2024 BMW X5 Plug In Hybrid review

1. Style update for 2024 

Stopping just short of a full new-generation restyle, the 2024 BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid gets a sparkling top-to-bottom refresh, ensuring it takes pride of place on your driveway. A revamped front fascia includes slimmed-down headlamps and an enhanced kidney grille design, now with an illuminated surround that activates on start-up. A broader silhouette adds further bulk, while to the rear, a fresh taillight design and a roof spoiler with a center brake light enhance your nighttime curb appeal. 

2. Convenient hybrid technology 

Reinvigorate your enthusiasm for short errands and long-distance drives with the 2024 X5 Plug-In Hybrid. Together, the turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder gas engine and electric motors pump out 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Switch to electric-only mode on short trips around town for an EPA-estimated 39 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge.

Longer trips in your BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid can also mean more miles between stops since it can achieve an EPA-estimated 58 MPGe combined when using both the gas engine and electric motors. 

3. Curved digital dash display 

An upgraded front dash display for your 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14.9-inch onboard infotainment touchscreen are central to this 2024 X5 Plug-In Hybrid's design upgrade. Seamlessly presenting these screens together under one glass panel improves practicality for you as the driver, while the overall aesthetic is pleasingly modern. Smoothly following the curve of the front console, this supersized digital display is surrounded by soft-touch upholstery, with revised air vents subtly integrated into the new design too. 

4. Welcoming ambience 

The 2024 X5 Plug-In Hybrid brings charm and character to the start of every journey, with its unique welcome light sequence. Identifying your approach through radio wave technology, your X5 illuminates a welcoming path via its exterior headlamps, before projecting a dedicated carpet of light next to your door entry. Once inside, your digital gauge display shows a personalized welcome animation as it loads your driver ID and initiates your saved preference settings.  

5. Passenger comfort features 

With so many standard comfort features in your 2024 X5 Plug-In Hybrid, your friends and family will feel instantly at home. Wireless device charging keeps everyone powered up during long journeys, while the interior LED lighting accents offer customization with a choice of 15 standard color options. A panoramic moonroof with power sunshade, slide and lift control, and wind deflector brings the natural environment closer to you, while cupholders and power outlets for both rows add convenient practicality.
