    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The BMW X5 PHEV is equipped with a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 360 kW (389 hp) and 700 Nm of torque. It delivers strong acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, making it one of the quicker plug-in hybrid SUVs in its segment.
    With a 64 km electric-only range, the BMW X5 PHEV allows for short commutes without using gasoline. This range is significantly better than many competing PHEVs, making it practical for daily urban driving.
    The BMW X5 PHEV maintains the luxurious appeal of the X5 lineup, featuring high-quality leather, a digital instrument cluster, premium trim materials, and a well-designed infotainment system (iDrive 7.0). It offers comfortable seating, ambient lighting, and an intuitive interface.
    The adaptive air suspension system enhances ride comfort, adjusting based on road conditions. It provides a balanced ride with excellent stability, making it feel like a luxury sedan rather than a bulky SUV.
    Unlike some plug-in hybrids that sacrifice towing capacity, the BMW X5 PHEV can tow up to 7,200 lbs (3,266 kg), making it suitable for trailers and outdoor adventures.
    The hybrid drivetrain offers a smooth transition between electric and gas power, making the BMW X5 PHEV feel refined and effortless to drive. Many reviewers noted that the switch between gas and electric operation is barely noticeable.
    Despite a premium price, the BMW X5 PHEV qualifies for government incentives in various regions, reducing the overall cost. Additionally, when driven efficiently, it achieves 50 MPGe, making it a great alternative to standard gasoline-powered luxury SUVs.

    Cons:

    While the BMW X5 PHEV can drive on electric-only power, the 83 kW (111 hp) electric motor alone feels underpowered, making acceleration sluggish. It takes nearly 5 seconds to reach 100 km/h in EV mode, which can feel frustrating in certain driving conditions.
    The plug-in hybrid battery reduces cargo space, offering 500 liters compared to 650 liters in the standard X5. While still spacious, it’s something to consider for those who need maximum storage.
    The BMW X5 PHEV only supports Level 2 charging (7-hour charge time) and lacks DC fast-charging capability, meaning it takes longer to recharge compared to fully electric SUVs.
    The additional battery weight (about 700 lbs extra) makes the BMW X5 PHEV feel slightly less agile compared to the standard X5. While the adaptive suspension helps compensate, some drivers may notice the extra weight in sharp cornering.
    Unlike the gasoline-powered X5, the BMW X5 PHEV does not offer a third-row seat option, limiting its practicality for larger families.
