BMW unveiled the fifth-generation 2027 X5, showing the redesigned SUV in new photo sets and confirming it rides on a more modern platform.
The platform change is the key upgrade in the full reveal, with BMW highlighting broader enhancements beyond the styling teased ahead of launch.
The 2027 X5 had already been previewed with Neue Klasse-inspired cues, including X-shaped daytime running lights and revised kidney grilles.
BMW has tied the new X5 generation to five powertrains, including gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, fully electric iX5 and a hydrogen variant expected later.
