2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i for sale in Billings MT
Overview
The original X5 was one of the first luxury SUVs to hit the market, and each subsequent generation has only improved on that successful formula. This 2021 X5, which is part of the fourth generation that debuted just a couple of years ago, is an impressively luxurious and capable SUV. Whether you're looking for performance, a premium cabin design or the latest in technology features, the X5's got it. There's even a new plug-in hybrid X5 this year.
Unlike those early days of the X5, however, there's plenty of competition when it comes to midsize luxury SUVs for 2021. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is one the X5's most direct rivals. It offers many of the same features as well as a range of trims and performance variants that line up about evenly with what you'll see on the X5. There's also the Porsche Cayenne to consider if you're willing to spend more for the best-driving vehicle in its class. And if you need even more space, the BMW X7 is essentially an X5 with more rear passenger and cargo space. But if you like the X5, check out our X5 Expert Rating to see our in-depth evaluation.

xDrive45e
The xDrive45e is new for 2021. It's a plug-in hybrid, meaning it has a small battery pack that can be plugged in and charged, allowing for an estimated 30 miles of all-electric driving, more than twice the estimated range of the last X5 plug-in hybrid. It uses a turbocharged six-cylinder engine paired with electric motors. Total system output is 389 hp.
Features and options broadly match those on the sDrive40i and xDrive40i, although you can't get the third-row seat on the xDrive45e.
