The 2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e Is A Plug-In Hybrid SUV That Is The Best Of Both Worlds

When you can't decide between a fully electric or gas powered vehicle, the plug-in hybrid is often the best compromise for most drivers and for 2024, BMW is making that choice easier with the latest version of the #BMWX5 with a upgraded #X5xDrive50e powertrain as the sweet spot in the lineup. The #BMWX5xDrive50e pairs a turbo I-6 gas engine with a powerful electric motor and a nearly 30 kWh battery pack to make nearly 500 HP and go almost 40 miles on a full charge. This latest #X5 also benefits from updated styling and the latest version of BMW's excellent iDrive 8 infotainment system.

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.

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)

We have the 45E and love it. The 50E upgrades make me want it but I can't justify it. I agree the BMW inline 6 is IMO, the best IC engine ever and why I bought the 45E despite a mediocre EV power, which the 50E corrects.

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 ..😊

[@TheFuelInjected]

Depends on how many modules you want to replace. All BMW PHEV batteries are separated into smaller modules that can be replaced individually and it inotially keeps at least one of them as a reserve to prolong the battery life. Each module costs about $1700 including labour to replace.

[@eskandarany123]

so if the battery is not charged the vehicle will only use the gas engine @ 308 HP correct?

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

Front bumper looks like something was slapped on

Nice

This color is fucking awful for this body style but the new X5 looks fantastic in red or that new dark blue paint they gave this model.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

which red paint?

[@devongee1776]

$75k you crazy. LOL

All the BMW interiors look alike now. There is literally no difference between the models.

[@naveenthemachine]

Still the best in the segment. Also you don’t buy this for drag racing? Any real proper bespoke luxury PHEV is fast even though it doesn’t matter.

[@normanli7085]

What about the GLE 450e?

[@naveenthemachine]

@@normanli7085 the gle is also good but it’s more expensive. The x5 also drives better

[@jsfbay1]

Definitely do *not* like the black part underneath the kidney grill. Ugh, apparently they are trying to compete with Lexus' spindle grill for ugliest front end in the auto industry!

Comes from the factory with summer tires, not all seasons

[@glenngross605]

Mine came with all seasons.

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.

[@chrisak49]

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