2025 BMW X5 vs 2024 BMW X5

Serving Elmhurst, IL

The BMW X5 exemplifies the profound styling and remarkable engineering expected from a luxury crossover SUV. For 2025, this midsize SUV introduces a small yet meaningful update. Here’s what you should know about the 2024 and 2025 BMW X5 models as you finalize your purchase plans.

Performance

The performance capabilities of the X5 remain consistent in the 2025 model year. The first two of the four trim levels come with a 375-horsepower, six-cylinder, turbo 3.0-liter engine, available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. A turbo V6 engine with a plug-in hybrid system is also available, producing 483 horsepower and offering a 40-mile all-electric range. The most powerful engine option is a sport-tuned, turbo 4.4-liter V8 unit generating 523 horsepower, with standard all-wheel drive. It pairs with sports brakes, a sports exhaust, an adaptive suspension system, a sports differential, and other upgraded mechanical features.

Appearance

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

Features

The primary difference between the 2024 and 2025 BMW X5 models is the introduction of lane-change assist. This feature pairs with the available highway assist hands-free driving system, allowing the driver to confirm the intention to change lanes with a visual cue. Other features available in both model years include a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, leather upholstery, a push-button ignition, a wireless hotspot, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 14.9-inch infotainment system, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon sound system, remote engine start, and embedded LED lights in the panoramic sunroof.
