I would still get a previous gen X5, even though this car is indeed better I can't stand the infotainment on these new BMWs. I liked the old one with actual buttons for climate, volume, etc. It was the best of both worlds, combining tech with functionality.
Yeah for real. I have one with the new curved display and I've had it for about 6 months. It still irritates me that I need to go into the infotainment for every single thing I want to change. What took one button tap on my previous car, a button which you could locate blindly, is now 2 to sometimes 4 screen taps and you need to look at the screen to do it. It's really distracting. And the worst part of it is, at least I think, that they took away our 8 shortcut buttons too. That was a function I used constantly on my previous car. Equalizer on button 1, GPS route home on button 2, call my partner on button 3, sports display on button 4, etc etc. It really sucks this new system, though the curved screen does look very cool. Also, the main menu sucks compared to the previous gen. In this gen it's just a whole mess of icons thrown onto a single display. All the icons look very similar so you need to scroll down and read the icon titles to find anything, which takes ages. in the previous gen they were spread out over submenu's in categories. I think in the next gen we will see more buttons again, don't think they'll keep doing this if you look at how much backlash there is. I love my current car but I do miss the infotainment of my previous one dearly
I set my climate to auto so lack of buttons for that wouldn’t bother me. My car has screen controls as well as buttons/dials for everything and I never use the climate dials.
I like iDrive 8, but having some things hidden after menus and menus it's kinda frustrating, I kinda peffer the iDrive 7 in user confortable and the 8 more for astethic purposes

Proud owner of a 2023, and I love my dashboard compares to the new model. I love the separate console/nav screen, I love my buttons, I love not having to log in to use my car. BUTTONS gang, unite!
You don’t have to log in. Your settings are saved on the key, as long as you are not trying to steel the car, you won’t need to do anything, Jeezuz so gullible.
same here! I love the dashboard of pre LCI X5. This new big screen looks like an afterthought, just like you just slap a giant TV on the dash to get the job done! It does not blend well with all the curve of the interior. Honestly it looks so cheap! In my country they also start selling this LCI. I have to hurry and grab the pre LCI before it running out of stock!
cmon bro you know these guys are the kings of clickbait. That's about $72k USD with the exchange rate, and $72k for an X5 is right on the money. Most of their viewers in the USA but they put that headline to generate clicks and engagement and here we are, so it works.
To add to this, a 2003 nicely optioned X5 was MSRP $47k. In 2023 money that's $79k. inflation adjusted, the car is roughly the same price, if not a little cheaper. and you get way more features than a 2003.
I ordered a 2024 X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid two weeks ago. That thing is a torque monster! It's also faster than my previous M3 in a straight line and way more luxurious. The two downsides (other than price) are: 1) it's too expensive for a tax credit 2) custom builds take 4 to 6 months right now.
Just ordered a well-equipped X5 at 78k MSRP. For the same money, I could have had a marked-up Tundra TRD Pro with vinyl seats, no recovery hooks, and a rattly cheap plastic interior.
The thing I hated most during my test drive was that they moved the heated steering wheel button OFF the steering wheel. Seems so simple the way it was.
“This is the same B58 engine” Not true, it’s actually the brand new 3rd generation B58 engine that now has factory port injection supplementing the direct injection. It’s what Audi does with the 5 cylinder RS engine and a big reason that engine makes so much power when tuned. If you thought the B58 was already a tuning monster well get ready because BMW dialed it up to 11 with this 3rd generation lol
I got the 2023 45e and the air suspension really helps those corners. I thing the only thing that makes the 2024 better than the 2023 is the engine output and the tail lights... To me. I hate the 2024 dash info system as well Yuri.
The grill not encompassing the entirety of the front fascia of the car is a welcomed relief from BMW's current lineup. The lack of climate control buttons is less appreciated
I played with one of those infotainments when I worked at a dealership - it does work really well! And it’s very fluid. But… BUT…. It doesn’t work better than having a dedicated section of physical buttons. In my opinion, in luxury cars especially, convenience is a luxury… having physical controls are literally just more intuitive and safer - we have fingers and hands for a reason, that tactile sense needs to come back to more cars, they are losing personality the more these manufacturers make cars devoid of physical controls. Good design by humans can be felt, and it seems design teams are either forgetting this or stuck in a trend right now. The more these cars become CES tech shows on wheels, the less designed they feel and more like just another electronic device and less of a car, that you connect with in a human way, not an internet way. Okay, rant over lol.
I feel like a certified pre-owned X5 from the prior gen would be the smarter buy. All used cars are still expensive but BMWs depreciate faster than many other brands.
