Next-gen BMW X5 spied for the 1st time with Neue Klasse design

The next-gen BMW X5 will be offered with both ICE and EV powertrains

BMW is working on the next-generation X5 SUV. The upcoming X5 will be the 5th-generation iteration of the SUV and will feature the brand's latest design language.

The next-generation BMW X5 will be offered with both ICE and EV powertrains, with the pure-electric version called the iX5. The report also suggests it could replace the similarly sized iX. Also, the new-gen X5 and iX5 are scheduled to enter production in August 2026.

Ahead of its arrival, the new-gen X5 has been spotted testing for the first time. The spy images showcase the X5 featuring BMW's new design language previewed by the Neue Klasse sedan and Vision Neue Klasse X SUV concepts.

This includes a wider and more horizontal front kidney grille. The iX5 is also expected to ditch the conventional door handles, instead featuring buttons to release the doors. The new-gen X5 could feature X-shaped LED DRLs and new LED headlamps.
