While Canadian pricing and availability have yet to be announced, the model pairs a more powerful version of BMW\u2019s turbocharged six-cylinder engine with a 197-horsepower electric motor integrated into the eight-speed transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Combined output climbs to 483 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, while its 26-kWh battery is expected to deliver up to 100 kilometres of electric-only driving.

A bold front fascia is highlighted by BMW\u2019s new double-\u201cX\u201d headlight signature and illuminated vertical kidney grille, creating a look that is unmistakable in any rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>The body sides remain clean thanks to slim gloss-black haptic door handles integrated into the B- and C-pillars, while the rear lighting echoes the front-end\u2019s distinctive double-X theme.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, BMW has taken a dramatic step forward. The cabin feels more sculptural than previous generations, highlighted by an illuminated accent strip stretching across the dashboard and premium materials throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than one continuous curved display, the dashboard now separates the digital driver display, the 17.9-inch central touchscreen, and an optional passenger display into distinct elements that add visual depth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2027-BMW-iX5-60-dash.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2027-BMW-iX5-60-dash.jpg\" alt=\"2027-BMW-iX5-60-dash\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"  \/><\/a>2027 BMW iX5 60<\/p>\n<p>Drivers are greeted by an all-new steering wheel design that eliminates traditional horizontal spokes while remaining comfortable in hand.<\/p>\n<p>The familiar iDrive rotary controller has officially been retired. In its place is the latest generation of BMW Panoramic iDrive, powered by BMW Operating System X. Its centrepiece is Panoramic Vision, which projects customizable information across the full width of the lower windshield. Key driving information appears directly in front of the driver, while the centre and passenger-side sections can display navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information.<\/p>\n<p>Voice control has also evolved. The enhanced \u201cHey BMW\u201d assistant continues to learn driver preferences while providing natural access to virtually every vehicle function.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2027-BMW-iX5-60-centre-console.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2027-BMW-iX5-60-centre-console.jpg\" alt=\"2027-BMW-iX5-60-centre-console\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"  \/><\/a>2027 BMW iX5 60<\/p>\n<p>Few vehicles carry as much weight within BMW\u2019s global lineup as the X5. It remains one of the company\u2019s best-selling models in North America and consistently ranks among Canada\u2019s most popular luxury SUVs. Judging by its extensive redesign, electrified powertrains, and technology-rich cabin, BMW is making it clear that the X5 will remain at the centre of its SUV strategy well into the electric era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BMW\u2019s X5 Sports Activity Vehicle arguably created the blueprint for the performance-oriented luxury SUV.
