2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i Automatic

The 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i is a large luxury SUV that combines a substantial road presence with the practicality expected from a five-seat family vehicle. Finished in Black Sapphire metallic with a black interior, this new example presents a restrained, contemporary specification while retaining the sporting character associated with the X5 range.

Power comes from a petrol engine producing 280 kW (381 hp) and 520 Nm of torque, matched with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The combination is suited to effortless progress across a range of driving conditions, while the listed 9.3L/100km fuel consumption provides a useful reference for its touring and day-to-day running requirements. Performance figures supplied for the vehicle include a 0–100 km/h time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

The X5’s SUV format provides a high-set driving position and a versatile cabin layout, with seating for five occupants. Its dimensions, including a width of 2004 mm and height of 1765 mm, give it the substantial proportions associated with a full-size premium SUV without moving into a larger three-row format. Practical details such as the luggage-compartment net, emergency spare wheel, luggage-area equipment and M roof rails support everyday usability and longer-distance travel.

Inside, the cabin combines black trim with electric seat adjustment and memory, lumbar support for the front occupants, heated front seats and sport seats. Comfort Access makes entry and starting more convenient, while the panoramic glass roof adds light to the passenger compartment. Fineline Black with Metal Effect interior detailing, ambient lighting and a black headliner contribute to a cabin that is visually distinctive without being overly ornate.

Technology is centred on BMW Live Cockpit Professional, supported by Connected Package Professional, a personal eSIM, TeleServices, intelligent emergency calling and DAB+ radio. Wireless charging storage is also included. The listed enhancement package adds a Harman Kardon Surround Sound System, glass CraftedClarity interior elements and a tyre-pressure monitoring system, broadening the vehicle’s focus on presentation, connectivity and occupant convenience.

Driver assistance equipment includes Driving Assistant Professional, Parking Assistant Professional, High-Beam Assistant, adaptive LED headlights, active pedestrian protection and BMW’s Active Protection system. The combination is intended to reduce the workload involved in urban manoeuvring, highway driving and low-light travel, while the parking assistance system is particularly useful for a vehicle of this size.

The M Sport specification brings an M leather steering wheel, M Aerodynamics package, Adaptive M Suspension, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing and an anthracite M headliner. M Sport brakes, high-gloss roof rails and BMW kidney Iconic Glow detailing add further visual and hardware differentiation. The sports automatic Steptronic transmission complements the vehicle’s performance-oriented equipment.

With zero kilometres displayed, all-wheel drive, five-seat versatility and an extensive mix of comfort, safety and connectivity features, this X5 xDrive40i represents a well-equipped new luxury SUV specification. Its blend of performance capability, cabin technology and practical equipment gives it a broad remit for both regular urban use and longer journeys.

Other highlights include Drive train: All Wheel Drive; Engine or motor: 280 kW (381 hp), 520Nm.