The vehicle does have launch control. To activate, you set the traction to DTC with a single press (long press turns off traction completely), put the shifter in S position, press the brake, then simultaneously press the accelerator, and in the dash you should see “launch control” wording of some sort. Release the brake within 3 seconds of seeing that in the dash. Sounds like a lot but it’s super easy to do. I have a 2021, but BMW could have very well removed the functionality for 2024.
Gen05 is better and this is not me being bitter The crystal shifter was one of a kind, old ambient lighting is more uniformed and more attractive, no mild hybrid = more reliable, and you can get it used for cheaper
The reason why this X5 has no M Sport badges or black trim is because this one is the xLine model, which is technically the base model, but it has the same level of equipment just without the sporty features.
Just watched a Savagegeese review put out the same day about a competing Mercedes with very similar specs and less options for $93,000 USD. Unreal. This almost seems like a bargain by comparison despite still being very expensive.
In Canada, especially the colder provinces like Alberta, X5 and X3 hold their value really well lmao. in 2 years this vehicle will go from 100k to 65-75k depending on the trim and options.
Pretty sure the steering problem you were complaining about in this and the M240i is the "variable sport steering" option. A lot of BMW owners complain about that to the point where forums recommend not speccing it under any circumstances. Despite the name "Variable sport steering" has nothing to do with the sport drive modes and getting heavier. That is called "Servotronic"
Got the Brooklyn grey in this model. Looks awesome with all the blacked out optics but you have to keep paying options galore. It looks weird with the chrome. We were lucky we ordered and got it in 6 weeks. And you just have to say open the window. The bmw senses where the sound is coming from and opens that window
Its weird how getting everything in black ends up costing so much. Black colour is extra, then the black trim is extra. In the end it seemed to be 9k extra just to have things black :D
Good video. No comment about the pulsating turn signals or that laser lights are no longer available as they switched to active matrix lights. Would loved to have seen a review on the plug in hybrid model.
I just bought a bmw x5 50e for 1.2mio DKK here in Denmark. That's 180K USD. Almost half of the price is taxes. We have special extra tax on cars here in Denmark. Around 150% tax on normal gasoline cars, but "only" around 80% on phevs.
Sweet spot for 24 X5 is the 50e, w/ M sport package. Adds M steering wheel, front fascia & body trim color match, cooler wheels, & jumps 0-60 to 4.5,4.6 seconds. $80K US, which is a lot $, but nothing cheaper in class has better ride & is faster, plus PHEV rebate make it near same $ as base 40i
@@gregs8685 it’s tax code, tied to individual, & impossible to get a straight answer given variables. I believe up to $3,750 for PHEV, $7,500 for EV, dependent upon your personal income(limited for high earners), then the final MSRP must be under $80K, so essentially dealer can’t answer individually
I have a 2021 X5 and love it! Performs well, handles well and is comfortable on long trips. Gets decent mileage, 27 on the highway at 75 mph21 in town. Heated and cooled seats with message function great after a round of golf. Voice control works fine for me. I like I Drive 7 touch screen and twist knob. Also, shifter nicer than small switch. Buttons are handy. 2024 has more HP and newer infotainment but I’ll keep mine for now!
That X5 does actually have launch control, press the brake and the accelerator at the same time (push the accelerator to the floor, you will feel a button click); the launch control flag symbol appears on the dash and just lift of brake pedal and it will take off!
Pricing for the X5 is crazy. You can get the new 5-series sedan for less than 60,000€ in Europe, 30,000€ less than the X5. The Touring probably will start around 62,000€... Do you have 50% more utility with the SUV? I highly doubt that for most people, 5-series/i5 is the way to go!
I’m excited for this to push down the prices of pre LCI. Not a big fan of the infotainment, looks wise I think I would also stick with the pre LCI or even the F15.
After options, its the same price as the 50e, which I think is a considerable smarter daily driver considering you can just do your basic everyday driving, like going to work or grocery shopping, while paying basically nothing for gas, and can still go on long road trips without having to stop multiple to charge.
