The BMW iX5 will be one of the fastest-charging electric vehicles in the U.S.
It’s BMW’s third EV aith more than 400 miles of range, after the iX3 and i3.
It will get plenty of Neue Klasse tech, like the Panoramic Vision display and Gen6 battery cells.
BMW revealed the first-ever iX5 on Tuesday, continuing its electric vehicle offensive despite the cooling of plug-in vehicle sales in the U.S. The iX5 is the bigger sibling of the iX3, and it will be one of the longest-range and fastest-charging EVs in America when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2027.
The iX5 is part of a broad fifth-generation X5 lineup that now includes five powertrain options: gas, diesel, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel-cell. The iX5 is of particular importance to the German automaker; it’s the first-ever fully electric model BMW will manufacture in the U.S. It will also use locally-sourced batteries, which BMW is producing at its Woodruff plant, its new battery facility just down the road from its main production line in South Carolina.
