The best-selling luxury SUV from BMW is about a new chapter. The next generation BMW X5, Chassis Code G65, is scheduled to start production in August 2026 before it arrives as a vehicle for the 2027 model year in exhibition rooms. Our exclusive renderings, inspired by the recent heavily disguised prototypes, imagine how the flagship -SUV from BMW could develop under the influence of the NEE class design language.
A familiar form with a new class details
From the front, the render shows a design that lends information from the upcoming IX3 (Na0). The kidney grill is cleaner and upright, framed by slim headlights with two sloping LEDs in the housing. On the side, the X5 retains its iconic proportions, but wins more shaped surfaces and fewer character lines, which signals a movement in the direction of a more decent, more futuristic look. Handles in the wing style, which are mounted high along the Belt line, reflect the Vision Nee Class X concept.
The render gives a brave statement in the back. The taillights flow into a central comb over the trunk, which is connected by a thin LED rod. Each rear light ends in a reverse V-shaped signature and adds distinction, while the focus of the new class refers to light-based design motifs.
Rendered: BMW X5 M60
Our render also imagines the BMW X5 M60, which is driven by the Twin Turbo V8. As with today’s model, there are the M60 Sports Quad exhaust tips, which give it the same attitude and attitude as a fat X5 M., while the future of the eight-cylinder in Europe is less secure, the US market will continue to transmit the S68 V8 mild hybrid.
Production time bar and interior
Although the X5 debuts begin as a model year 2027 in August 2026. The first deliveries are expected at the end of this year or early 2027. Inside, the SUV makes a leap forward: Early spy shots have revealed new class-class-class-class-class things such as the panorama vision display and a 17.9-inch center screen that was integrated into a newly designed dash-dash.
Drive train: gas, hybrid, EV and more
BMW prepares the widest X5 line -up so far. The G65 is offered with:
- Petrol models: Six cylinder and V8 options, including plug-in hybrids such as 50e and M60E.
- All-Elektric IX5: BMWS first full electrical X5, expected from 50 XDRIVE, 60 XDRIVE and M70 XDrive drugs. The SUV built on an 800-volt system and enables a rumored load of 350 kW and increases around 186 miles in ten minutes. A rumored IX5 -Rex with a range of over 1,000 kilometers can follow for some markets, although a final decision was still made.
- Diesel versions: For selected markets outside the United States
- Hydrogen: Planned for 2028 and extends the BMW fuel cell program beyond the IX5 pilot fleet.
China will also receive a long -wheel variant, while the rest of the world continues with standard shares.
Longer cycle, larger ambitions
BMW is currently planning the G65 production until July 2035, an unusually long life cycle that reflects the variety of drive strands and global demand. For fans of more power, the Rumormill is released that we would see another full X5 M. given the product cadence of BMW M that such a model would be likely to appear according to the debut of the X5 series.
