2025 BMW X5 SUV Trims Comparison

A turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (375 horsepower, 383 lb-ft of torque) equipped with 48-volt mild hybrid technology lives under the hood of the sDrive40i, and an eight-speed automatic transmission powers the SUV's rear wheels. The xDrive40i has the same powertrain but includes all-wheel drive.

A plug-in hybrid drivetrain motivates the xDrive50e. It uses a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, electric motors and a rechargeable battery pack, and has standard all-wheel drive. According to the EPA, the xDrive50e can travel 40 miles purely on electricity. When the battery reaches its minimum state of charge, the xDrive50e operates as a regular gas-electric hybrid vehicle. The total system output is 483 hp and 516 lb-ft.

For a higher level of performance, step up to the M Sport-tuned X5 M60i. It has a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft) equipped with 48-volt mild hybrid technology and comes with standard all-wheel drive.
