Hello, I'm Double View, an automotive influencer.
Last weekend, I visited the BMW showroom in Suwon and had the chance to see the BMW X5 50e, a plug-in hybrid model, in person.
A friend who joined me is considering purchasing this model,
and since it’s a popular imported family SUV, there’s quite a wait to get it with the desired options and color.
Today, I will share various information, including why my friend wants to buy the BMW X5 50e as a family SUV, along with a mock purchase estimate and specifications.
1. Can drive up to 77km on electric power alone?

The 2025 BMW X5 50e is a plug-in hybrid model equipped with both a gasoline engine and an electric motor.
This plug-in hybrid model allows you to choose between the gasoline engine and the electric motor based on driving conditions, providing the benefits of both electric vehicles and internal combustion engines.
In congested urban areas, you can primarily drive using the electric motor, enjoying the excellent efficiency and quietness of electric vehicles.
You can create a quiet atmosphere for conversations with family while traveling, and if you drive round trip for about 31 miles in Seoul without using a drop of gasoline,
you can operate solely on electric power.
As a result, the BMW X5 plug-in hybrid 50e combines the two advantages of electric vehicles: low maintenance costs and quiet operation.
This model truly embodies those benefits.
2. Spacious interior and the comfortable ride of a premium SUV

The 2025 BMW X5 is a mid-size SUV model with ample space, measuring 194.3 inches in length, 78.9 inches in width, 69.1 inches in height, and a wheelbase of 117.3 inches.
Inside, the vehicle features Merino leather seats that provide a comfortable seating experience,
The panoramic sunroof enhances the feeling of openness for both the front and rear seats.
If you’re planning a long-distance trip with your family, the spacious and comfortable interior of the BMW X5 will help reduce travel fatigue.

A famous saying among imported car owners goes, “For sedans, choose Mercedes-Benz; for SUVs, choose BMW.”
This reflects the varying satisfaction levels with sedans and SUVs across brands.
When I first started reviewing cars, I test drove the BMW X5 30d, and the powerful performance of this hefty SUV exceeded my expectations.
Driving this fun SUV made me fall in love with the experience, and I believe it contributed to my journey as an automotive creator.
The BMW X5 50e showcases a 6-cylinder turbo gasoline engine combined with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 489 horsepower and a maximum torque of 71.4 kgf·m.
This powerful performance is impressive, especially considering that this model weighs around 5,600 pounds and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.
My friend doesn’t typically enjoy high-speed driving, but while searching for a vehicle capable of off-road driving for camping, he decided on the powerful BMW X5 50e.
What are the drawbacks of the 2025 BMW X5 50e?
What are the drawbacks of the 2025 BMW X5 50e?
The trunk space of the BMW X5 50e is smaller compared to gasoline and diesel models.
The battery placement in the trunk reduces the available space; while the gasoline and diesel models offer 650 liters of trunk space, the X5 50e only provides 500 liters.
If you require more trunk space, I recommend opting for the 30d or 40i models.
What are the sales figures and specifications for the 2025 BMW X5 50e?
From January to April 2025, BMW sold a total of 2,066 units of the X5.
Among these, the 2025 BMW X5 50e accounted for 779 units sold, capturing a market share of 37.7% among the five available powertrains.
Now, let’s take a look at the specifications for the 2025 BMW X5 50e.
Engine: 6-cylinder turbo gasoline & electric motor
Displacement: 2,998cc / Battery capacity: 29.5kW
Combined maximum output: 489 horsepower
Combined maximum torque: 71.4 kgf·m
0 to 60 mph: 4.8 seconds
Tire specifications: Front 275/40 R21, Rear 315/35 R21
Curb weight: 5,607 pounds
For the 2025 BMW X5 50e xLine that we filmed, we checked the mock purchase estimate information.
Vehicle price: 1,309,000 won (approximately 1,000 USD)
Acquisition tax: 833,000 won (approximately 630 USD)
Bond discount: 270,000 won (approximately 200 USD)
→ Mock purchase estimate: 1,395,400 won (approximately 1,050 USD, including additional costs)
BMW is well-known for having significant variations in discount rates among dealerships and over different months.
Therefore, it’s advantageous to purchase during periods of good discounts, and comparing estimates from all dealerships will help ensure you get the best deal.
For those considering leasing a new car or long-term rentals, I recommend checking estimates from all dealerships at once to ensure you can get the most affordable option through KS Autoplan, which provides a price comparison estimate.
