SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp., the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, proudly announces the arrival of the BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport. This marks the introduction of the latest plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain to BMW’s luxury Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) lineup.
The new BMW X5 combines updated design elements, enhanced driving systems, and the latest in digital innovation, catering to customers who demand both performance and sustainability.
Unmatched Power and Efficiency
At the heart of the BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport is an extensively reworked plug-in hybrid system. Featuring a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine paired with a new electric motor, this model delivers a combined output of 489 hp and 700 Nm of torque. This configuration propels the X5 from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds, supported by an 8-speed Steptronic Sport Transmission.
The 25.7 kWh high-voltage battery offers an impressive electric-only range of 100–118 kilometers (WLTP cycle), enabling zero-emission urban commutes. Charging is more efficient than ever, thanks to the new Combined Charging Unit, which supports up to 7.4 kW AC charging.
Elegant Design Meets Advanced Technology
The BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport exudes luxury and sophistication. Standard with the M Sport package, it is offered in six exclusive colors, including M Carbon Black Metallic and Alpine White. A standout feature is the BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille, which adds an illuminated, dynamic touch to the vehicle’s front fascia.
Inside, the all-digital BMW Widescreen Display integrates a 12.3-inch driver display with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen. Premium materials, advanced ambient lighting, and tech-centric features like the BMW Operating System 8.5 ensure a luxurious driving experience.
Innovative Driving and Parking Systems
BMW has equipped the X5 xDrive50e M Sport with state-of-the-art automated driving and parking features. These include enhanced collision warning, Speed Limit Assist, Active Navigation, and the Reversing Assistant, which can be operated remotely via the My BMW App.
Benefits of Plug-In Hybrid Technology
Beyond its technical advancements, the BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport enjoys exemptions from number coding in the Philippines under the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA). This offers unmatched convenience for everyday use.
The BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport retails at Php 6,990,000, inclusive of a portable flexi charger, a 5-year comprehensive warranty (or 200,000 km), and an 8-year warranty for the electric battery (or 120,000 km).
