Serving Greenville, SC

With its exceptional design and engineering, the BMW X5 continues to set the bar for luxury crossover SUVs. For 2025, this midsize SUV introduces a significant update. Here's a detailed comparison of the 2024 and 2025 BMW X5 models to help you make an informed decision.

Performance

The performance of the X5 remains consistent for the 2025 model year. The first two trim levels are equipped with a 375-horsepower, six-cylinder, turbocharged 3.0-liter engine, available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. A turbocharged V6 engine is also paired with a plug-in hybrid system, delivering 483 horsepower and a 40-mile all-electric range. The most powerful option is a sport-tuned, turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that generates 523 horsepower and comes with standard all-wheel drive. This engine features sports brakes, a sports exhaust, an adaptive suspension system, a sports differential, and other enhanced mechanical components.

Appearance

The 2024 and 2025 X5 models share identical styling. Both models have a tall roofline for ample cabin space and a swooping, defined hood for a modern, premium look. Chrome accents enhance the lower sides, air inlets near the front fenders, the kidney-shaped grille, and the front bumper framing. The rear haunches are subtly defined, complementing the sculpted door panels. Select trim levels may include 22-inch wheels, blue or red calipers, a hands-free liftgate, and heated side mirrors with a power-folding function.

Features

The main difference between the 2024 and 2025 BMW X5 models is the addition of lane-change assist in 2025. This feature integrates with the available highway assist hands-free driving system, allowing drivers to confirm lane-change intentions with a visual cue. Both model years offer a range of features, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, leather upholstery, push-button ignition, wireless hotspot, navigation system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 14.9-inch infotainment system, head-up display, Harman Kardon sound system, remote engine start, and embedded LED lights in the panoramic sunroof.
