⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.

The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.

UK specifications — not the Australian certification
This model has not been certified for sale in Australia yet, so there is no ADR fuel label and no Green Vehicle Guide record for it. The figures below are the manufacturer's own WLTP numbers, published here so you can size the car up early. Expect the Australian figures to differ. Local pricing, warranty and any ANCAP rating are unknown and deliberately left blank rather than estimated.
Overview
The 2026 BMW X5 xDrive30d is a premium mid-size diesel SUV suited to buyers seeking executive comfort with genuine towing capability, offering 3500kg capacity and a 650-litre boot. Its standout strength is the 3.0-litre diesel, which delivers 219kW and 670Nm while returning 7.8L/100km combined. One consideration: at 2220kg kerb weight, it's a substantial vehicle requiring confidence in urban environments, though the eight-speed automatic and AWD system provide composed on-road manners.

Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file.

The 2026 BMW X5 xDrive30d is a premium mid-size diesel SUV suited to buyers seeking executive comfort with genuine towing capability, offering 3500kg capacity and a 650-litre boot. Its standout strength is the 3.0-litre diesel, which delivers 219kW and 670Nm while returning 7.8L/100km combined. One consideration: at 2220kg kerb weight, it's a substantial vehicle requiring confidence in urban environments, though the eight-speed automatic and AWD system provide composed on-road manners.

The 2026 BMW X5 M60i xDrive is a premium mid-size SUV suited to buyers seeking performance and luxury, combining its 4.4-litre twin-turbo petrol engine's 390kW and 750Nm with all-wheel drive capability and a 3500kg towing capacity. Its standout strength is the balance of power delivery and efficiency-that 390kW output doesn't compromise significantly on fuel economy at 11.9L/100km-making it practical for both spirited driving and daily commutes across Australia's varied terrain. One thing to consider: at 2345kg and with a 650-litre boot, it's heavier and less spacious than some competitors, so verify it suits your payload and cargo needs before committing.

The BMW X5 50e xDrive is the plug-in hybrid version of the new-generation (G65) BMW X5. BMW Australia says it will be available to order from 2027. BMW has published only provisional figures for it so far, so no price or specifications are listed here yet.

BMW X5 40d xDrive
The BMW X5 40d xDrive is a diesel grade of the new G65 generation X5. BMW Australia says the X5 40 xDrive and 40d xDrive will be available from late 2026, and for now it invites buyers to register their interest rather than order. BMW Australia's configurator lists a six-cylinder diesel engine with four-wheel drive and describes the output as "composed of internal combustion drive 210 kW and electric drive up to 13 kW". BMW Australia's technical-data page lists the powertrain type as "Diesel, 48 Volt Mild-Hybrid", which is why we file the car as a mild hybrid. BMW Australia has announced pricing through its media site, which requires a login. Its public configurator shows a Manufacturer's Recommended Drive-away Price that depends on the buyer's postcode. CarSorted stores no price for this car until BMW publishes a list price on a page we can read.

The BMW X5 40 xDrive is a petrol grade of the new G65 generation X5. BMW Australia says the X5 40 xDrive and 40d xDrive will be available from late 2026, and for now it invites buyers to register their interest rather than order. BMW Australia's configurator lists a six-cylinder petrol engine with four-wheel drive and describes the output as "composed of internal combustion drive 294 kW and electric drive up to 13 kW". Because of that small electric drive we class the car as a mild hybrid; that label is ours, and BMW's configurator does not use it. BMW Australia has announced pricing through its media site, which requires a login. Its public configurator shows a Manufacturer's Recommended Drive-away Price that depends on the buyer's postcode.
