BMW of Napa Valley's launch event for the all-electric 2027 iX3 and the fifth-generation 2027 X5, Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The 2027 iX3 50 xDrive, the 2026 World Car of the Year, is the first series-production Neue Klasse BMW, built at BMW Group Plant Debrecen in Hungary. Two electric motors give it 463 hp, 476 lb-ft and an estimated 4.7 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, and its 800-volt system takes up to 400 kW at a DC fast charger through a standard NACS port.
More on the new BMW iX3 and where to charge a BMW EV in Fairfield.
The X5 started BMW's Sports Activity Vehicle line in 1999, and this is its fifth generation. The first version on sale in the US, the X5 40 xDrive, uses an updated 3.0-liter inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for 394 hp, 428 lb-ft and 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
It also brings the Neue Klasse's technology into the X5: BMW Panoramic iDrive with Operating System X, a standard 3D Head-Up Display, a standard panoramic glass roof of about 28 square feet, and standard Iconic Glow lighting around the kidney grille.

Sit in either one and the cockpit follows the same idea: BMW Panoramic Vision runs information along the full base of the windshield, a free-cut Central Display sits close to the steering wheel, and both run BMW Operating System X.
Information sits along the bottom of the windshield in both. In the X5, up to six widgets can be dragged across to it from the 17.9-inch Central Display.
Standard on the X5. On the iX3 it comes with the Technology Package.
Both run BMW's newest software, with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant for voice control of climate, seats, calls and media.
A spec sheet can't show how these work up close. On the 11th, each one is worth a minute.
Under the hood is an extra 2 cu ft compartment for smaller items, on top of 30.4 cu ft behind the rear seats and 65 cu ft with them folded.
The new handles sit in the B- and C-pillars for a cleaner side profile, and Soft Close is standard, so the doors pull themselves shut.
It's a NACS port, the plug type used at Tesla Superchargers, and it's standard on the iX3 50 xDrive.
The standard Iconic Glow lighting greets the driver in one of three modes: Relaxed, Balanced or Excited.
A panoramic glass sunroof of about 28 square feet, with an opening front section, is standard.
Range depends on them. BMW's EPA estimates run from 383 miles on the standard 20-inch all-season tires to 434 miles on the no-cost 20-inch summer tires, with the 21- and 22-inch packages in between.

Yes. BMW launched the 2027 iX3 50 xDrive in the US on September 25, 2026, and BMW of Napa Valley's new iX3 inventory page shows what is in stock. A higher-performance iX3 M60 xDrive with 603 hp opens for orders at the end of January 2027.
Up to 434 miles, the EPA estimate with the no-cost 20-inch summer tires. With the standard 20-inch all-season tires the estimate is 383 miles, and the 21- and 22-inch packages fall between the two.
Its 800-volt system accepts up to 400 kW. BMW says that takes the battery from 10 to 80% in about 21 minutes, or adds an estimated 185 miles in 10 minutes, at an 800V DC fast charger. The charging port is the NACS type used at Tesla Superchargers.
The cockpit and its technology. Both use BMW Panoramic iDrive, with Panoramic Vision across the base of the windshield, a free-cut Central Display and BMW Operating System X, and the new X5 adopts the Neue Klasse technology that debuted in the iX3.
