Two electric motors with EESM and ASM technology.

The BMW iX5 60 xDrive features an advanced dual motor all-wheel-drive system with one electric motor powering each axle, producing a combined 570 horsepower and 593 lb-ft of torque. The rear axle, the primary drive axle, is equipped with an electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM), engineered specifically for the innovative 800V architecture. This motor alone generates 325 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The front axle is equipped with an asynchronous motor (ASM) that contributes 245 horsepower and 225 lb ft of torque. Built for durability and thermal efficiency, the ASM uses induction rather than magnets or electrical excitation. During lighter driving conditions, it can automatically disengage, allowing the BMW iX5 60 xDrive to operate on the rear motor alone for improved efficiency and optimized energy use.

The 2027 BMW iX5 60 xDrive accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 4.4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph. It also offers an estimated driving range of up to 435 miles, giving drivers the confidence to enjoy longer journeys with fewer charging stops.
