Any thoughts on the hybrid BMW X5?

I had a 1st gen x5 hybrid that I loved, but was always in the shop for evap/emissions issues.

I think the current x5 in general rides better, is built better, and is more engaging to drive than a q7 or GLE, and the gap between the cayenne and the x5 really isn't worth the price premium imo unless you're dead set on specing out every stitch and crevice in a custom order.

The range and b58 engine make it probably the most compelling plug in hybrid on the market.

I currently drive an A6, but would definitely consider another x5, but CPO this time.

Thank you!!

I cross shopped X5 hybrid and GLE450e. X5 had a better engine and more engaging drive. I liked the GLE interior, just felt luxurious. Settled on GLE. Mostly because of the past experience. We had a 2014 GLE ( ML350 back then) and it was a reliable vehicle and worked well for us for over 10+ years.

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

Feedback on this Alpine A110: don’t buy one for more than 40k€. Rather go for an F-Type, a Boxster or an M2.

+ Fun, agility, good sound
- Cheap interior & details, 4-cylinder, too expensive
