2022 BMW X5 xDrive45e Reviews at a Glance

Several of the automotive reviewers have kind words about this plug-in luxury SUV. What do they have to say in particular? Here’s our roundup for San Diego drivers:

CarBuzz has a high opinion of this sporty and rugged luxury SUV, as seen here: “After a two-year hiatus, the second-generation BMW X5 hybrid returned last year with enhanced performance, a larger battery, and a host of new standard features. Driven by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six plug-in hybrid setup, the X5 xDrive45e has combined system outputs of 389 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque which allow it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a manufacturer-claimed 5.3 seconds. As far as luxury midsize crossover SUVs go, this PHEV can manage an impressive towing capacity of 7,200 lbs. And, with a combined 50 MPGe and 30-mile all-electric range, competitors like the Volvo XC90 Recharge and Lexus RX Hybrid may have the advantage only in terms of a cheaper starting price.”

As for Driving Electric, they’ve got a host of compliments as well: “BMW has offered a plug-in X5 hybrid before: the old X5 xDrive40e could manage just under 20 miles on battery power alone, but never seemed like a clear-cut superior choice to the cheaper-to-buy diesel version. Now, the latest generation of X5 is offered with plug-in power, too. It’s known as the xDrive45e and overall makes a much stronger case for itself than its predecessor. For starters, it has a much longer electric range (over 50 miles) and more power than before. It’s a serious rival for the likes of the Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE, Porsche Cayenne and Volvo XC90 hybrids.”

In addition, you can outfit your BMW X5 xDrive45e with custom accessories to make your vehicle truly your own. Just ask our parts team!
