i bought one 6 month ago, i can share some long term feedback. I had a M340i touring before: drivetrain is spectacural, pushes almost as hard as the M340i. last 2 months i did 78% and 98% on electric only for 45MPG and 450 MPG..... Electric power is plenty enough to pass comfortably in town. It's a bit stiff on 22's. I'd stick to 21's. It's also surprisingly fun to drive on twisty roads for an SUV. My biggest disapointment is the comfort seats: i wish Joe did that review last year ! I agree they do not support for shit ! they are very good on the highway, but bolstering is inexistant. big WTF from me on this. So comfort seats: only go for it if you are a heavier person. Final verdict: i tried them all, as far as plug in hybrids SUVs go, i stand by the fact it's he best value for money and does hybridation really well. Would buy again, with sport seats. Oh i forgot, why does the engine sound better than on the M340i???? (europe specs)

We have a G12 745Le, in hybrid mode the combined consumption in the BMW app over the last month has averaged 64.2 mpg Uk (4.4l/100km) which is incredible, considering the car gets driven on motorways as well as in the city and is a 2.3 tonne living room with TV’s, tables and two recliners in the rear😂 The 45e drivetrain makes for an impeccable daily driver!

The 45e gets 30miles of range in the United States, the 50e gets 40miles of range in the US, it is an improvement, but not as dramatic as you make it. The 50e comes iDrive8, which got rid of the buttons, the iDrive7 in the 45e was better. Make sure that you DO NOT get the 2024 MY of the 50e, there have been many problems with them (don't believe me, just go to the BMW forums). It seems that BMW has sorted some of the issues for the 2025 MY. Also do not get the 21" wheels, there are no tires for them (go to the BMW forums and see all the problems with 21" wheels). Either get the 20" wheels or spring for the 22". The 20" are the most sensible.

The boot space is exactly the same as the 30d. The 150 liters difference lies below the bottom shelf of luggage compartment. Tested both, 30d and 50e. The 50 is a beast and I drive it now as one of the best cars I ever owned. It is also to mention, that you can heat up and cool down the car from the distance because it is the PHEV. The average consumption is a joke for almost 500 HP. Comparing the 30 and 50 is just not fair - in my opinion :). 50 all the way.

Standard sports seats more supportive and adjustable? Our family friend has an M50d x5 (albeit a late pre LCI) with the solid back sports seats and they’re nowhere near as comfortable or adjustable as the comfort seats? Stiff backrest with no upper back split, less adjustment control. Not as nice headrest support/feel and narrower seat bases towards the rear of the seat leading to numbness in your backside/upper thighs on long journeys. They keep saying it’s the biggest flaw of the car, the comfort seats in our G12 745Le are among the very best i’ve ever sat in, and they’re to my knowledge the same ones in the X5 in the video? If you mean the optional ”M” seats like the X5M/F90 M5 it’s a different piece of cake however!

Great car, i have the last of the745le's, coming from a mapped 740ld I was sceptical, but a part from the silly fuel tank it is capable of really good economy. In the last 20 days I have done just over 2000 miles and averaged 58mpg. The main reason is you need to charge at night and whenever you park during the day, the one thing that you must and i empathise must is use the bmw satnav for every single journey, put all your destinations in at the beginning, home - wherever - home , this way the car will use electric/petrol to the best and always makes sure you finish your journey on electric. I'm very interested in getting the X5 50e next if i don't get the 750e. I do wish these roadtest could be done with real life circumstances, i have never yet got in my car and used electric only, you have a hybrid so use the hybrid.

Have been considering between RRS P460e SE and X5 50e MSport Pro to replace my current Merc EQC. Have owned both a 13 and 16 plate RRS in the past and was lucky not to experience any of the reliability issues many have had with Range Rover. The RRS extended EV range and 50kw charging along with more luxurious interior and more imposing driving position has been very tempting, but the superior driving capabilities and sportier performance of the the X5 50e, plus I have never owed an X5 is swaying me towards the BMW. I will be towing, which gives the RRS and edge but the X5 towing capability is plenty good for my needs, so that’s a draw for me. I am placing my order next week, what would you go for?

And honestly once out of warranty and something goes wrong with the hybrid system or battery oh my God i cant think of the costs. Btw a b57 diesel is much much much superior to the porsche diesel.

Not really. On the surface the system says it drained out all reserved power, but it holds the minimal charge to operate regenerative braking and ultra low speed crawling. So I would say it still works like hybrid vehicle when battery charge is depeleted. Of course, the extra hp you get during acceleration will be gone if battery is totally out.

It’s hilarious that the car is hitting brush the is right at the sides of vary narrow roads, with no shoulders to give a bit of space. No wonder cars in Europe are so small

This car was gonna be our next car but BMW hiked the x5 prices by an insane amount in 2023. I noticed that the x7 costs almost the same as the x5 when fully equipped so we bought an x7 40d and we will pair it with a cheap used ev to create a much more sensible garage rather than owning a single hybrid x5.

PHEV don't get the respect they deserve. I think all powertrains need to coexist. Great review!! Keep it up!

These cars are great as run around where people need space . The moment the battery is dead’s is a proper disappointment!

If you drive without A/C you will achieve a range closer to what BMW claims.

Have bmw lost the plot with their pricing?! Not that long ago a 30d was £55k-£60k. Now it’s £80k. Is this to cover their fines for not hitting ev targets?? Fk you EU.
