.S. market likely won't see the diesel or hydrogen versions, the upcoming 2027 BMW X5 lineup promises an option for everyone. Step inside the cabin, and you are greeted by an ultra-premium layout featuring real stone accents, synthetic suede, and massive tech upgrades like the panoramic iDrive system and a highly advanced voice assistant. Our verdict? While we still need to get it out on the road to see how it matches up against its rivals, this new SUV feels like a true luxury tour de force. The 2027 BMW X5's price and driving dynamics remain the big question marks, but this first look confirms that BMW is aiming to set a brand-new benchmark for modern luxury SUVs.
