If you have been searching for a refined midsize luxury SUV that can keep up with your active lifestyle in Moreno Valley and beyond, the 2026 BMW X5 likely sits at the top of your list. One question we often hear from drivers is: Does the BMW X5 have a 3rd row? Below, we break down the X5 interior layout so you can determine whether this versatile crossover is the right fit for all your drives in Rancho and Chino/Chino Hills.

Is There A 2026 BMW X5 3rd Row Option?

So, does the BMW X5 have a 3rd row? No, the 2026 model BMW X5 year does not offer a 3rd row configuration. As a midsize luxury crossover, the X5 is designed with two rows of seating for up to five passengers. However, what it forgoes in a 3rd row, it more than makes up for with an exceptionally spacious cabin and generous cargo capacity. In fact, behind its two rows of seating, you will find an ample amount of room for luggage, sports equipment, and everything in between.

  • 1st/2nd Row Cargo Volume (X5 sDrive40i, X5 xDrive40i, and X5 M Competition): 72.3 cubic feet / 33.9 cubic feet
  • 1st/2nd Row Cargo Volume (X5 xDrive50e): 71.2 cubic feet / 33 cubic feet
  • 1st/2nd Row Cargo Volume (X5 M60i): TBA

The 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats also allow you to customize the cargo area to accommodate longer items while still seating rear passengers comfortably. Combined with a power tailgate, loading and unloading is effortless whether you are running errands in Fontana or heading out on a weekend road trip.

For those who require three rows of seating, we recommend exploring the BMW X7, which features a full-size cabin with available seating for up to seven. The X7 delivers the same hallmark driving dynamics and sophisticated design that BMW is known for, with the added flexibility of a 3rd row.
