The next generation BMW X5 Will have the option of a range of extender EV because this powertrain remains more popular, especially in China.
Range extenders have become popular there, because they mainly make EV operation possible during regular living -working traffic, and freedom of access and worries about charging infrastructure during road trips.
According to CoachBMW is working together with transmission specialist ZF on a Range extender setup for the new X5 with a total target range of more than 965 km (600 miles).

Given the coming second generation X7, the new X5 will again be closely related, it is no surprise that BMW also adds a range extender option to the SUV flagship.
The Bavarian Automaker is also considering adding range -extender rowing line options to the current X3. The next generation X5 and X7, as well as the existing X3, are all based on BMW’s Clar architecture, which supports mild hybrid gasoline and diesel engines, as well as traditional plug-in hybrid and pure EV drivers.
If this report appears to be, this is the option for the first range of the Range extender in a BMW since the downfall of the i3 Tall-Boy Hatchback (below).
In all i3 models, an electric motor was powered by a lithium ion battery only responsible for driving the wheels. For the Rex (range extender) variants a 0.65l two -cylinder petrol engine that was only 25 kW, and a small fuel tank of 9L was added to the vehicle.
If the battery of the i3 ran layer or hit a pre -set level, the small petrol engine would sputter and charge the traction battery.
It is unclear what type of motor BMW type is considering the X5 area extender. We also do not know whether the Range Extender option is offered in addition to or as a replacement for setting the X5 plug-in hybrid setup.
In a traditional plug-in hybrid powertrain, both electric motor can drive the wheels itself or in combination with the gasoline engine.
The sixth generation X5 was last noticed by our Spy Photography Agency in June 2024. From those photos we can see that it has a nose that is heavily inspired by the Vision Neue Class X, which has headlights and slender double kidney schedules.
