The 2026 BMW X5 arrives at BMW Montreal Centre as a versatile midsize luxury SUV designed for Montreal families and professionals. This model handles Quebec's demanding weather conditions while delivering comfort for daily commuting and weekend travel. Three powertrain choices allow buyers to select the right balance of performance and efficiency. Visit our Montreal showroom to explore the X5 and find the configuration that suits your needs.
The front fascia centres on BMW's signature kidney grille, flanked by slim LED headlights that extend into the fenders. The hood features sculpted lines that flow toward the A-pillars. The profile shows a gently sloping roofline that preserves interior headroom while adding motion to the silhouette. Lower body cladding frames the wheel arches, and chrome trim outlines the side windows. At the rear, horizontal tail lights span the width of the vehicle, with dual exhaust tips visible on performance models. Wheel sizes vary by trim selection, with multiple designs available.
The cabin layout positions a curved screen assembly that merges the driver display with the central touchscreen, eliminating separate bezels. Leather upholstery covers the seats, with wood or metal trim options available depending on package selection. The dashboard integrates soft materials and stitched panels. Standard configuration seats five across two rows, with an optional third row for additional passengers. The Sky Lounge panoramic glass roof extends over the front and second rows, with LED elements that create ambient lighting effects at night. Cargo space behind the second row accommodates family luggage and sports equipment.
The xDrive40i model uses a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six engine with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, generating approximately 375 hp. The xDrive50e plug-in hybrid variant combines a turbocharged six-cylinder engine with an electric motor and battery pack, allowing short-distance electric driving before the gasoline engine engages. The M60i uses a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with mild hybrid support, producing approximately 523 hp. All versions include BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, distributing torque between front and rear axles as needed for Montreal winter roads. An eight-speed automatic transmission operates across the lineup.
BMW Operating System 8.5 runs on the curved display, managing navigation, audio, and vehicle settings through touch input. Wireless smartphone integration supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without cables. Harman Kardon audio systems are available on select trims for upgraded sound quality. Driving Assistant Professional adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centring support, and Highway Assistant that maintains speed and lane position up to 130 km/h on highways. Parking Assistant Professional includes a surround-view camera system and automated parking functions that handle parallel and perpendicular spaces. The system can store parking manoeuvres for repeated use. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic braking, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert. A head-up display projects speed and navigation instructions onto the windscreen.
The xDrive40i entry model delivers the turbocharged six-cylinder with mild hybrid assist and standard technology features. Premium Enhanced packages add upgraded interior materials, additional driver-assistance features, and comfort enhancements. The xDrive50e plug-in hybrid suits buyers seeking electric range for city driving while retaining gasoline backup for longer journeys. The M60i tops the range with V8 output, sport suspension tuning, and performance styling elements. Packages throughout the lineup allow additions such as Driving Assistant Professional, enhanced seating options, and the Sky Lounge panoramic roof.
The iX3 comes standard with an NACS (North American Charging Standard) compatible charging port, providing access to the Supercharger network. A standard CCS (Combined Charging System) adapter preserves access to other providers from coast to coast. The intelligent charging flap uses artificial intelligence to detect when you intend to connect to a charger and automatically opens or closes.
BMW Panoramic iDrive projects content directly onto the lower section of the windscreen, where information appears on a black printed surface stretching from A-pillar to A-pillar. The most important driving information is projected directly into your line of sight above the steering wheel. You can personalize content in the central and right-hand areas via the 17.9-inch Central Display. The optional BMW 3D Head-Up Display shows integrated navigation and automated driving graphics in your immediate field of vision.
