BMW iX5 spotted ahead of US launch, sporting its new Double-X headlights

You can’t miss BMW’s new “Double-X” lights, which debut on the all-electric iX5 and X5. The new iX5 was spotted testing ahead of its upcoming US launch, giving us a look at the new lighting signature in real life.

After BMW opened orders for the all-new iX5 in Europe this week, those in the US will get their chance soon.

For its fifth generation, the new BMW X5 is available in gas, diesel, plug-in hybrid, hydrogen, and, for the first time, a fully electric version.

The 2027 iX5 60 xDrive uses BMW’s sixth-generation (Gen6) eDrive system and an 800V architecture, like the new iX3 and i3, to deliver impressive range and charging speeds.

In Europe, it uses a massive 141 kWh battery, the largest BMW EV battery to date, which provides a WLTP range of up to 525 miles (750 km).

The electric SUV will use a slightly bigger 144 kWh battery in the US. While EPA numbers have yet to be finalized, BMW estimates the 2027 iX5 will offer up to 435 miles of EPA range.

With DC fast charging of up to 460 kW, the IX5’s battery can charge from 10% to 80% in just 23 minutes. It also supports bidirectional charging, so you can use it as a mobile power bank for external electronics like camping gear or an e-bike.
