The All-New BMW X5: A New Chapter Begins at the Home of X

The BMW X5 has helped define the luxury SUV segment for decades, blending powerful performance, premium comfort, and everyday versatility into one iconic vehicle. Now, BMW is beginning an exciting new chapter with the introduction of the all-new BMW X5, bringing advanced technology, expanded powertrain options, and a bold vision for the future of luxury driving.

The world premiere of the new X5 took place at BMW Group’s Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, the legendary “Home of X.” The event celebrated not only the arrival of the next-generation X5, but also the completion of BMW Group’s $1.7 billion investment in its South Carolina operations, highlighting the brand’s continued dedication to innovation and American manufacturing.

For drivers throughout Smithtown, St. James, Hauppauge, Coram, Kings Park, and surrounding Long Island communities, the all-new BMW X5 represents the next evolution of luxury SUV performance combining BMW’s legendary driving experience with the latest advancements in technology and electrification.

The Home of X: Where BMW SUV Innovation Begins

Since 1999, Plant Spartanburg has served as the global “Home of X,” producing millions of BMW X vehicles and helping establish BMW as one of the leading names in the luxury SUV market.

Today, the South Carolina facility is BMW Group’s largest production plant in the world and represents the innovation, craftsmanship, and teamwork behind every BMW X model.

That commitment to excellence extends beyond manufacturing and into BMW dealerships across the country, including Competition BMW of Smithtown, where drivers can experience the latest BMW vehicles and discover what makes the brand stand apart.

The BMW iX5 Brings a New Era of Electrification

One of the most exciting announcements surrounding the all-new X5 is the upcoming arrival of the BMW iX5, which will become the first fully electric BMW vehicle assembled at Plant Spartanburg.

Beginning before the end of 2026, BMW will continue expanding its electric lineup, with plans to assemble at least six fully electric models in the United States by 2030.

The BMW iX5 represents the future of luxury performance delivering the instant acceleration, efficiency, and advanced technology of an electric vehicle while maintaining the premium design and driving excitement BMW owners expect.

Five Powertrains. One Exceptional BMW X5.

The all-new BMW X5 introduces an industry-leading level of choice by becoming the first BMW model to offer five different powertrain options simultaneously:

• Gasoline
• Fully electric
• Plug-in hybrid
• Hydrogen
• Diesel (available in select markets)

This variety allows drivers to choose the powertrain that best fits their lifestyle. Whether you enjoy traditional BMW performance, want the efficiency of a plug-in hybrid, or are ready to embrace the future of electric driving, the new X5 offers a solution tailored to your needs.

A New Standard of Luxury, Technology, and Capability

The unveiling of the new X5 also marked the introduction of a new “Home of X” landmark outside the BMW Zentrum in South Carolina. Designed by BMW’s Designworks team, the sculpture represents the creativity, collaboration, and innovation that connect BMW teams and dealerships throughout the United States.

Those same values are reflected in the all-new X5, with advanced technology, refined materials, and engineering designed to create a confident and engaging driving experience.

Whether you’re commuting through Smithtown and Hauppauge, heading out from St. James, or taking a weekend drive across Long Island, the BMW X5 delivers the performance and versatility expected from a luxury SUV.
