BMW X5 Comparison

The BMW X5 is the brand's large luxury SUV and one of the models that helped define the premium SUV segment. Larger, faster, more powerful – but also heavier – the new BMW X5 has been revealed and will be in Australian showrooms by the end of 2026. It combines strong road presence, a spacious cabin, confident towing and touring ability, and a broad range of engines including efficient six-cylinder options and high-performance variants. The current X5 remains one of BMW's most versatile models, capable of family use, long-distance travel and daily commuting with a more polished feel than mainstream large SUVs. Its cabin technology, materials and ride comfort place it firmly in luxury territory, while the chassis retains enough driver appeal to feel recognisably BMW. The X5 is the all-rounder of the upper BMW SUV range.
