A REVISED plug-in hybrid powertrain was introduced to the X5 line-up at the end of 2023, and with it came more power and a new name, because the xDrive45e was replaced by the xDrive50e. It only comes in M Sport trim, while the £80,835 list price of our test car was bumped up by £19,104 worth of options.
Tech highlights
THE xDrive50e gets a new number because its combined output is a healthy 95bhp more than the outgoing xDrive45e had. And with 483bhp on tap, it’s 20bhp ahead of the Cayenne, too.
