Spy Photographers Capture the 2026 BMW X5 M60e Hybrid
Spy photographers have once again caught a glimpse of the highly anticipated 2026 BMW X5 (G65), showcasing the next generation of BMWâs best-selling SUV in the midst of development testing. This latest sighting takes place on the sun-drenched roads of southern Europe, where BMWâs engineering teams are putting the finishing touches on one of their most critical models: the BMW X5 M60e.
While the electric iX5 has been the star of many previous spy shots, this time it’s a plug-in hybrid powerhouse making wavesâa vehicle designed to offer both high performance and enhanced efficiency. The BMW X5 M60e xDrive is set to bridge the gap between the conventional X5 and the full-blown X5 M, promising a blend of cutting-edge technology and thrilling driving dynamics.

It draws inspiration from the M760e xDrive sedan, with a focus on offering impressive power from its inline-six gasoline engine combined with plug-in hybrid technology. But this isnât just another PHEVâitâs a serious contender with over 550 horsepower on tap, proving that electrification doesnât mean sacrificing performance.

Alongside the plug-in hybrid, BMW is also readying the all-electric iX5, which will debut alongside the new generation X5. With over 600 horsepower and advanced Gen6 battery technology, the iX5 M70 will represent the pinnacle of BMW’s electric capabilities, offering longer range, faster charging, and higher energy density. Despite being built on the same CLAR platform as its combustion-engine counterparts, the iX5âs next-gen battery tech positions it as one of the most advanced electric SUVs in BMWâs lineup.

The twin-turbo V8 will remain available in the U.S. under the X5 M60 badge, but it wonât make the cut in Europe due to stricter emissions regulations. Meanwhile, for those craving even more power, the future G95 X5 M is expected to arrive later in the generationâs lifecycle, bringing the kind of extreme performance that BMW M enthusiasts demand.
With production set to start in late 2026, the new X5 and iX5 are shaping up to be key players in BMWâs ongoing transition towards electrification, while still maintaining the brandâs hallmark performance pedigree.
