Overview

Armed with a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine and 25.7 kWh battery, fused to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2024 BMW X5 PHEV makes 483 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Standalone, the engine makes 289 horsepower while the electric motor manages 194 horsepower. This powertrain helps the 2024 BMW X5 PHEV cover 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. You can drive the X5 PHEV for 40 miles on the electric system alone, making it good for small trips in the city. Combined, the X5 PHEV achieves an impressive 59 mpge combined while getting 20 mpg from the traditional engine alone. With a base price of MSRP, the $73,495 makes a formidable competitor in the mid-size luxury SUV segment, competing with the likes of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid, and the 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport PHEV.

Buying Advice

The BMW X5 PHEV offers a good combination of performance and luxury in the midsize luxury SUV. The cabin is quite spacious for the class but you do not get many storage options in the cabin. The handling of the X5 will also disappoint the purists as it is not at the level that you expect from a Bimmer. But it managed to find a middle ground between performance and luxury. The 2024 BMW X5 PHEV brings an updated exterior styling and the powertrain also becomes more potent. The electric driving range has also bumped up to 40 miles.
