The 2026 BMW X5 provides our Champaign neighbors with the practicalities of a crossover and the thrilling performance of a sports vehicle. If you’re considering an X5, you’ll have four different BMW X5 engine options to consider, each with its own BMW X5 hp rating. Because the X5 can be equipped with so many powertrains, Serra BMW Champaign has put together an overview of the available engines for each trim level. Compare the BMW X5 horsepower ratings and BMW X5 0-60 times for each option before applying for financing and contacting our team to arrange a test drive in Savoy.
