2025 BMW X5 XDrive50E Plug In Hybrid | Seeing The Light
Is the electric car hype fading? With empty charging stations and rising interest in hybrids, it’s starting to look that way. In today’s video, I take a deep dive into the 2025 BMW X5 XDrive50E.
I’ll break down why this hybrid might actually be the smarter buy over the standard gas-powered X5. You’ll hear about:
Real-world savings when driving on battery-only range
A detailed cost comparison vs the gas model
Performance highlights including 483 hp and 0-60 in 4.6 seconds
Comfort and tech upgrades like air suspension, massaging seats, and iDrive 8.5
Electric-only driving range of up to 40 miles and up to 87 mph
Practical features like cargo space, towing capacity (up to 6,000 lbs), and brake regen
I’ll also walk you through the charging experience, driving modes (Electric, Hybrid, Sport), seamless transition between gas and electric, and whether the 50e offers enough to justify its $73K+ price tag.
If you’ve been wondering whether plug-in hybrids still have a place in today’s market—or if the BMW X5 E50 could be your next daily driver—this video should answer that and more.
