X5 in 2026 — what's new
The G05 LCI BMW X5 carries on into 2026 unchanged in Malaysia. The current range remains the xDrive40i M Sport and xDrive50e M Sport, both with a 2,998 cc petrol-based powertrain, 308 hp, a conventional automatic gearbox and five seats. The latest X5 developments point to the 2027 G65 generation, with Neue Klasse styling, X-shaped front light signatures and petrol, plug-in hybrid, electric and hydrogen plans.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the xDrive40i M Sport at RM469,800. It gets the 2,998 cc, 308 hp petrol hybrid setup, conventional automatic and five-seat cabin, and it is RM25,000 less than the xDrive50e M Sport at RM494,800. Pay more for the xDrive50e only if you specifically want the plug-in hybrid powertrain. On paper, the gap buys electrification hardware, not extra listed power.

BMW X5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The X5 sits at the expensive end of the named executive SUV set here. It starts above the Lexus RX, Audi Q7, Denza B8, Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q8 e-tron, and well above the Mazda CX-80. What it does give is a simple two-variant line-up with petrol hybrid and plug-in hybrid choices. If the price premium is acceptable, this is the current large BMW SUV before the 2027 G65 arrives.
