All-New BMW X5 Interior and Powertrain Details Revealed: Features Panoramic Vision Bridge, Passenger Screen, and Multiple Powertrain Options

Spy photos of the all-new BMW X5 interior have been revealed, showcasing BMW’s latest design language. The cabin features the Panoramic Vision display, a central touchscreen tilted 17.5 degrees toward the driver, and a dedicated passenger entertainment screen. The Panoramic Vision system combines with a 3D head-up display to project large-format 4K imagery onto the windshield. The steering wheel adopts a cross-spoke four-spoke design, with floating grips at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. A horizontal trim strip spans the upper section of the center console, enhancing the interior’s layered appearance and refinement compared to the new X3. Exterior-wise, the new X5 sports vertically oriented kidney grilles and headlights featuring dual “X”-shaped daytime running lights. The front bumper adopts a sporty design with integrated air intakes. The model shown in these spy shots is the all-electric iX5, which uses a closed-off grille; the combustion-engine variant is expected to feature functional air vents in the front bumper. The side profile includes multi-spoke two-tone alloy wheels, blue multi-piston brake calipers, sharp wheel arch lines, flush-fitting door handles with a toggle mechanism, and a roof-mounted luggage rack paired with a panoramic sunroof. At the rear, a subtle spoiler sits above slim taillights with dual trapezoidal light signatures, while the rear bumper incorporates a diffuser-style accent. The all-electric version bears an “iX5 60” badge.
