In 2019, the BMW X5 went through a redesign that ushered in the model’s fourth generation. With the 2020 X5 being just the second model year of this new look, we expect it to be a carryover model.

BMW is never one for surprises in its redesigns, and the all-new 2019 X5 is just that. Its new look has a nip here and a tuck there, but its unsurprisingly similar to the previous generation, save for its upgraded headlights, larger grille, revised air intakes, new taillights, and other mild tweaks. We expect this standard-issue Bimmer styling to carry on with no changes in the 2020 BMW X5. Inside is where the new-generation X5 saw its biggest updates with loads of extra room, an updated center stack, new instrument panel design, stylish metallic accents, and even an available crystal shifter knob. We expect everything inside the cabin to carry over too.

With no visual changes, we expect the same lack of change to the 2020 X5’s standard features list. If this is the case, it will come standard with a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, run-flat tires, heated front seats, wood trim, ambient lighting, LED headlights, a panoramic roof, leatherette upholstery, and more.

The current BMW X5 comes in two flavors: fun and insanely fun. The fun starts with the xDrive40i model and its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine that produces 340 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. This amounts to a 5.3-second 0-to-60 time. The insanely fun model is the xDrive50i with its 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that cranks out 456 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque for a 4.6-second gallop to 60 mph. Both powertrains boast standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. We expect these powertrains to carry over unchanged into the 2020 BMW X5.

The IIHS hasn’t tested the current X5 for safety, but the NHTSA gave it a four-star overall rating. The current X5 has the standard advanced safety items the IIHS likes to see, including forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Once IIHS testing is complete, these advanced safety features could be enough to earn it a Top Safety Pick rating. We expect all the safety items and ratings to remain the same in the 2020 BMW X5.

There is no confirmed on-sale date for the 2020 BMW X5, but we expect to see it in the fall of 2019 based on previous release dates.

Pricing is also unknown, but with no changes coming, we anticipate the 2020 BMW X5’s pricing to remain similar to the current model, which ranges from $61,695 to $78,745 (destination fees included).

The 2020 BMW X5 will compete with the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90.
