New BMW X5: Spanish Pricing from €97,200 and a Surprisingly Rich Standard Kit

The fifth-generation X5 launches with the 313 hp 40d diesel and 400 hp 40 xDrive petrol, and bundles equipment rivals usually charge extra for.
BMW has revealed Spanish pricing for the new X5, and it is not only the €97,200 starting point that matters here. The fifth generation of the SUV arrives with an unusually rich base: some of the kit that premium brands normally charge extra for is included as standard from the outset. That shifts the buying logic — what counts is not just the entry price, but how much can be saved on options.
Two versions are announced at launch in Spain. The diesel BMW X5 40d xDrive starts from €97,200, while the petrol X5 40 xDrive is priced from at least €102,000. Both variants get an inline 3.0-litre six, xDrive all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. The diesel makes 313 hp, the petrol version 400 hp.
The standard equipment is genuinely dense: adaptive Full LED headlights, a panoramic glass roof, a powered tailgate, BMW Digital Key Plus, a Head-Up Display, front seats with power adjustment, memory and heating, surround-view cameras, a parking assistant, adaptive safety systems and the new BMW Panoramic iDrive. The central screen measures 17.9 inches, while instrument readings are now projected onto the lower edge of the windscreen — so there is no conventional cluster behind the wheel.
The M Sport package lifts the diesel X5 to €102,738, and M Sport Pro to €105,187. Those versions add the M aerodynamic package, 21- or 22-inch wheels, sports brakes, adaptive suspension, M styling and Iconic Glow grille lighting. For the petrol X5 40 xDrive, the ceiling in M Sport Pro trim is €114,193.
Against its rivals, BMW is betting squarely on equipment and technology. In its market monitoring, 32CARS.RU found that the Audi Q7 in Spain starts at €100,915 by list price, the Volvo XC90 at €81,781 and the Volkswagen Touareg at €78,173. The Volvo and the Touareg are cheaper to get into, and the Audi is close in status and size, but the X5 answers with a new interior, strong six-cylinder engines and a more aggressive digital architecture. The flip side is obvious too: the more complex the electronics and assistants, the higher the demands on diagnostics once the warranty runs out.
Deliveries of the new X5 in Spain are expected around mid-November. Prices for the two plug-in hybrid versions and the first electric iX5 will come later — those will have to wait until the end of the first quarter of 2027.
The new X5 has grown pricier, but BMW is clearly trying to defuse the premium segment's biggest irritant: when an expensive car looks basic until the first trip to the configurator.
