2025 BMW X5 vs 2025 BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid

Serving Greenwich, CT

The impressive BMW X5 is a three-row, midsize SUV that exudes luxury from every angle. In 2025, this model will be available with both gas-powered and plug-in hybrid trim levels. Each trim level is impressively appointed with high-end features and many additional optional upgrades. You can rely on our knowledgeable associates at BMW of Greenwich to help you decide between the entry-level X5 sDrive40i and the X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid.

Performance

The only significant difference between these trim levels is found in their engineering. The 2025 BMW X5 sDrive40i has a mild-hybrid turbo 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine. It pairs with an eight-speed auto transmission and rear-wheel drive. The xDrive50e combines this same turbo V6 engine with a rechargeable battery. The battery has a 40-mile all-electric range on a full charge, and the system’s total output is 483 horsepower.

Appearance

The 2025 BMW X5 has a brilliant design, and there are no differences between the sDrive40i and the xDrive50e. Its allure is established by a chrome-adorned front end with additional chrome elements on the sides. While the roof line is tall, the swooping hood rolls into the kidney-style grille. The grille shows off subtly defined corners and vertical accents. The sleek LED headlights have arrow-like elements for an athletic touch. Exterior features for these trims are 20-inch wheels, cornering lights, heated and power-folding side mirrors, and a panoramic sunroof. Options include up to 22-inch wheels, red or blue calipers, an illuminated grille, and more.

Features

You will find identical offerings throughout these trims’ cabin and safety features. Standard features are a navigation system, customizable LED ambient lights, synthetic leather upholstery, a wireless internet hotspot, a 10-speaker audio system, a 14.9-inch touch display screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a three-zone auto climate control system, a wireless device charging station, blind-spot intervention, a lane departure alert, parking sensors, and others. These X5 trims can also be upgraded with a four-zone climate control system, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, remote engine start, massaging front seats, heated front and rear seats, and many additional possibilities.

With differences in their capabilities and performance, the sDrive40i and the xDrive50e should be compared more closely from behind the wheel. Visit our showroom at BMW of Greenwich for a test drive.
