#2019 bmw x5 xline vs m sport series#

Both are well equipped with all the tech you could ask for as standard, while BMW has done well to cater for two different styling tastes. That said, BMW’s X5 xDrive45e is only available as a five-seater – but lack of seating is far from the end of the story.īMW is offering its new X5 PHEV in a total of two trims: xLine and M Sport.

Since the original X5’s launch back in 1999, BMW's largest SUV ( the gargantuan X7 arrived to take on this mantle in 2019) has established itself as an excellent option for those who want BMW performance and build quality, but require more practicality than a 5 Series Saloon or estate can offer – seven-seats being one of the biggest advantages to the X5. Granted PHEVs have a battery as well, but the reassurance of an engine seems to put owners at ease.īMW is one of many car manufacturers ramping up its hybrid offerings, with a plug-in version of the smaller X3 recently announced and a plug-in version of the X1 due in the not too distant future. They offer great economy and low emissions (provided owners plug them in regularly) but don’t bring the uncertainty of a pure electric vehicle.įor example, range concerns, longevity of batteries and even what happens to battery packs at the end of their lives are all big question marks over owning an all-electric car.

Plug-in hybrid cars continue to be some of the most appealing options for buyers.
