What’s new:

• Better engines, including six-cylinder motors that are stronger
• Different styles for the back and front
• The plug-in hybrid xDrive50e gets much more power and extended range for electric vehicles.
• 2019 will see the fourth X5.

You have many options if you want a medium luxury SUV because every car company, from Audi to Maserati, makes one. On the other hand, the 2024 BMW X5 stands out in its class because it has a good mix of power, speed, and utility. It has a lot of built-in features and a lot of ways to customise it, like heated handles and blue brake callipers.

The 2024 BMW X5 gets several upgrades that bring it as close to a complete makeover as possible without starting a new generation. Style changes to the X5 include redesigned headlights and other parts based on the well-known “kidney grille” design and fibre-optic lamps that make the car stand out at night. There is also an LED kidney grille border that can be added. Other changes include updated six-cylinder engines that give the 40i and 50e plug-in hybrids more power and better gas mileage.

A new glass panel that covers half the dashboard connects the centre entertainment screen and the digital instrument panel. The 15-inch user screen for iDrive 8 and the enhanced voice control system is the second part. Tablet controls like the Samsung X5’s “virtual” buttons worry us. We’ll decide after trying one.

Even though wireless charging is now standard, the X5 no longer has the extra third row that was one of its selling points when it first came out. Even though it was small and flat, the row gave families choices. BMW hasn’t said if the third row will be taken out for good, but if it is, cars like the Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Genesis GV80 will have an advantage. They all come with a third row as stock or extra equipment. Even so, the X5 was already a high-end SUV that people wanted. In 2024, its technology, power, efficiency, and style will all improve, making it an even better choice.

What do they like to live with?

But the model we looked at for 2020 is the same age as the X5 for 2024. Even though this latest version has more power and better technology, many of our findings still hold.
