The big boys from BMW are about to go silent—but not soft. The brawny SUV models like X5, X6, and X7 are about to get a luxurious treatment for their next generation, and indeed, they’re in for some electric whips. Boasting aught from 2026, these ultra-premium SUVs will no longer be confined to gas engines, but rather will be available as plug-in hybrid and fully electric options with insane hp ratings that would obliterate any sports car on the road. Let’s get into the details.
Your Choice: Gas or Electric
You have got to hand it to BMW for the flexibility because they're not cornering you into one engine type. The new X5 (G65), X6 (G66), and X7 (G67) will follow an ‘Power of Choice’ ideology. That means you will still be able to delight in selecting a gas engine, and for that they are bringing the iconic B58 inline-six or an updated V8 with moderate hybrid features, but expect to see powerful plug-in hybrids and fully electric options too.
Don't expect the eco-friendly models to be gentle either. The non-hybrid variants of these beefy BMWs will be unapologetically soul-wrenching. An iX5 M is in the pipeline designed with over 700 hp to boast, with whispers of an iX7 M70 rumored to surpass 800 hp. There’s toddler in a priceless Alpina-badged iX7 forecasted to flaunt to the tune of 900 hp. That's expenses instead of sports cars, but gassed up in an opulent, family-ready SUV get up.
Design That Feels Fresh but Familiar
The new BMW SUVs will remain with the trusted CLAR platform, but expect for look differences. Unlike the previous generations, the new design is expected to be curvier and more futuristic, reminiscent to the BMW’s Neue Klasse style.
Modern touch adds to trim bumper sensors for the driver-assist tech, modern X series flush door handles, and an overall sleek aesthetic. Spy videos show softening body lines and reimagined contours regarding the bold kidney grill.
A Digital Cabin Inspired by the Future
The stomach area is no exception to BMW’s clutter trimming. Most of the buttons will be replaced with screens, deriving heavily from vision ne human class X concept. Furthermore, It will incorporate wide display that might even feature a second screen for the passenger.
Of course all the features such as enhanced menus and voice commands come with the latest iDrive system offered by the brand. Not to mention, users on both sides of touchscreen or buttons will enjoy this one.
Set With Global Audiences In Mind – Made In The USA
South Carolina holds the title of BMW’s worldwide center for SUV production; thus, all three SUVs will be produced in the Spartanburg factory in South Carolina. This means that American consumers should be ready for a consistent supply, starting with the X5 in August of 2026.
The X6 and X7 are set to launch afterward and should be available in dealerships by late 2027. As is usual, all powertrain alternatives should be accessible from the outset for every market, including electric options.

Conclusion
The automobile industry as a whole is now appropriately adjusting to the electric shift, but with BMW, it's a different story. Accompanied by the new X5, X6, and X7, they are set to dominate the eco hybrid and all electric luxury SUV market. These vehicles are targeted toward both long-time BMW customers and anyone interested in powerful, high tech SUVs. We expect the 2027 lineup to be their boldest strategy yet, and it’s impressive to see that in the current day, progress does not come without power.
