xDrive45e (2019-2025)

Can you afford a 2019-2025 BMW X5 xDrive45e in 2025?

# 2019-2025 BMW X5 xDrive45e The X5 xDrive45e is BMW's plug-in hybrid luxury SUV, pairing a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with an electric motor for 389 horsepower (483 hp in later M Sport variants). It delivers approximately 30 miles of electric-only range—sufficient for daily errands—while maintaining the X5's renowned driving dynamics. Reviewers praise its smooth power delivery, refined ride quality, and impressive fuel economy when charged regularly, though note it's heavier than gas-only X5s. The interior showcases BMW's premium materials and advanced technology, including curved displays in newer models. It's well-suited for affluent families wanting luxury and practicality with reduced emissions, particularly those with home charging and shorter commutes. The xDrive45e excels as a daily driver that occasionally needs three-row seating and towing capability, though enthusiasts note the plug-in sacrifice some cargo space for batteries.

The X5 xDrive45e plug-in hybrid adds battery system costs and potential expensive replacements ($10,000-15,000) after warranty. Complex drivetrain increases maintenance expenses versus standard models. Premium fuel required. Insurance runs higher due to luxury classification and repair costs. Generally reliable, but electronic issues occur. Regular BMW maintenance packages recommended given complexity.