I like the new curved screen but they should have kept the climate buttons with that little screen like in the old x5 . No one liked it when VW did that and BMW does the same
I like this, definitely prefer the newer styling. I think it looks more balanced. The interior is great although not sure I’d go such a light coloured interior. I wonder if you can upgrade the steering wheel. I really don’t like it when they have the two arms going downwards. Much prefer the sport version with one solid arm and the heated steering wheel switch in the middle of it. It just looks better. Infotainment looks perfect to me. Aesthetically, I think the screen is super cool & the graphics look sensational. So the question is, do the lack of buttons matter. I’d say for me 98 percent of the time no. I’m always connected to Apple Car Play & I know the BM will seamlessly connect me. As far as the temperature adjustments go, I hardly every adjust anything except maybe adjust the temp up and down a couple of degrees. The car has wireless charging and heads-up display, both great features. oh yeah and I agree that split folding rear tailgate and the fact that you can just separately open the glass works great. A base model, with plenty of punch & paddle shifters is great. Plus the economy is reasonable. In my mind this is faultless combination, oh and looks soooo much better than the opposition, especially that cruddy egg shaped Stelvio 😂
@@user-qu2kz4rx3s Stelvio would have to be the worst looking SUV on the planet. I don’t care if I don’t get any likes, but glad you read it, there are lots of creepy crawlers out there, that read but don’t give the thumbs up. As long as they read it I’ve made progress. Anyway, Alfa are unlikely to ever build a car that’s built to the level of this new X5, I don’t think they’re capable.
Hi - I’ve been researching online whether the back door glass separately opens, I am trying to figure out if my paddle board will fit inside, sticking out the back window. I can’t find anything online. But you mention that you know for a fact it opens?
I'd love to see you guys review the 2024 GLE! My initial impression is it has a better interior and infotainment, and better steering but worse engines.
I’ve driven the new M60i and the 2023 GLE 53, and that’s exactly right. The GLE is a better driving car, feels more solid, sounds better, and nicer inside and imo better looking too. The X5 is really powerful, but doesn’t handle all that well in comparison. It is a bit quieter inside, but also less spacious
Just had one of these for a week as a rental traveling all over Long Island NY, what an incredible machine. Does everything well, even with the family and all their belongs it was still able to out accelerate traffic without issue while returning 25mpg.
Agreed im not finding any cars made since 2018 that are better today. So many good brands peaked between 2012-2016... just buy a used car and a huge family vacation each of the next 6 years you would be paying $1400 per month for this.
I purchased one, 2024 X5 sDrive 40i, xLine, Alpine White (Unfortunately) on Black (Unfortunately). With options, I'm at 74k and I have launch control. 37, retired chemist/paleontologist and need a functional daily driver. I love the infotainment and you can set the "1-8" favorites into gesture control. I don't use carplay/android auto or voice control. Other cars are 2023 i7 60i and 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead.
Great review as always. Obviously the new X5 seems expensive in Canada when compared with the old one but its crazy in Australia. The new X5 base model with no options in Australia costs the equivalent of about $135k canadian.
@@KashifKhan-fe8fk over here in canada its 130 grand maxed for the x5 hybrid. last time i heard my model 3 was 80 lakh inr! jeez. really feel bad for you bhai.
I’ll keep my 2016 30d SE with 7 seats and tow bar. Similar relative spec to that just older. And older bmw drivers- pay the 100 bucks and refresh your idrive with real time traffic!! Le bingo!
I had a 22 x5. Just switched to a 24. 24 is better. Drives better. Handles better. Steering is much better - all especially true in comfort. Mild hybrid better integrated. Bit faster. Info is better with the exception of no physical climate buttons - that’s the one issue I have. Otherwise best car for money. Get M sport package with M plus.
It's Amazing how much money some people have. Leasing this is no better since it's like almost 40k over 36 months on a typical lease. Of course this is for only 10k miles per year.
I currently lease (business vehicle) a Mercedes GLE53 and I will not be leasing the new model. My current GLE53 had a base price of 68,000 when I leased it in 2020 for a 2021 model and with options it came in at 80k. The base price for the new GLE53 is now 84k!!! it increased by 16,000 in 3 years and to get my current exact car with same options it is not 96k That is what a fkn GLE63 used to cost. These car companies are out of their fkn minds... Genesis GV80 here I come. I can't even "downgrade" to the GLE450 because the payments for that specced out the same as my current GLE53 IS MORE than what I am paying now I ll buy a non sporty SUV and in a year when the market continues to drop buy my self an LC500 as the luxury/ sporty fix my GLE gives me now
@@heinman6250 That is because the X5 has a giant engine. I will gladly give up back seat space for a larger more fun engine, i sit in the front anyways lol
I think the steering feels like crap so like that because the lane centering is pretty damn good. It’s probably hard to do great lane keep assist while keeping the steering good too
Really feeling the interior color and lane keep system. Beyond that I don’t see the draw. I’m thinking there more or just as comfortable options out there for less money. Does Jakub rate the actual rear seat room based on his feelings about the car instead of the actual seating room? His knees are tucked into the back of that seat back, they’re halfway to his nipz and he’s in an upright crunch position. “I” wouldn’t call that very good room but I guess it’s personal preference 🤷♂️. That interior looks real purty though.

