BMW Offers Killer 2026 X5 Lease Deals for August originally appeared on Autoblog.
A luxury staple gets a value boost
For nearly 25 years, the BMW X5 has defined the luxury midsize SUV segment. It was one of the first crossovers to mix on-road refinement with genuine utility, and it’s only grown more polished with time. Now in its latest generation, the X5 continues to balance sharp performance, upscale comfort, and cutting-edge tech—making it a favorite for drivers who want their SUV to feel every bit as engaging as a sport sedan.
However, the competition has grown fierce. Rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, and Lexus RX have raised expectations for cabin technology, electrified drivetrains, and practicality. To keep pace, BMW gave the X5 a recent refresh that sharpened its design and added more power under the hood. This August, lease specials make the package even more compelling for buyers cross-shopping luxury options.
August lease offers make the X5 more enticing
This month, BMW is offering the 2026 X5 sDrive40i for $939 per month on a 39-month lease, with $6,159 due at signing. The all-wheel-drive xDrive40i bumps that figure slightly to $969 per month with $6,349 due at signing. For buyers who desire electrified performance, the xDrive50e plug-in hybrid is available for $1,019 per month over a 39-month term, with a down payment of $7,239 due at signing.
In each case, qualified returning BMW owners can take advantage of a Loyalty Credit of up to $2,000, which helps soften the monthly payment. Taxes, title, license, and dealer fees are extra, but the offers give luxury SUV shoppers a chance to get into BMW’s well-rounded midsizer with added value.
What’s new for 2026
The current-generation X5 was recently refreshed, bringing a sleeker front fascia with slimmer headlights, revised grille details, and new wheel designs. Inside, BMW’s curved display dominates the dash, blending a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen powered by iDrive 8.5 software. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and available features like augmented-reality navigation keep the tech experience at the top of the class.
The X5’s powertrains remain a key selling point. The sDrive40i and xDrive40i use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, making 375 horsepower and delivering strong efficiency for a vehicle this size. Step up to the xDrive50e plug-in hybrid, and output climbs to 483 horsepower, with an estimated 40 miles of electric-only range—enough for most daily commutes without burning gas.
Why the X5 remains a smart pick
BMW has managed to keep the X5’s formula balanced: sporty handling for those who want to enjoy winding roads, a comfortable and quiet cabin for long trips, and ample cargo space for family duty. Standard safety tech like blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and forward collision mitigation comes included, while options such as Driving Assistance Professional add adaptive cruise control with lane-centering for easier highway drives.
When combined with this month’s lease offers and potential loyalty savings, the 2026 BMW X5 stands out as a strong contender for luxury SUV shoppers who want both prestige and practicality.
Final thoughts
The BMW X5 helped establish the luxury crossover category, and it continues to set the tone with a blend of refinement and capability. August’s lease deals provide an extra incentive for buyers who’ve been considering an upgrade. Whether you’re looking at the balanced 40i models or the electrified punch of the 50e, this could be the right time to make the jump into BMW’s midsize SUV.
