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 alongside five-star ANCAP safety. Its standout strength is efficiency-the 3.0-litre diesel delivers 210kW and 620Nm while returning 8.6L/100km combined, translating to reasonable running costs around $2203 annually. One consideration: at 2140kg 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.
Configure the xDrive30dThe 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i is a mid-size luxury SUV that appeals to buyers wanting premium German engineering with practical everyday usability, offering a 3.0-litre petrol engine producing 280kW and 520Nm through all-wheel drive. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine performance-0-100km/h in around 5.8 seconds-with respectable fuel efficiency at 8.6L/100km and a 650-litre boot that expands with folding seats, plus the reassurance of 5-star ANCAP safety and a 5-year warranty. The main consideration is running costs, with annual servicing and consumables typically around $2,203 per year, so factor this into your budget beyond the purchase price.
Configure the xDrive40iThe 2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e is a premium five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV that suits buyers wanting luxury, performance and low-fuel consumption without full-electric range anxiety, offering 360kW and 700Nm from its 3-litre engine with 100km of pure EV running. Its standout strength is the combination of 8.6L/100km fuel efficiency with genuine all-electric capability for daily commutes, backed by a 650-litre boot and 3500kg towing capacity for family versatility. One thing to consider: running costs of approximately $2203 annually are competitive for this class, but the plug-in hybrid complexity means you'll want a reliable warranty-fortunately BMW's five-year coverage provides solid peace of mind.
Configure the xDrive50eThe 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 8.6L/100km-making it practical for both spirited driving and daily commutes across Australia's varied terrain. One thing to consider: at 2310kg 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.
