Swapping their Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) powertrain for self-charging ones (48-volt), the X3 20 xDrive xLine gains the 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder with 208 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the X5 xDrive 40i xLine receives the venerable 3.0-liter inline-6 with 381 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque. In both models, they’re mated to an 8-speed automatic driving all four wheels courtesy of BMW’s xDrive system. And before you ask, yes, they’re both coding exempt as they’re officially recognized by the Department of Energy as Hybrid Electric Vehicles.

In terms of equipment, these two new variants don’t differ much from their PHEV counterparts. The X3 20 xDrive xLine receives 19-inch bi-color (Style 941) aerodynamic wheels, the Iconic Glow BMW kidney grille, a power tailgate, and the xLine trim package consisting of aluminum satinated exterior trim pieces. Meanwhile, the X5 xDrive 40i xLine gets the same xLine tirm package, 20-inch bi-color V-spoke style wheels, the Iconic Glow BMW kidney grille, an aluminum running board, and the recognizable split tailgate with power actuation. In a pleasant surprise, the X5 also gets the two-axle air suspension as standard equipment too.

Inside, the X3 20 xDrive xLine has perforated Veganza leather upholstery, power front seats with memory, a three-zone climate control, auto dimming rearview mirror, wireless charger, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system—basically the same package as the PHEV save for the deletion of the panoramic glass roof. On the other hand, the X5 xDrive 40i xLine has a four-zone climate control, a “Fineline Stripe” wood trim in high-gloss, Sensafin upholstery with décor stitching, power front seats, auto dimming rearview mirror, wireless charger, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.

Both BMW X models also carry a solid suite of safety equipment. Aside from the usual passive and active safety features, the X3 has the Driving Assistant plus package offering functionalities such as autonomous emergency braking, active cruise control with stop & go with curve and bend adoption, lane keep assist, and blind spot detection. It also has a heads-up display, Parking Assistant Plus (automated parking), with a 360-degree camera. The X5 has the Driving Assistant and the Parking Assistant Professional package. Both have ConnectedDrive services built in.

The BMW X3 20 xDrive xLine is priced at P 3,998,000, while the BMW X5 xDrive 40i xLine is priced at P 5,298,000. Both have a 5-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty as standard.
