Published on Apr 27, 2026 by Formation Advertising

The BMW X5 stands as a benchmark in the luxury midsize SUV segment, blending refined comfort, advanced technology, and strong performance. A common question among shoppers is, “Is the BMW X5 a hybrid or gas-powered vehicle?” The answer is both. The current BMW X5 lineup offers traditional gasoline engines as well as a plug-in hybrid variant, giving drivers flexibility based on their performance and efficiency preferences.

At BMW of Florence, shoppers can explore the latest X5 models, compare powertrains, and experience the versatility that makes this SUV a top choice for families and enthusiasts alike.

Powertrain & Performance Specs

The BMW X5 lineup offers multiple powertrain options to suit a wide range of driving needs. Gas-powered models include a turbocharged inline-6 engine in the X5 sDrive40i and xDrive40i, producing around 375 horsepower, while the performance-focused X5 M60i features a twin-turbo V8 delivering up to 523 horsepower.

For those seeking efficiency, the X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid combines a turbocharged engine with an electric motor to produce a combined 483 horsepower, along with the ability to drive on electric power alone for shorter trips. All models are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and available xDrive all-wheel drive enhances traction and control in varying conditions.
