Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the RM470,800 xDrive40i M Sport. It retains the 2,998 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain, AWD, automatic gearbox and five-seat layout, with 308 hp. Pay RM494,800 for the xDrive50e M Sport if the 502 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain is the reason for buying an X5. The RM24,000 gap buys plug-in hybrid hardware and 194 hp more; both are M Sport models, so check the equipment list for any further differences.

BMW X5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The X5 keeps the decision focused: two 2,998 cc AWD automatic variants, both with five seats, split by petrol-hybrid versus plug-in hybrid power. It is not a low-entry executive SUV. Its starting price is RM1,912 above the Lexus RX, RM4,810 above the Audi Q8 e-tron and RM8,528 above the Audi Q7. The xDrive50e’s 502 hp is the clear technical draw, but it asks for RM24,000 more.
