2024 BMW X5 M, X6 M crossovers pack new V-8, 48-volt mild hybrid tech

BMW is electrifying the performance variant of its midsize crossovers.

The 2024 BMW X5 M and X6 M crossovers will be offered exclusively as Competition models — with a new V-8 engine with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, exterior design updates and the latest generation of BMW’s iDrive control system.

The freshened M models will debut at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in March, with output starting in April at BMW’s factory in Spartanburg, S.C. Deliveries begin in the summer.

The 2024 X5 M Competition begins at $123,295 and the sporty X6 M Competition starts at $128,195. Prices include shipping.

The X5 crossover is BMW’s workhorse and bestseller in the U.S. The German luxury automaker delivered 82,372 X5s in the U.S. last year.
