Overview

If you're looking for a midsize luxury SUV, you are spoiled for choice as seemingly every manufacturer from Audi to Cadillac to Maserati offers one. But the 2024 BMW X5 is a standout in its class thanks to a masterful blend of power, performance and utility. It offers loads of standard features and dozens of options for personalizing, from blue brake calipers to heated armrests.

The 2024 BMW X5 features a round of upgrades that are about as close to a full redesign as you can get without kicking off a new generation. Restyled headlights and other elements around the familiar "kidney grille" design are among some of the X5's styling updates, as are taillights with fiber-optic elements for a more striking look at night. You can even opt for an illuminated kidney grille surround. Other changes include revised six-cylinder engines that boost the 40i and the 50e plug-in hybrid models with more power and fuel efficiency.

Inside, a new glass panel spans more than half of the dashboard and unifies the digital instrument panel with the center infotainment screen. The latter partition, about 15 inches diagonally, serves as the interface for BMW's latest iDrive 8 software and its advanced voice control system. We're skeptical of touchscreen systems that offer "virtual" buttons instead of conventional knobs and switches, as does the new X5, but we'll reserve judgment until we can test one.

Wireless charging now comes standard, but thus far, the X5 has eliminated one of its earlier selling points: an optional third row. The row itself was cramped and flat but at least offered families an option. So far, BMW hasn't confirmed whether the third row is gone for good, but if so, it cedes an advantage to rivals like the Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Genesis GV80. All offer a third row as standard fare or as an option. Still, the X5 was already an appealing luxury SUV. Upgrades in its technology, power, efficiency and styling for 2024 make it an even more attractive choice.

What’s it like to live with?

Our experts evaluated a 2020 BMW xDrive40i for an extended period, which you can read about here. Note that while we tested a 2020 model, the 2024 X5 is of the same generation. And while this latest model has power and technology upgrades, many of our observations still apply.

Which X5 does Edmunds recommend?

The X5 offers just four trim levels, but they cover a wide range: rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, hybrid and high-performance. We like the xDrive40i best for its mix of standard features and options, its smooth and robust six-cylinder, and the sure-footed nature of its all-wheel drive.

BMW X5 models

The 2024 BMW X5 is available in four trim levels: The sDrive40i has rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive40i, xDrive50e and M60i come with all-wheel drive. The high-performance X5 M is reviewed separately.

sDrive40i and xDrive40i
The sDrive40i and xDrive40i are essentially identical except that the latter comes with all-wheel drive. Standard features include:

xDrive50e
The xDrive50e is a plug-in hybrid powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, electric motors and a rechargeable battery pack. With a full charge, the xDrive50e can cover an EPA-estimated 40 miles of all-electric driving. When the battery is discharged, the xDrive50e operates as a regular gas-electric hybrid vehicle. Total system output is 483 hp and 516 lb-ft. The xDrive50e's features and options generally mirror those on the sDrive40i and xDrive40i trims.

M60i
The X5 M60i is an M Sport-tuned version, offering higher performance than the other trims but without requiring full commitment to the X5 M model. It's powered by a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft) and comes standard with all-wheel drive. It's equipped similar to the other X5 trims but replaces or enhances several features. Highlights include:

20-inch wheels
M Sport-tuned adaptive suspension
M Sport differential
Rear-wheel steering
M Sport exhaust
M Sport brakes
M Sport steering wheel

Options are also similar to other X5 models, but a few are exclusive to the M60i, including:

Adaptive M Suspension Professional (enhanced with anti-body roll and improved handling)
Leather-wrapped dashboard
20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system

There's also the M60i Competition, which is more a bundle of performance upgrades rather than a distinct trim level. Power jumps to 617 hp, and additional performance comes from upgraded steering and suspension tuning and a Track driving mode. Other enhancements include Merino leather upholstery and carbon-fiber interior trim.

Beautiful Blend of Luxury and Performance

JamesK, 07/29/2023

2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Bought a 2024 BMW X5 m40i about a month ago. Totally impressed! Exterior styling changes further enhance the beauty of the car. Interior is clean, simple, and elegant. Engine and transmission powerful and smooth. Very quiet ride! I carefully compared to Mercedes GLE 450 before purchase. GLE body style looked a bit dated and stodgy to me. Reviews of GLE touted interior luxury, but to …

