The plug-in BMW X5 xDrive50e can go from 0 to 100 kph in just 4.8 seconds

BMW Philippines, under the distributorship of SMC Asia Cars Distributors, Inc. is starting its 2025 by expanding its lineup with a new electrified variant for one of its longest-running nameplates—the X5.

While it may seem like any other X5, it’s actually the xDrive50e which is a plug-in hybrid, as evidenced by the presence of a charging door on the front fender.

Powering this is a 3.0-liter B58 turbocharged straight-six gasoline engine with an electric motor and 25.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. This combination produces a total of 489 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.

BMW quotes a 0 to 100 kph acceleration time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 kph. It has an estimated driving range of between 100 to 118 km on the WLTP cycle.

Again, it looks like every other BMW X5 on our streets. It does come standard with an M Sport package for more flair, which gives it an M Sport bodykit and new 21-inch M Sport wheels. 

It also gets BMW’s Iconic Glow which lights up the front grille, an adaptive air suspension, and an 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio system to match the BMW Widescreen Display which houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that makes use of BMW Operating System 8.5.

The 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e is now available for a suggested retail price of Php 6,990,000, effectively making it more affordable than the diesel variants despite this being the new top-spec variant.

Buyers will be able to take advantage of a five-year or 200,000 km comprehensive warranty, and an eight-year or 120,000 km battery warranty, whichever comes first.
