2025 BMW X5 PHEV

Coming off a significant refresh for the 2024 model year that saw the pair gain new mild-hybrid powertrains and overhauled interiors, BMW’s X5 and X6 are otherwise little changed for 2025 with the exception of a special edition for the X5.

Odds and Ends for the Rest
For 2025, full LED front lighting with cornering lights are now standard on both the X5 and X6, and the Driving Assistance Professional Package adds Active Lane Change with eye activation, in which the vehicle will suggest lane changes to the driver when operating in its hands-on semi-autonomous mode. All the driver has to do to initiate the lane change is look at the appropriate mirror; the car will then activate the turn signal and perform the lane change itself. The Climate Comfort Package on lower trim levels of both SUVs now includes massaging seats, and the Silver Anniversary Edition’s air suspension — but not the rest of the xOffroad Package — is available on six-cylinder X5 40i variants.

Powertrain Specs and MPG
The 2025 BMW X5 and X6 are largely the same mechanically, the latter trading some rear-seat headroom and cargo space for a stylish fastback roofline. The base 40i versions of both are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with mild-hybrid assistance that makes 375 horsepower and 398 pounds-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. The X5 sDrive40i is rear-wheel drive, while xDrive all-wheel drive costs an additional $2,300; AWD is standard on the X6. The X5 returns an EPA-rated 23/27/25 mpg city/highway/combined with either RWD or AWD, while the X6 is rated at 23/26/24 mpg.

X5 buyers can also get the xDrive50e’s detuned version of the turbocharged inline-six, which is paired with a plug-in hybrid system that boosts output to 483 hp and 516 pounds-feet. A 19.2-kilowatt-hour battery provides an electric range of up to 38 miles. The PHEV powertrain is not available in the X6.

The X5 and X6 M60i xDrive get a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 that generates 523 hp and 553 pounds-feet of torque. AWD is the only choice with this engine, which returns 17/22/19 mpg in both body styles. In the M Competition variants, the V-8’s torque output stands firm at 553 pounds-feet, but horsepower increases to 617 hp. AWD is again standard, and both variants are rated at 13/18/15 mpg.

Safety Equipment and Standard Features
The 2025 BMW X5 and X6 come with Active Driving Assistant standard. This safety suite includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane departure steering assist, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

Other standard features on the X5 and X6 include a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats and the BMW Curved Display, which abuts a digital instrument panel with the central touchscreen under a single piece of curved glass. Navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless device charging are also standard.