A brand new car that died on me after 157 miles…

dms45, 09/06/2023

2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

I acquired a new X5 50e with 8 miles on it. After roughly 160 miles of easy driving, the car simply died. I came one morning to find it in my garage with a severe drivetrain malfunction message that prevents the engine to turn on (cannot engage the transmission in drive mode). More malfunction messages kept on coming afterwards as well. The car got towed to the dealership and I have no … ETA for the repairs, after they had the opportunity to work on it for a full work day. I am. It even sure that the diagnosis is understood. Not what you expect from a new vehicle from any car manufacturer. I don’t have a car right now and the best bmw has offered me so far is to pay for my Uber rides, up to a clip. The dealer does not have any loaners. If you plan on purchasing this, you have been warned :) UPDATE: This is an update to a review I wrote 20 days ago. My new x5 50e with roughly 160 miles on it had a component failure (combined charging unit). To make matter worse, I did not have a good experience with the support from the bmw. I had to escalate emails to get them to do something about this. While they finally got back to me to help out with a compensation, they also told me that the component that needs to be replaced would finally be delivered this past week to the dealership. Please also note that I was told by the dealership that the part in question is back ordered from Germany and also undergoing some type of design upgrade. The part has yet to be delivered; not even clear of it has been shipped according to my last conversation with the dealership yesterday. 10 days ago both bmw North America and the dealer told me that it was on its way and to expect the car towards the end of this past week; but now, the dealership has changed its tune (they do not know when the part is coming in saying that there is no way to track it) and my contact at bmw customer service is not picking up my calls nor returning my emails (hopefully just on vacation but I doubt it). I am still waiting with absolutely no ETA for this. It could be next week, it could be another couple of weeks? No idea. While the dealership refused to give me loaner (some strange policy they have for customers in situation) or replacement vehicle, they were able authorized a rental car under their name (Nissan murano that I had to change recently for a Hyundai hybrid suv as it was not properly serviced). So that’s my story 😞. Owning this x5 50e has just been a complete nightmare.

Don't buy BMW X5 50e

2024 X5 50e owner, 02/17/2024

2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

There is a manufacture defect on X5 50e. Search online for checking engine light or CCU replacement. There are lots of frustrated owners. I wish I had known that before I bought the car. BMW doesn't know how to fix the problem and your brand new X5 50e will likely be at the dealer's repair shop for a long time.

Fantastic speed 0-60 and it is like a rocket when passing using the Sport mode. The outside is cleaner and sportier (happy they kept the traditional kidney grill) and interior has a true luxury feel.

BMW X5 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class

Mercedes debuted its M-Class luxury SUV in 1997, a couple of years before BMW launched the X5. The M-Class evolved into the GLE and today both models lead the midsize luxury SUV class. If you compare specs and features on paper, they almost look like the same car. The X5's new engines are more fuel-efficient and give it an edge on the GLE, and we're curious to see how other upgrades elevate the X5. We prefer the GLE to the previous X5, but this revised 2024 version may change our minds.

BMW X5 vs. Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 offers the distinct advantage of an integrated third row. Going by the information we have now, the X5 isn't offering its previously optional third row, and even that option — thin cushions, minimal legroom — limited its usability. The Q7's third row is also cramped but more livable. The Q7 trails the X5 in power and fuel economy, but it comes standard with all-wheel drive, which costs extra in the X5.

BMW X5 vs. Genesis GV80

The GV80 is one of the newer midsize luxury SUVs and it's a compelling package. The GV80's V6 makes the same power (and slightly less torque) as the X5's revamped six-cylinder engine, although the BMW offers better fuel economy. The GV80 also offers an optional third row, but it's really best suited to children. The GV80's interior feels properly luxurious for an SUV in this league, all at a lower cost than the X5.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite X5 safety features:

Evasion Aid: Helps to stabilize the X5 when the driver makes a sudden steering input to avoid an obstacle or pedestrian.
Traffic Jam Assistant: Combines adaptive cruise control with a lane keeping system to provide semi-automated driving at lower vehicle speeds.
Emergency Stop Assistant: If a driver becomes unresponsive while the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping systems are on, the BMW will come to a safe stop and activate the hazard flashers.

2024 BMW X5 First Impressions

byKurt Niebuhr

•12/19/2022 (updated 2/07/2023)

What is the BMW X5?

The BMW X5 is an exceptional midsize luxury SUV in a sea of options. Currently in its fourth generation that was introduced in 2019, the X5 is one of many choices in BMW's SUV lineup, positioned size-wise between the smaller X3 and the roomier X7. The X5 is a versatile and powerful SUV that has proven successful with its blend of performance and utility.

For 2024, the X5 gets about as close to a full redesign as you can get without kicking off a new generation. A fresh face features redesigned headlights and new styling touches around the familiar BMW kidney-style grille. You can even opt to have the grille surround illuminated. Around back, new taillights feature fiber-optic elements for a more stylish look at night. Other changes include heavily revised and more powerful inline-six engines for both the 40i models and the xDrive50e plug-in hybrid model as well as added efficiency for all three available powertrains. Inside, a new glass panel unifies the digital instrument panel and center infotainment screen, while other areas of the front passenger compartment also get a thorough reworking.

