The 2026 BMW X5 is for those who want luxury and performance without compromising on tech.
Smooth turbocharged power · Luxurious tech-filled cabin
Snug rear seating · Limited interior storage
The 2026 BMW X5 stands as a testament to BMW's ability to meld luxury and performance into a single, sophisticated package. Our time behind the wheel revealed a midsize SUV that is both engaging and comfortable, with its 3.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline-6 delivering a smooth yet exhilarating drive. The interior is a plush retreat, filled with advanced tech that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. While the styling might not turn heads, the driving experience certainly will. This is the SUV for those who want a taste of BMW's sporty heritage but need the practicality of an SUV. Its only letdowns are a snug rear seat and small mirrors that can challenge visibility.
Our pick: xDrive50e ($76,375)
vs. 2026 Tesla Cybertruck: The X5 offers a more traditional luxury experience with its refined interior and driving dynamics, whereas the Cybertruck focuses on futuristic design and electric capability.
