BMW Romania has published a photo gallery of the new 2027 X5 40d xDrive, a diesel crossover shown without the M Sport package. The price in Romania starts from €95,408.50 including VAT. The vehicle is presented in Vancouver Green Metallic paint with standard bumpers and 22-inch two-tone wheels. This is the version without sporty bodywork, which differs from models with the M Sport package, in particular through its standard bumpers.
The interior is trimmed in BMW Individual leather in Smoke White. Individual trim belongs to the BMW Individual program, which allows customers to choose materials and colors beyond the standard range. The combination of light leather with the Vancouver Green body color creates a contrasting look, as shown in the official photos from the Romanian dealer.
Under the hood is a 3.0-liter B57 inline six-cylinder diesel with two-stage turbocharging and a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The engine produces 308 hp and 670 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 6.1 seconds, and the top speed is 230 km/h. Compared with the previous G05 xDrive40d model, power has decreased from 352 hp, and the new vehicle accelerates to 100 km/h about half a second more slowly. This reduction occurred although the diesel has retained torque close to the previous generation in the practical rev range.
The new X5 weighs 2,355 kg under the DIN standard, which is 40 kg more than its predecessor. The additional mass explains the slight loss of performance despite the same basic powertrain design. The gasoline version, the X5 40 xDrive, has 394 hp and accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Its torque is 580 Nm, which is less than the diesel's, although the gasoline variant is significantly quicker off the line.
The diesel version's fuel tank capacity is 75 liters, and its WLTP combined consumption is stated within the range of 7.0–7.3 l/100 km. The claimed range on a full tank is about 1,027–1,071 km, which is one of the highest figures in the segment. For the gasoline X5 40 xDrive, this figure is estimated at 922–965 km. The electric iX5 60 xDrive has a WLTP range of up to 845 km, so the entire lineup offers different options for long journeys.
The 40d diesel model will not be sold in the United States. There, the lineup will consist of the X5 40, X5 40 xDrive, the X5 50e plug-in hybrid, and the iX5 60 xDrive. According to the source, M versions are expected in the US later, while in Europe they are already listed for certain markets. As a result, the American market will receive a different set of engines compared with the European one.
The photo gallery is published at a time when BMW is expanding the X5 range with new powertrains and electrified variants. For buyers in European markets, the diesel version remains an attractive choice due to the combination of range and moderate fuel consumption. Exact dates for the start of sales in Romania and other countries are not specified in the published materials.
