The 2027 BMW X5 Near McKinney: What Changes in the Fifth Generation

The BMW X5 has been the default answer in the midsize luxury SUV segment for more than 25 years, which is exactly why this redesign deserves a careful look. BMW rebuilt the X5 from the ground up for 2027, and the changes run much deeper than a new grille.

The 2027 BMW X5 near McKinney is an all-new fifth generation with three drive systems across four models: the X5 40 and 40 xDrive at an estimated 394 hp, the X5 50e xDrive plug-in hybrid with up to an estimated 44 electric miles, and the all-electric iX5 60 xDrive with up to an estimated 435 miles.

At BMW of McKinney, our team helps drivers across McKinney, Plano, Allen, and the wider North Dallas area sort through exactly this kind of decision, and questions about the new X5 started arriving the week BMW revealed it.

This guide walks through every version of the 2027 BMW X5, covering estimated power, range, charging, and starting price. By the end you will know which model suits your commute, whether a plug fits your routine, and which ones reach our lot first. We have also flagged what is worth waiting for, since not every version lands at the same time.

Key Points: 2027 BMW X5 Near McKinney

• One nameplate now offers three ways to power it, with more on the way. BMW says the 2027 X5 is its first model to launch with five drive system types worldwide. Buyers here get three at launch: a mild hybrid inline-six, a plug-in hybrid, and the fully electric iX5.
• The technology leap is bigger than the styling change. BMW brought its Neue Klasse interior into the X5, including a 17.9-inch Central Display and Panoramic Vision projected across the base of the windshield.
• Arrival dates are staggered, so timing matters. The X5 40 xDrive reaches dealers in October 2026, while the rear-wheel-drive X5 40, the 50e xDrive, and the iX5 60 xDrive follow in the first quarter of 2027.

The 2027 BMW X5 Lineup at a Glance for McKinney Drivers

Four versions of the 2027 BMW X5 reach McKinney over the next several months. Here is how they compare.

All power, range, and acceleration figures are preliminary BMW estimates based on BMW AG testing following EPA procedures. Prices are manufacturer’s suggested retail and exclude the $1,450 destination and handling charge, taxes, fees, and dealer charges. Contact our team for current availability and pricing.

A few things stand out side by side. Every version falls within roughly $10,000 of the others at base price, so the decision comes down to how you want to fuel it more than how much you want to spend. The all-electric iX5 is also the most powerful X5 at launch at an estimated 570 horsepower. BMW assembles the 2027 X5 sold here at Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, and the iX5 is the first all-electric vehicle from that plant.

What Is New in the Fifth-Generation 2027 BMW X5?

A Sports Activity Vehicle is the category BMW created in 1999 with the original X5, pairing SUV space and ride height with the handling of a performance sedan. The 2027 BMW X5 keeps that formula, and we think the rest is close to a clean-sheet rewrite.

The front end stands taller, with a vertically arranged illuminated kidney grille and new double-X light icons combining the headlights, running lights, and turn signals. A 2.4-inch longer wheelbase opens up rear knee room. Adaptive suspension and 21-inch wheels come standard, with 22-inch and 23-inch wheels available.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 BMW X5 40 Have?

The 2027 BMW X5 40 produces an estimated 394 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque from an updated 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, an increase of 19 horsepower over the outgoing engine. BMW pairs it with a 48V mild hybrid system, which uses a small electric motor in the transmission to add torque when you pull away and recover energy when you slow down. It never needs plugging in. The X5 40 reaches 60 mph in an estimated 5.1 seconds while smoothing out stop-and-go traffic on US 75. Manufacturer starting MSRP is $69,800 for the X5 40 and $72,100 for the X5 40 xDrive.

How Far Can the 2027 BMW X5 50e xDrive Go on Electric Power?

The 2027 BMW X5 50e xDrive travels up to an estimated 44 miles on electricity alone. A plug-in hybrid is a vehicle that pairs a gas engine with a rechargeable battery you plug in at home, so short trips run on electricity while longer ones fall back on gas.

With most McKinney commutes running about 31 minutes each way, a single overnight charge covers a large share of local driving before the gas engine ever wakes up. Longer highway runs still use gas, and we consider that flexibility the point. The X5 50e xDrive delivers 483 estimated combined horsepower and 516 lb-ft, reaching 60 mph in an estimated 4.6 seconds. Manufacturer starting MSRP is $77,500.

What Is the Range of the New BMW iX5 60 xDrive?

The 2027 BMW iX5 60 xDrive is the first fully electric X5, with an estimated range of up to 435 miles and 570 horsepower from dual motors. Charging is where we think it separates itself. On a fast enough DC charger, the iX5 can add roughly 170 estimated miles in about 10 minutes, and a 10% to 80% charge takes an estimated 22 minutes.

A NACS charging port comes standard, and every iX5 includes bidirectional charging, which lets energy flow out of the battery as well as in, powering tools or your house during an outage. The heat pump climate system heats and cools efficiently, which matters where air conditioning runs for months. Manufacturer starting MSRP is $79,800.

What Technology Comes Inside the 2027 BMW X5?

The 2027 BMW X5 interior runs BMW Panoramic iDrive, spreading information across a 17.9-inch Central Display, a standard 3D Head-Up Display, and Panoramic Vision along the base of the windshield, so key information sits in your sight line without covering the road.

An optional 14.6-inch Passenger Screen adds front-seat entertainment, and an interior camera dims it if the driver looks over. Optional four-zone climate control adds ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, which we expect to be a popular box to check here in July. Available Highway Assistant permits hands-free driving on suitable highways at up to 85 mph when conditions allow, with the driver attentive.

Which 2027 BMW X5 Is Right for You?

In our experience the right version comes down to how you drive and whether a plug fits your routine. You can also build your own BMW online:

• You want the lowest entry price: The rear-wheel-drive X5 40 starts at $69,800 MSRP with the same inline-six.
• You want nothing to do with charging: The X5 40 xDrive adds all-wheel drive with no change to your habits.
• You have a garage outlet and a normal commute: The X5 50e xDrive covers most local driving on electricity, with gas for weekend trips.
• You are ready to go fully electric: The iX5 60 xDrive offers up to an estimated 435 miles and the quickest acceleration here.
• You want maximum performance: A V8-powered M Performance version arrives later in 2027.
