Leaked images of BMW’s next SUV, the ‘2027 X5’, have surfaced and are drawing attention.
The 2027 X5 is expected to represent the biggest update since the 2018 model and to adopt BMW’s next design philosophy, ‘Neue Klasse’.
Observers say it borrows cues from the electric iX3 and appears headed toward a more futuristic aesthetic.
Front echoes the iX3…
Bolder styling
Leaked full redesign of the X5
The new X5 pairs an enlarged kidney grille with slim headlamps for a sharper front end.
The flanks show angular wheel arches and sharpened character lines for a more dynamic stance than before.
At the rear, BMW adopts thin taillamps and a new ‘M-shaped’ light graphic to distinguish the model.
PHEV-focused lineup… pure-electric iX5 also planned

The leaked example wears X5 M60e badging, indicating a strategy centered on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
A PHEV based on a 3.0-liter inline-six turbo appears likely, with BMW expected to offer a pure-electric iX5 alongside future high-performance V8 variants.
This lineup reflects BMW’s approach to retain gasoline, diesel and electrified options across the X5 range.
Is tradition disappearing?
Tailgate redesign draws attention
Leaked full redesign of the X5
One of the biggest changes involves the tailgate structure.
Reports suggest BMW may replace the split tailgate that has long symbolized the X5 with a single-piece, top-hinged design.
If BMW applies this change to the production model, it could significantly alter the X5’s identity.
BMW plans to begin production in the second half of 2026 and to launch the model globally in 2027.
