Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: BMW is launching the redesigned 2027 X5 with two powertrains. A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six is used in the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) X5 40 and all-wheel drive (AWD) X5 40 xDrive, coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine runs on the Miller cycle to improve efficiency and is teamed with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to further reduce fuel consumption. But output is still 394 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, which is 19 hp and 45 lb-ft of torque more than in the outgoing X5. BMW estimates a 5.1-second 0–60 mph time, while the top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. The X5 50e xDrive plug-in hybrid retains the inline-six and eight-speed automatic, but with an electric motor housed within the transmission. The motor is powered by a 26.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack housed under the floor. Total system output is 483 hp and 516 lb-ft, getting the X5 plug-in hybrid from 0–60 mph in a BMW-estimated 4.6 seconds. Top speed is 155 mph in hybrid mode and 87 mph in electric mode.

Which BMW X5 trim should I buy?

The 2027 BMW X5 offers these trims:

• X5 40: The base rear-wheel-drive model starts the lineup with the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, eight-speed automatic, adaptive damping, and the new Panoramic Vision display setup.
• X5 40 xDrive: This all-wheel-drive version adds AWD to the same inline-six powertrain and is the best-value choice for buyers who want the core redesign with added traction.
• X5 50e xDrive: The plug-in hybrid adds the electric motor and 26.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack, delivering the strongest output and the longest electric-driving capability in the lineup.

What BMW X5 do most buyers choose?

The BMW X5 years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and deal opportunities. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver newer features while still offering used-car savings.

What is the BMW X5's resale value?

Most BMW X5 model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes are clustered among the most recent and older entries. That pattern gives you more room to find value without giving up the X5’s premium appeal.

The 2026, 2016, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used BMW X5 now or wait for the next model?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $56,867. The BMW X5 offers a roomy, comfortable cabin with a premium feel and strong everyday versatility.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: BMW is launching the redesigned 2027 X5 with two powertrains. A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six is used in the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) X5 40 and all-wheel drive (AWD) X5 40 xDrive, coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine runs on the Miller cycle to improve efficiency and is teamed with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to further reduce fuel consumption. But output is still 394 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, which is 19 hp and 45 lb-ft of torque more than in the outgoing X5. BMW estimates a 5.1-second 0–60 mph time, while the top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. The X5 50e xDrive plug-in hybrid retains the inline-six and eight-speed automatic, but with an electric motor housed within the transmission. The motor is powered by a 26.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack housed under the floor.

• Tech: BMW’s new infotainment concept combines the display-only Panoramic Vision screen at the base of the windshield with a 17.9-inch central touchscreen and optional 14.6-inch front-passenger touchscreen. BMW’s own voice recognition system helps cut through some of this confusion. It can pull up specific menus, control some in-cabin functions, and can offer proactive suggestions, according to BMW.
• Safety: The X5 comes standard with typical driver-assistance features such as lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitors, cross-traffic alert, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, evasive-steering assist, adaptive cruise control, automated lane centering, and safe-exit assist that can prevent doors from opening when traffic or cyclists are approaching. New for 2027 is BMW’s Symbiotic Drive software, which analyzes the driver’s behavior to determine their intention, and allows the driver to continue making inputs while systems are active instead of having to fight them or causing them to deactivate.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $71,250 for the base RWD X5 40 model (all prices include a $1,450 destination charge).

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