I like the new curved screen but they should have kept the climate buttons with that little screen like in the old x5 . No one liked it when VW did that and BMW does the same
I like this, definitely prefer the newer styling. I think it looks more balanced. The interior is great although not sure I’d go such a light coloured interior. I wonder if you can upgrade the steering wheel. I really don’t like it when they have the two arms going downwards. Much prefer the sport version with one solid arm and the heated steering wheel switch in the middle of it. It just looks better. Infotainment looks perfect to me. Aesthetically, I think the screen is super cool & the graphics look sensational. So the question is, do the lack of buttons matter. I’d say for me 98 percent of the time no. I’m always connected to Apple Car Play & I know the BM will seamlessly connect me. As far as the temperature adjustments go, I hardly every adjust anything except maybe adjust the temp up and down a couple of degrees. The car has wireless charging and heads-up display, both great features. oh yeah and I agree that split folding rear tailgate and the fact that you can just separately open the glass works great. A base model, with plenty of punch & paddle shifters is great. Plus the economy is reasonable. In my mind this is faultless combination, oh and looks soooo much better than the opposition, especially that cruddy egg shaped Stelvio 😂
No wonder your comment has no likes. Awful opinion. Especially on the Stelvio🤦🏼♂️
@@user-qu2kz4rx3s Stelvio would have to be the worst looking SUV on the planet. I don’t care if I don’t get any likes, but glad you read it, there are lots of creepy crawlers out there, that read but don’t give the thumbs up. As long as they read it I’ve made progress. Anyway, Alfa are unlikely to ever build a car that’s built to the level of this new X5, I don’t think they’re capable.
Hi - I’ve been researching online whether the back door glass separately opens, I am trying to figure out if my paddle board will fit inside, sticking out the back window. I can’t find anything online. But you mention that you know for a fact it opens?

Great review guys! But yeah, that price is crazy.
The 45e with a tune seems like the unbeatable street SUV
The 50e is new for 2024, would love a review of that one!
I'd love to see you guys review the 2024 GLE! My initial impression is it has a better interior and infotainment, and better steering but worse engines.
I’ve driven the new M60i and the 2023 GLE 53, and that’s exactly right. The GLE is a better driving car, feels more solid, sounds better, and nicer inside and imo better looking too. The X5 is really powerful, but doesn’t handle all that well in comparison. It is a bit quieter inside, but also less spacious
Just had one of these for a week as a rental traveling all over Long Island NY, what an incredible machine. Does everything well, even with the family and all their belongs it was still able to out accelerate traffic without issue while returning 25mpg.
Agreed im not finding any cars made since 2018 that are better today. So many good brands peaked between 2012-2016... just buy a used car and a huge family vacation each of the next 6 years you would be paying $1400 per month for this.
Love the vehicle (have owned one) but found the lack of second row legroom a deal killer for us. I am 6’4” tall.
X5 50d will be best engine choice on many markets without dirt cheap fuel.
I purchased one, 2024 X5 sDrive 40i, xLine, Alpine White (Unfortunately) on Black (Unfortunately). With options, I'm at 74k and I have launch control. 37, retired chemist/paleontologist and need a functional daily driver. I love the infotainment and you can set the "1-8" favorites into gesture control. I don't use carplay/android auto or voice control. Other cars are 2023 i7 60i and 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead.
Great review as always. Obviously the new X5 seems expensive in Canada when compared with the old one but its crazy in Australia. The new X5 base model with no options in Australia costs the equivalent of about $135k canadian.
Its $210k CAD in India! That too its assembled in India! Lucky Canadians and you!
Not worth the price.
@@KashifKhan-fe8fk over here in canada its 130 grand maxed for the x5 hybrid. last time i heard my model 3 was 80 lakh inr! jeez. really feel bad for you bhai.
It would look way better with the m package, which would add shadow line trim… and some little m badges in random places.
But that package along with black colour costs like 9k extra
I’ll keep my 2016 30d SE with 7 seats and tow bar. Similar relative spec to that just older. And older bmw drivers- pay the 100 bucks and refresh your idrive with real time traffic!! Le bingo!
Save money and get the Mazda CX90
Toyota highlander 2004.
i think id save money and get the pre-lci x5
Its $210k CAD in India! That too when it's assembled in India! I envy your prices!
It's crazy how many car companies nowadays offer better self driving than Tesla
2016 X5 40e M Sport owner here. Still loving it but plan to trade her in for a 45e M Sport in a year or two
that X-MEN shirt goes so hard man!
All my Mazdas have felt premium because of the very nice leather-wrapped steering wheels. Makes such a difference. No excuse for a BMW....
