Frequently asked questions about BMW X5
How much is a BMW X5 in the UK?
A new BMW X5 starts at £74,280 for the diesel powertrain variant and goes up to £134,570 for the exclusive BMW X5 M model as of 2025. Given the X5’s popularity and the fact that one can buy used models going back quite a few generations, used prices may be significantly lower for older models.
Is BMW X5 powerful?
The BMW X5 can be quite powerful depending on the powertrain and variant. The 30d and 40d have 294bhp and 347bhp, respectively, although one must keep in mind that they’re hauling a 1.9 tonne SUV. The 2-tonne M60i variant offers an impressive 523bhp and a 4.4 litre V8 turbocharged engine, which is of course very powerful but will consume far more fuel.
Is BMW X5 a luxury car?
Yes, the BMW X5 is a luxury car - technically an SUV, or as BMW likes to call it, a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). BMW is amongst the most popular luxury German car brands in the UK and worldwide, and the X5 is certainly a luxury in terms of style, performance, and handling.
Where is the BMW X5 made?
The BMW X5 is assembled at BMW Plant Spartanburg in Greer, South Carolina. All four generations of the X5 sold in the American and European markets have been assembled at this plant, although there are assembly plants elsewhere such as in Mexico and China for several other markets.
Is the BMW X5 hybrid?
Yes, the BMW X5 is available as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) such as the 3.0L petrol (for fourth-generation X5) or 2.0L petrol hybrid (for third-generation X5). Hybrid versions of the X5 generally have model names such as xDrive40e or xDrive45e.
