Notes
- BMW revealed the fifth-generation X5 on 30 June 2026 and started production in August 2026, so it is recorded as the current generation. Launch dates are the plans BMW announced at the reveal.
- BMW presents the battery-electric iX5 and the forthcoming iX5 Hydrogen as part of the fifth-generation X5; Wikipedia gives the codes as 'G65/G78' without saying which variant G78 is, so only G65 is recorded.
- Dimensions and European engine data are not recorded yet.
