The new iX5 brings an all-electric powertrain to BMW’s midsize SUV for the first time.

The iX5 is an all-electric variant of the redesigned 2027 BMW X5. It follows the automaker’s current approach of adding an electric powertrain option to existing models rather than launching dedicated electric models with different designs and badging. That means the iX5 replaces the BMW iX and takes on a diverse array of electric SUVs such as the Cadillac Lyriq, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, Porsche Cayenne Electric, and Rivian R1S.

As of this writing, the 2027 BMW iX5’s launch is on hold indefinitely for Canada due to tariffs as this model is assembled in the United States. The review below is the result of a U.S.-based test drive and reflects what we know about the Canadian iX5 lineup at the time of publication.

Verdict: The first-ever iX5 impresses with its long range, fast charging, and excellent driving dynamics, but it falls short on utility and value.
