2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i Automatic

This new 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i combines the practicality of a large SUV with a specification focused on comfort, connectivity and driver assistance. Its petrol powertrain produces 280 kW (381 hp) and 520Nm, with power delivered through an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The result is a substantial family-sized vehicle with the performance hardware to suit both everyday travel and longer-distance touring.

The X5's cabin is finished in black and provides seating for five. Sport seats for the driver and front passenger, front-seat heating and electrically adjustable seats with memory contribute to a more accommodating driving environment, while lumbar support adds further adjustment for occupants in the front. Comfort access, ambient lighting and a panoramic glass roof help give the interior a more refined and open character.

BMW Live Cockpit Professional provides the vehicle's central digital interface, supported by Connected Package Professional, TeleServices and a personal eSIM. DAB+ radio and the available Harman Kardon surround sound system add useful entertainment options, while wireless charging storage helps keep compatible devices ready for use. The Travel & Comfort System and luggage-compartment net also support the practical side of the X5's design.

Exterior equipment includes adaptive LED headlights, a high-beam assistant and exterior mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle functionality. M Sport detailing brings an M leather steering wheel, M Aerodynamics package, Adaptive M Suspension, M High-Gloss Shadow Line elements and M headliner anthracite trim. M roof rails and the BMW kidney Iconic Glow further distinguish the vehicle's exterior presentation.

Its standard and optional safety equipment is extensive. Driving Assistant Professional, Parking Assistant Professional, Active Protection and Active Pedestrian Protection are designed to support the driver in different traffic and parking situations. The vehicle also includes an alarm system, anti-theft security system, intelligent emergency calling and a warning triangle. An emergency spare wheel provides an additional measure of roadside preparedness.

The Enhancement Package adds a tyre pressure monitor, CraftedClarity glass applications for interior elements and the Harman Kardon surround sound system. Carbon Fibre interior trim finishers are also specified as a factory option. These additions give the X5 a more individualised interior while complementing its technology and equipment focus.

With a listed fuel consumption figure of 9.3L/100km, an 83-litre fuel tank and a stated combined CO2 output of 211 g/km, this is a conventional petrol SUV rather than an electrified model. The vehicle measures 2004mm in width and 1765mm in height, dimensions that reflect its spacious, substantial road presence. A claimed maximum speed of 250 km/h and 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.40 seconds underline the strong performance available from the xDrive40i specification.
