## Caption

The all-new, fifth-generation BMW X5 is here, and it brings the Neue Klasse design language to BMW's best-selling SUV. We got an exclusive walkaround in Munich with the project lead for the X5 G65, followed by a design deep-dive with a BMW designer covering both the exterior and interior.

This generation runs on a flexible CLAR-based platform built around five drivetrains: petrol, diesel, two plug-in hybrids, a fully electric iX5, and a hydrogen version arriving in 2028 — all sharing the same body and built in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Highlights covered in this video:

- The new X-shaped headlight signature and how it works
- Frameless, sensor-based door handles tested with gloves and ice
- Why BMW dropped the split tailgate
- iX5 specs: 425 kW (570 hp), 800+ km WLTP range, 460 kW charging
- Interior materials including real slate and Alcantara
- The new 14-inch passenger display and its eye-tracking privacy camera
- Full model lineup, from the base inline-six to the upcoming M Performance versions
