According to Draw-Tite, their # 76288 Class III hitch is a fit for all models of the 2021 BMW X5 with the only fit exception being vehicles with the M Sport package. The hitch will work just find on your hybrid X5.

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wring harness like # 119250KIT, as well as a ball mount kit like part # 989900 which includes two ball mounts, a 2 inch and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball and two hitch pins.

I've linked to an install video for the trailer wiring harness.
