Is the 2025 BMW X5 a good car?

The 2025 BMW X5 earns an 8.3/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Technology, and Safety.

The X5 stands out as BMW’s midsize luxury SUV, and it remains appealing because it blends multiple powertrain options, strong handling, and a comfortable ride. Those strengths make it especially well suited if you want a luxury SUV that feels polished and versatile in daily use.

The trade-offs are clear: it is not the strongest value in the class, and advanced safety features are not standard. Even so, the X5’s broad capability and well-rounded execution help explain its longevity.

Only 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you may need to shop selectively to find the best value.

Is the 2025 BMW X5 reliable?

The 2025 BMW X5 is presented as a polished, well-rounded luxury SUV that continues to meet expectations for interior space, driving dynamics, and tech. Its powertrain lineup is broad, and the six-cylinder models are rated at 25 mpg combined.

The expert review also notes that BMW’s four-year/50,000-mile new-vehicle warranty is comparable to most rivals. The X5’s performance is described as satisfying and precise, with the chassis delivering the kind of driving feel you expect from BMW.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the X5’s premium positioning can make repairs and option-related upkeep more expensive than you might expect.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 BMW X5?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and verify that the specific vehicle’s equipment matches the listing, especially on higher-trim or option-heavy examples. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing because the X5’s appeal often depends on features that may not be standard. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the vehicle has the equipment you actually want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Base models come standard with 20-inch wheels and run-flat all-season tires, while the M Sport Package adds sportier front and rear bumpers plus darkened Shadowline exterior trim. The M Sport Professional version adds a matte black grille surround, black chrome exhaust tips, an M Sport exhaust system, and brakes with red or blue calipers.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive six-cylinder models, a V8-powered M60i, and a plug-in hybrid. The six-cylinder models use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 375 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, while the plug-in hybrid combines that engine with a larger electric motor and battery pack for 483 hp and 516 lb-ft.
• Safety package: The standard Active Driving Assistant includes lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning, but not adaptive cruise control. For that, you need the Driving Assistance Professional Package, which adds Highway Assistant. The standard Parking Assistant includes Reversing Assistant, and the optional Parking Assistance Professional Package adds Active Park Distance Control, a 360-degree camera system, and Maneuver Assistant.
• Infotainment: The curved display includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. It runs BMW Operating System 8 and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus voice recognition, steering wheel controls, and gesture control.
• Fuel efficiency: Six-cylinder X5 models are rated at 25 mpg combined (23 mpg city, 27 mpg highway). The V8-powered M60i is rated at 19 mpg combined (17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway), and the X5 M Competition is rated at 15 mpg combined (13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway). The plug-in hybrid is estimated at up to 39 miles of all-electric range.

Which 2025 BMW X5 trim should I buy?

The 2025 BMW X5 is offered in 5 trim levels: X5 sDrive40i, X5 xDrive40i, X5 xDrive50e, X5 M60i xDrive, X5 M Competition.

Here's the short version:

• X5 sDrive40i: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core X5 experience with the turbocharged inline-six and rear-wheel drive. It makes sense if you want the least expensive path into the lineup and are comfortable with the standard equipment set.
• X5 xDrive40i: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it adds all-wheel drive while keeping the same strong six-cylinder powertrain and everyday balance. If you want the broadest appeal without jumping to a pricier model, this is the trim to target.
• X5 xDrive50e: Choose this if you want the plug-in hybrid setup and the added electric-only driving capability. It also comes standard with air suspension, which helps it stand apart if efficiency and comfort matter most.
• X5 M60i xDrive: This is the performance step-up, with the V8, quicker acceleration, and more aggressive capability. It suits you if you want the strongest straight-line performance in the regular lineup.
• X5 M Competition: This is the top performance model, aimed at buyers who want maximum speed and the most extreme X5 experience. It is the right pick only if performance is your priority over value.

The standard safety package is solid, but adaptive cruise control requires an upgrade.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 BMW X5?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on the right one.

• Deal availability: 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,251 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.20% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,552, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 BMW X5's resale value?

The current average of $56,552 sits slightly below last year's $67,487.

That price movement suggests the X5 has become more accessible in the used market, which can help you buy in at a lower cost today. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect resale values to reflect the model’s softer pricing trend rather than a strong premium. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in good condition, you can still protect value better than a neglected example.

Is the 2025 BMW X5 safe?

The 2025 BMW X5 earns a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS and a four-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in frontal and rollover crash tests, and five-star ratings in side crash tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard Active Driving Assistant includes lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning. However, adaptive cruise control is not standard, and you need the Driving Assistance Professional Package to get Highway Assistant. The standard Parking Assistant includes Reversing Assistant, while the optional Parking Assistance Professional Package adds Active Park Distance Control, a 360-degree camera system, and Maneuver Assistant.

Should I buy a 2025 BMW X5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.20% compared with last year.
• It adds a limited-edition anniversary model while keeping the updated 2024-era design and tech.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $50,361, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $56,552 average.
• It remains a delight to drive while offering about 40 miles of electric-only range.

Consider the 2026 if:

• At $70,437, the 2026 costs more than the current year's $56,552 average.
• It broadens the lineup with five versions and more option flexibility.

The bottom line: The 2025 is the right pick if you want the updated X5 with strong safety credentials and a softer used-market price than newer models. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2024 is the smarter value play, while the 2026 makes sense only if you want the newer lineup and are willing to pay more.