The X5 already is an appealing choice for a luxury SUV, and the advancements for 2024 in the form of updated technology, power, efficiency and refreshed looks will make it an even more attractive option.

What's under the X5's hood?

Three powertrains are available for the 2024 X5. Vehicles with the 40i designation come equipped with either rear-wheel drive (sDrive) or all-wheel drive (xDrive) and utilize a redesigned turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. The new engine cranks out 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, which is a substantial increase of 40 hp and 51 lb-ft compared to the six-cylinder used in 2023 X5. It also has an updated mild hybrid system that helps to smooth out the engine's stop-start function and enhance acceleration and fuel efficiency.

Models equipped with the turbocharged V8 are badged as M60 and come standard with all-wheel drive. The newly developed 4.4-liter V8 churns out an impressive 523 hp and 553 lb-ft and receives the new mild hybrid system for the first time. As with the inline-six powertrain, the electric motor here is integrated into the eight-speed transmission.

The biggest underhood changes have been reserved for the new xDrive50e. Last year this model was known as the xDrive45e, with the "e" representing the model's plug-in hybrid powertrain. For 2024, the xDrive50e gets a heavily revised turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six along with a more powerful electric motor. (It's also integrated into the eight-speed gearbox.) The combination produces a combined output of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft, which is another big power boost compared to last year.

For a plug-in hybrid, the xDrive50e's 25.7-kWh (usable capacity) lithium-ion battery is on the larger side and should allow the plug-in X5 to drive nearly 40 miles on a single charge, BMW says. That's an increase of about 10 miles over the outgoing model. Thanks to a new charging unit, home charging speeds are up as well, now with a maximum of 7.5 kW.

M60 versions receive four-wheel steering, which is a great feature in tight parking lots and adds to stability at highway speeds. A self-leveling, two-axle air suspension is optional, and the adaptive M suspension is standard on the M60 model and optional on both the rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive 40i models.

How's the X5's interior?

The biggest change inside the X5 is a sizable single pane of glass that houses both the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and the 14.9-inch center-mounted infotainment screen. More controls have been integrated into the digital interface, something buyers may or may not like, but the lack of clutter is appreciated nonetheless. Reprofiled air vents almost disappear into the newly designed dashboard.

A mix of traditional with virtual touch-sensitive buttons are placed around the X5's iDrive controller for functions like the parking brake, drive modes and the optional two-axle air suspension. A gear selector with a new design sits among the buttons and, as on other higher-end BMWs, it can be optioned in glass.

Standard upholstery is a synthetic leather BMW calls Sensafin and features a bold, quilted design but natural leather can also be specified, as well as BMW's very comfortable multi-contour front seats with both heating and ventilation. Of note, at the time of release, the X5 seems to have lost the optional third-row seat available in the current model. At best, it was tight and only good for last-minute additions to the passenger list, so we doubt many X5 buyers will miss the option.

How's the X5's tech?

Behind the new digital screens is BMW's new Operating System 8. Faster and more flexible, the new OS allows for increased connectivity and features a more smartphone-esque menu structure. Another nifty new feature is the augmented reality functionality for the navigation system. Allowing for more precise turn-by-turn directions, systems like these are very helpful when you're dealing with unfamiliar areas and difficult intersections.

Other tech features include a new digital key for both Apple and Android phone users, an orchestrated entry lighting display, automated parking controllable from either inside or outside of the vehicle, and a new semi-automated hands-free driving system capable of speeds up to 85 mph on selected highways.

What's the price for the 2024 BMW X5?

Pricing starts at $66,195 for the X5 sDrive40i, including the destination fee. Opt for the plug-in hybrid X5 xDrive50e and you're looking at $73,495. The range-topping X5 M60i will set you back $90,295. Of course, this is all before you add a single option, of which we're sure there will be plenty to tempt you once the X5 goes on sale this spring.

Edmunds says

The current X5 is impressively multifaceted while being luxurious and comfortable. The significant refresh on tap for 2024 will only make this midsize luxury SUV more attractive. Check back here for updates as well as our full rating by our team of experts as the 2024 X5 gets closer to production.

What is the BMW X5?

There are indications that the X5 will get a face-lift for the 2024 model year. There haven't been any official announcements yet, but prototype sightings show changes to the exterior, including a redesigned grille and slimmer headlights. Some reports point to the current M50i being replaced by a M60i trim, which would use the same turbocharged V8 that's in the BMW X7 M60i. It uses mild hybrid tech and packs 523 horsepower, which should only make the X5 faster and more efficient. Inside the cabin, the X5 will likely receive BMW's latest infotainment system (called iDrive 8), a larger curved screen and a redesigned interior that offers as much comfort and space as the current X5.
