In this BMW X5 Review, we break down what makes the 2026 BMW X5 such an easy SUV to live with: smooth power from the turbo inline-six, a genuinely upscale cabin, and a calm, confident feel on the road. It is not trying to be a track toy, but it still has that BMW edge when the road gets twisty, especially in the xDrive40i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2026 X5 SUV is a nice car to drive, but it’s not as sporty as smaller models. BMW is famous for its great driving experience. The standard turbocharged inline-six engine gives you smooth, steady power. A twin-turbo V-8 engine gives you a lot more power and a rumbling sound that the six doesn’t have. A plug-in hybrid is also available, but we’ll discuss that model separately. The X5’s luxurious cabin seats four, but five could fit in an emergency. The larger X7 is the only one with a third row, but it offers plenty of cargo space and the latest communication technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