It’s the same b58 engine and mild hybrid. Just tuned for for more power. The same tuned in the m340i
Hey Yuri and Jacob i really love your videos but can you review the tesla model s plaid and lotus eletra when it is in the market plz!!!😊
IMO there front lights are better then basic lights from previous gen - only laser lights had this cool led illumination in daylight :/
I ordered a 50e. Better MPG and with 45 miles all electric range allows for commuting on all electric.
I think it’s a great daily drive to office with a decent interior and quality but without shouting Money. A good 1 of 2 or 3 cars
I had a 22 x5. Just switched to a 24. 24 is better. Drives better. Handles better. Steering is much better - all especially true in comfort. Mild hybrid better integrated. Bit faster. Info is better with the exception of no physical climate buttons - that’s the one issue I have. Otherwise best car for money. Get M sport package with M plus.
Been watching and enjoying for years… do you think you brought your “A” game to this review?
It's raining videos here, damn. Just curious, how many miles/kilometres do you guys drive daily??
A lot. No idea what the actual number is
I just picked up a pre LCI M50i. Get them while they're still on the lots.
It's Amazing how much money some people have. Leasing this is no better since it's like almost 40k over 36 months on a typical lease. Of course this is for only 10k miles per year.
You can blame everyone who kept complaining that BMW interiors were to simple and boring. Now it looks “cool” and futuristic, right?
Eh!
I don't think BMW has made a simple interior since the 2002.
Yes, it looks much better IMO. I had a 2020 and just received my 2024, and after getting used to the changes i prefer the new setup.
Review the 50e! That's the only one in the line up that got a major powertrain refresh along the with infotainment and smaller bits.
Agree!!
I currently lease (business vehicle) a Mercedes GLE53 and I will not be leasing the new model. My current GLE53 had a base price of 68,000 when I leased it in 2020 for a 2021 model and with options it came in at 80k.
The base price for the new GLE53 is now 84k!!! it increased by 16,000 in 3 years and to get my current exact car with same options it is not 96k
That is what a fkn GLE63 used to cost. These car companies are out of their fkn minds...
Genesis GV80 here I come. I can't even "downgrade" to the GLE450 because the payments for that specced out the same as my current GLE53 IS MORE than what I am paying now
I ll buy a non sporty SUV and in a year when the market continues to drop buy my self an LC500 as the luxury/ sporty fix my GLE gives me now
any idea when you will do the new 2023 mercedes c43?
Nice G-Shock! Great review.
No leather steering wheel for the base trim?
Nothing fun after the 5GT.
The reason this particular car doesn't have M badges is because it does not have the M Sport pacakage
1:43 there is an X5 xDrive50e
Did I miss it or did they say what the actual name of the color for the car they showed was?
This looks more spacious and gorgeous! What a color!
Fun fact the interior space on the X5 vs the X3 is nearly identical
Yeah the backseat of the X5 is very underwhelming. The equivalent GLE is much more spacious in the second row
@@heinman6250 That is because the X5 has a giant engine. I will gladly give up back seat space for a larger more fun engine, i sit in the front anyways lol
Marina Bay Blue is no normal blue - check it out IRL guys. It would be a great "free" color choice for the new X5.
Those wheels are 10/10 🎉
If I get into a road rage with a X5 owner and he locks himself to avoid me. All i have to do is scream "open front left window" 😂
Have you done a comparison video with the GLE
right there with you, "old man Yuri"... thanks for the vid guys
I think the steering feels like crap so like that because the lane centering is pretty damn good. It’s probably hard to do great lane keep assist while keeping the steering good too
This car is cool but I wish there were at least some buttons
I like blacked out wheels and grill.
Is there rear axel steering on the X5?
I got one of the first of the '24s back in may. Absolutely love it! Nothing drives like a BMW
Excellent review!
Really feeling the interior color and lane keep system. Beyond that I don’t see the draw. I’m thinking there more or just as comfortable options out there for less money. Does Jakub rate the actual rear seat room based on his feelings about the car instead of the actual seating room? His knees are tucked into the back of that seat back, they’re halfway to his nipz and he’s in an upright crunch position. “I” wouldn’t call that very good room but I guess it’s personal preference 🤷♂️. That interior looks real purty though.
For 100k there are like 10 options before getting this
Not with a V8 😮
@@Digga_10 V8’s aren’t necessary
@@hansporras3364 omg yes they are. That sounds, the power, 💪😁 BMW Audi Jag Merc Porsche with the X5-M60i being well priced 👌🙂
Nice ride! Was looking at the GV80 Prestige, but it was $3000 more than comparable equipped X5....
