BMW offers a near all-you-can-eat buffet of engine choices for the latest BMW X5. While there isn't a wrong choice for any of the powertrain, we finally got a chance to sample the PHEV model, which combines the excellent Turbo Inline 6-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor. It is nearly as quick as the V8-powered M60i model, but gets significantly better MPG and almost 40 miles of EV only range. This might be the best compromise when you can't decide which engine to get!

Although the outgoing X5 e45 PHEV was really good and reliable… the verdict is still out on the new hybrid 2024-and up e50 …Consumerreports just killed its reliability rating due to large number of reported electrical issues (engine codes, service lights, etc) we know BMW is capable of making good hybrids, just need to get the bugs out of the newest model. And that PRICE!

Good to see Sofyan reviewing the same model of my car! I am enjoying ita lot. Some notes: 1. The big screen is something I thought I hate but end up getting used to it. No AC physical button is very annoying. 2. Some electronic sensor issue with the early production models. I had one but it is cleared out by update and dealer visit. 3. Power is more than adequate. Even EV mode in city is more than enough and you can get to 80 mph. 4. Sensafin (non leather) seat is very comfortable, comparable to leather seats. 5. It is a relatively less ugly BMW and it is a fantastic car (minus the look)

45E has a range of closer to 70km or 44miles ,the new 50e has about 60 miles or 90km , the ease of use with the BUTTONS on the 45e is far safer and more efficient than touch screens, but it’s probably a cost saving measure much like the the lack of buttons to fold the rear seats down from the booth. Looks wise it’s splitting hairs, from a Tec perspective the 50e is better and the hybrid is probably the best on the market for the luxury market. It’s a mid life upgrade but it’s a considerable upgrade Tec wise and power wise, some really good value out there on 45e,s at the moment 24-36 months old, so if you are looking for a luxury suv hybrid look there, EV distances are not to dissimilar if to commute 20miles from home and interior design is probably better in the 45e from a user interface prospective, save the planet and your money and buy a 24-36 old 45e then wait for prices to fall on the 50e in 2 plus years and trade up ..😊

I prefer the X5 since the ride quality and reliability is better than GV80. Genesis has been having fuel pump issues with their engines.

90k😳. Damn its nice tho. Powerful hybrid 🔋⛽️ SUVs are my new love 💚💙. They do need to stretch that wheel base tho for 90k. People 6'2-6'4 should fit comfy @90k. Great review 👍

I've seen several newer cars with the odd black section on the front...and no it doesn't look good to me at all. I'd prefer body color there. The black section on the front of this vehicle looks weird. Again....that's my opinion. YMMV

That screen looks very laggy and slow, is that just the video or is it really like that? I cant deal with a half second delay and 25 fps on something that controls the entire car.

Great review. Better MPG than the equivalent Non-Hybrid, but still terrible MPG compared to what the designers could have done. my 10 year old Hybrid gets better MPG and is just as fast. It seems like they are holding back on technology - they had this same performance numbers and technology 15 years ago.

What do you have that runs a 4.4 seconds 0-60 and 22 mpg overall. You didn't name the vehicle because it doesn't exist. Lithium ion battery tech did not exist 15 years ago. Grow up

Did BMW just give the finger to the new Mercedes GLE 450e? The use of a 6cyl is already a win over the raspy 4cyl that the GLE uses, and while BMW rates the EV range at 39mi, owners are getting closer to ~50mi which is almost identical to the GLE 450e uses.

Yes this bmw is probably better than the GLE but the GLE does have DC fast charging capabilities
